zr2highrider Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 I finally got enough money to do a cheap top end rebuild ($250 for a piston kit). Just looking on ebay I found a few brands for around $200. I just wanted to get a set of pistons that are reliable and will last me a long time. Any thoughts on what brand I should get? (need piston - 64.75mm, rings, bearings, and gasket kit) Quote

gasmask34 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 x2, i'm gettin the teflon ported pistons for my 4mill.... i've used pro-x and wsm pistons before with no problem but if your using alky the go with wiseco. Quote
shanYE west Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 i've used pro-x and wsm pistons before with no problem but if your using alky the go with wiseco. I'll take WSM pistons with alky all day.. Quote
bansheesandrider Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 I would not run anything but a Wiseco based piston, and only let people that KNOW what they are doing modify them if you need sometning different. Quote

I'm the opposite.. 68mm and smaller I use WSM.. I'm forced to use Wiseco in my new build.. since nothing else is available.. Quote
zr2highrider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks guys. I used a wiseco in my XR200 a few years ago. Since this is my first 2 stroke top end rebuild I didnt know anything about the coatings or anything or even if it mattered. Should be orderin up some wiseco's tonight. Quote
