Abstract: A piston pin for connecting a piston to a connecting rod especially but not exclusively of an internal combustion engine is made from a sleeve formed by a non-cutting rolling procedure at formation of a longitudinal slot. The longitudinal slot of the sleeve may extend in a plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the sleeve, or may have a wave-like configuration, or may be formed between longitudinal edges interlocking in the form of a tongue and groove. The outer surface of the piston pin is cylindrical while the interior thereof is formed with a central cylindrical section which terminates on both sides in sloped sections.
