sheerider1026 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 My shop guy said WSM are the best.. what is your opinion and WHY? WISECO!! why?? because i have ran them for years and never a problem.. i heard bad things on wsm and especially vitos pistons.. a buddy of mine ran vitos several times.., they alway let him down and trashed his cylinders Quote
flattrakker Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 well ive heard the forged and cast stories i just want to know what the difference is. Quote
sled Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) i think the vitos and WSMs have problems breaking piston skirts and stuff. i never had a problem running wisecos or pro x. both are pretty good pistons. Edited October 27, 2007 by sled Quote
sheerider1026 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 well ive heard the forged and cast stories i just want to know what the difference is. in my opinion. a cast piston is a good stock replacement.. if you plan on pipes, head, timing(especialy timing) then go with a good forged piston, as they are mor up to the higher rpms, higher heat and so on.. i hope this helps.. its always a personal prefernce but i stick wih wiseco, no horror stories here on the wiseco's .. cheers Quote
Lethaface Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 I agree about wiseco. I've never had a problem with one of there pistons.. I've never had a melt down or piston failure to date. On the other hand i have nothing bad to say about WSM as i've never had any experience with them, but i would stay away from vito's.. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 wiseco.. dont buy anything else.. Quote
sheerider1026 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 wiseco.. dont buy anything else.. hey guys. off subject.. i have a 68mm cub stock stroke.. 33 pwk's.. i haaate thins thing in the trails.. i had a stock cyl stock port and cab setup with timing, t5's, head.. was an awesome hard pulling snappy motor.. i am going back to that setup but with the 33 pwk's.. do u think the stock carb would be better for power and that snappy motor i am after? oh yeah.. i would use the wiseco's i think the prices are about the same anyway Quote
shanYE west Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 Pistons are like Ice Cream.. Everyone has their favorite Flavor and they all melt down. Quote
