A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
You need a hydraulic press to press the pin into the piston and through the connecting rod

I believe a gudgeon pin is what the British call a connecting rod pin (or wrist pin or piston pin) in a reciprocating assembly, (piston, connecting rod, crank ) It connects the piston head to the connecting rod.

The gudgeon pin or wrist pin (as it is called in the US), connects the piston to the connecting rod and provides a bearing for the connecting rod to pivot upon as the piston moves.
The piston is moved by the connecting rod which in turn is moved by the crankshaft. It is only on the power stroke that the piston moves the connecting rod, crankshaft and all the rest of the engine, in all the other strokes the engine, crankshaft and connecting rod move the piston.

The piston pin joins the piston to the connecting rod. Igniting fuel / air mixture pushes down on the top of the piston, the piston transfers the force to the connecting rod, which in turn pushes against the crankshaft, converting the up and down motion of the piston to the rotary motion of the crankshaft. The piston pin allows back and forth motion of the connecting rod (as it's other end is moving back and forth in a circular motion with the crankshaft.)...if instead of a pin a solid joint was made from the piston to the connecting rod the engine would not be able to run, as the connecting rod would try to rock the piston back and forth (side to side, not up and down) as the rod was moved sideways with the crankshaft.
In an automotive engine, the wrist pin connects the piston to the connecting rod. It allows the piston to move up and down while the connecting rod transfers this motion to the crankshaft. This connection is crucial for proper engine operation and performance.
