YFZ350kid Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 I know Wiseco pistons are awesome and they are what ive used for years but I was wondering how many people have had faulty pistons out of the box? I'm finally getting back to the banshee project after a month or so of waiting on parts and the weather to cool off, and now I go to install the pistons and one of them has a burr in the hole where the wrist pin goes. so I cant proceed with install until I get this problem solved, i've sent an e-mail to wiseco already and am awaiting a response. anyone have a similar problem with their pistons before?

sinisterboo Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 So de-burr it! with all the out-sourced parts we are getting these days, we are bound to get some shitty stuff. Sounds like you either got Jose's first piston out the machine monday morning, or the last one friday round quitting time! Quote
YFZ350kid Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Posted September 20, 2008 hahaha, true that... but I'm just going to the safe side... if there is a flaw in the machining of the piston at the wrist pin, then it makes me wonder if there is a flaw in the rest of the piston... Quote

When I opened my pistons the go / no go gauge they use on the wrist pin bore was in the piston... apparently they never replaced it and QC has gone down hill. LOL Quote

gumby6t9 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 I emailed Wiseco a picture of it in my piston and asked if they wanted me to send it back... no response, imagine that! Quote
