Bansh-eman Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 for sure 25 is wayyyyyyyy to big.. you can barley hold compression with that much of a gap... Quote
kawiking Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 hate to order another set of pistons but if i cant get in touch with them thats what i'll have to do. im not running them like that after putting in a new crank,drag port and alot of other crap.just not worth it. this sucks!!!

Bansh-eman Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 you shouldnt need new pistons... you can buy just rings... also u never said if the rings move around in the groove or if they are stiff?? i hate to rub salt in the wound but should stick with weisco... i have never heard of this problem with them casue their pistons come with the rings... you dont have to purcashe them seperate...

kawiking Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 the rings were tight on the piston. i got ahold of wsm yesterday. talked to a couple of people. finally talked to a guy named richard(1-800-222-3375).... he said he's had alot of people call and say the ring gap seemed big. he said that the ring spec runs about like oem 14-18. he said he's seem a couple of 20's. i told him i had over 25. he said he's a banshee owner and has run this piston and rings in his bike with no problem.asked if i wanted to return them, i told him i didnt buy them from him so....... well, he told me he's going to get a set of oem rings and send them my way free of charge. he told me to let him know if they fit any better. i asked him if he was the tech man and he said kind of, he was the owner. so that made me feel better. so hopefully this will fix my problem. thanks for all the help !!! rico(kawiking) Quote
