A cylindrical center gudgeon is housed in the cylindrical bore, the center gudgeon including a generally cylindrical outer surface having therein a groove defining a generally horizontal plane, and a flat defined by a vertical, planar surface forming a chord of the outer surface. A bottom retainer includes a plurality of ring segments housed in the groove, and a key having a vertical, planar key inner surface engaging the center gudgeon flat and facing the ends of two of the ring segments.
