McSkinner Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 whatup fellas? I just got a pair of wiseco pro-lites with rings and clips but no bearings. I notice that the top end kit they sell comes with wrist pin bearings. Do I need to go out and get some before I put the pistons in, or can I use my current bearings with the new setup. Also, if I need some, where's the cheapest place. help me out. thanks. Quote
screamingtwin Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 You need new bearings!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
fixitrod Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Those bearings are pretty cheap. If one goes, it will take the crank, piston, cylinder and head with it. I'd spend the $20 and get new ones. I suprised the kit didn't come with them, but I guess there are different kits out there. Quote
shannonpurdy Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 I just got new pistons and they did not come with bearings either. (Wiseco P.L. from Rocky Mtn ATV) I agree with fixitrd, don't take a chance bearings are cheap compared to a crank! Quote
McSkinner Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks guys. Yeah, I got these pistons on ebay. The seller tried to get away with a light hone and new stock bore pistons, but ended up with low compression and having to rebore, so I got these pistons for 65 bucks shipped. One catch... no bearings. But yeah, I'll be sure to pick up some new ones before the install. Quote
