TEXWS6 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 I have a stock piston and bore and just want to replace the rings. I got a quote for $35/piston from the local dealership. Is this a good price? Where could i get these online? thanks Quote
ScreaminShee01 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 at 35 bucks a pistons screw it... find somewhere else or order wisecoes for like 50-60 (you get new pistons and rings) bucks a piston and your quad will run better Quote
TEXWS6 Posted December 26, 2003 Author Report Posted December 26, 2003 know where i can get just the rings for the stock pistons?? I thought that price was a little steep as well, guess that's why they call 'em stealerships... Quote
banshee_rider95 Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 try getting them at magic racing...they will prolly not have them online so i would call them up....i get my vitos superstock rings with a bore of 80 for 24.95$ Quote
fixitrod Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Make sure to hone the cylinder too. That way the new ring will take the shape of the cylinder and get a good seal. Quote
TEXWS6 Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Posted December 30, 2003 what's the difference between honing and boring? I am gonna keep stock piston and bore. Quote
SICK BOY Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 When you bore your makeing the cylinder size larger,and when you hone your just removing minor scraps and scraches from the cylinder. Quote
banshee_rider95 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 yep....the dealership will prolly want like 40 buck a hour thats what mine said.....I get my done at another shop for 6bucks a cylinder. And thats not bad Quote
TEXWS6 Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Posted December 31, 2003 i had a guy mill my head that ports heads for drag cars, i will just ask him to do it... Thanks Quote
Dragg-on Posted January 1, 2004 Report Posted January 1, 2004 wiseco rings are 25$ a piston. 35 is too much Quote
TEXWS6 Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Posted January 1, 2004 i have heard some bad things about Wiseco pistons. Can't the stock pistons take more wear and tear than the Wiseco's?? Quote
SICK BOY Posted January 1, 2004 Report Posted January 1, 2004 Texws6 what bad things have you heard about Wiseco pistons?I never had a problem with them,and I know a lot of other guys who never had any problems. Quote
TEXWS6 Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Posted January 1, 2004 there is a respectable guy that lives in the area and has had everything from a 250R to a Quadzilla, and now he hays a pretty sweet shee. He says that the Wiseco's will seize up when your bike overheats the first time, that's just his personal experience. What do you guys think?? Quote
Dragg-on Posted January 1, 2004 Report Posted January 1, 2004 hmmm, well, All I know is that Major shops like Grand River, and Patriot racing only recommend Wiseco Forged pistons on my alcohol motor and that cast pistons, like stock/ pro X will not last. so i think that wisecoe are strong pistons, If you have overheating problems then id say you are lean or have another issue you need to fix first.

MichiganMafia Posted January 2, 2004 Report Posted January 2, 2004 Magic Racing has rings for stock pistons, they are $19.95/piston. I had to call and order them though, they weren't available online. Quote
