I use a gudgeon pin tool (?) it looks like a piston ring compressor but straps around the piston whilst you wind in the pin. I used to tap the pins in
carefully but was never happy doing that then a mate gave me the tool

There is clearence in the little end bush and in the piston, assemble them using the oil that you will run in the engine and the gudgon pin should
just push in using thumb pressure,
