DirtDiggler69 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I had a air leak crack a piston skirt , so i'm gonna buy a new piston kit and gaskets to put it back together . The Pistons in it are Wiseco Pro-X . I don't have a precision caliper to measure the piston . The Casting marks are Pro X-31k , there is a 4 cast between the intake ports and on top of the piston there is a 200 stamped on the top of the piston . The cylinder walls look fine , the left side had a air leak that put a crack in the skirt . I can tell that the left side got hot due to the airleak cause the top of the piston is black , good thing I shut it down when I did because If the skirt broke off I'd be looking for a new crank . if anyone can ID the piston size I'd appreciate it . I'm gonna get a caliper tomorrow or at least borrow one to double check . Quote

tedd1 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 A broken skirt is usually caused by cylinders that look like ( )... And, NO, you can't see it. Take them and have them properly measured. It shouldn't cost much to for the piece of mind. Quote
DirtDiggler69 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Posted January 28, 2012 I had the pistons measured today and they mic out to be 66mm , I'm gonna have the cylinders mic'd Monday and make sure their iant any further issues . As long as they measure out ok I'll Just do a piston / gasket kit and get a few trips to the dunes and next year resleeve / buy cylinders . I'm sure it was due to my jacked up air leak . At .080 over , is there the tendency for the cylinders to be ( ) shaped? Thanks for the help guys . Quote
