Bansheeteddy Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Hey guys , How are Vito's pistons ? Going to be building Athena 392 big bore kit . But the Athena pistons are cast . I wanted weisco forged pistons . But from my research . Weisco makes Vito's pistons and Vito's pistons are forged . That's why I was going to used them in my 392 big bore kit . So let me know how are the Vito's pistons . I ridehard in the street , street race and wheelie a What's everybody take on Vito's pistons under abuse ? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 For YOUR application. ...get the Weisco. Quote
Bansheeteddy Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 Ok . Didn't know if they where any dufferbt since they are Mage by the sane company Quote
BANSHEE HP Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 They are not made by the same company. Some of vitos pistons are made by wiseco but not the 68mm pistons. The 68mm pistons are fine. 3 different pin heights. If your running a 392 then a standard pin height piston is what you need. You could take windycityjohns advice and get the wiseco 9768mo6800 pistons($150each) made for trinity. He loves trinity so much. 1 Quote

I just have to make sure, that they standard pin height correct ? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 so I can use the Vito's 68mm pistons . I just have to make sure, that they standard pin height correct ? Yes. You can ask for piston advice…then go ahead and ignore the information and continue on with the plan you had made up in your mind before you ever even asked the question. Quote
J-Madd Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 The Vito's I have ran are coated. And appear high quality. They used to have problems with piston skirts, but they make them thicker now. Quote
Bansheeteddy Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 Yes.

They giving me a the same info I read up on . Quote
Bansheeteddy Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 Also looking at wsm forged pistons too. Quote
sleeper06 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Wsm forged are great pistons , about 15grams lighter than wiseco , coated , boost ported with larger windows.i never had a breakage with a wsm race piston but I also know how to assemble a motor most piston complaints of any brand is due to installer error or machining error 1 Quote
