banshee_boy09 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Has anyone used these yet? I am in the process of overhauling my banshee and the funds are VERY tight to say the least, Ive been running wiseco pro lites but seems like just the pistons, rings, pins, and circlips are 185$ plus 12.99$ shipping from rj atv. What do you guys think ? Quote

dajogejr Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 You're going to find people have had good/bad with them. I'd choose WSM or Wiseco... Wiseco has raised their prices in the last few months...but you simply can't go wrong with them. To quote some famous nut hugging founder on this site "You can go broke saving money.." I like Wiseco, fouledout has had a stellar running 4 mil cub using WSM pistons for the past two years (Nate McCoy likes these)...without issue. If you do a search on Namura Pistons on the board you'll get plenty of reading, but the general consensus is Wiseco.... Quote
shanYE west Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 I agree with Dave. Do a search on pistons and kinda put the info together to make your own opinion. Majority rule is wiseco. I must admit I was a bit scared running the WSM's but.. after 2 yrs my pistons still were in good shape when I pulled them and they went through HELL!! Lots of cold passes without warmup running @ 13 degree advanced timing. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. But for every good story you hear.. you'll hear a few horror stories also and that goes for every piston. Pistons are like motor oil.. everyone has their favorite. Quote

One of the site sponsors could probably beat that deal. Quote
