Re: wisco pistons

wisco is a very reputable company, and makes pistons for just about anything.<br />and their prices are very good, give them a call.

Re: wisco pistons

I've used Wiseco pistons , but not in a 'zuki, and they're good pistons but they're forged pistons which, for the lack of a better word, makes them a little fragile. The last pistons I replaced, I used Promarine. They're a good, cast piston and are a lot more forgiving. I like 'um and that's all my outboard machinist buddy is using now.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: wisco pistons

I used them in my Suzuki RM250, the dual ring system. I noticed a difference in performance. Much better. <br /><br />I dont know if it applies to outboards, but I think that most use 3 rings, and I think that wiseco uses 2. Dont know if that makes a difference, that is just how it is in motorcycles.<br /><br />When rebuilding outboards, I always use the factory pistons. It is not good to mix forged and cast pistons.

Re: wisco pistons

Weisco is a very good piston, but like everyone else said they are forged. If you do decide to go with them allow extra break in time.

Re: wisco pistons

Make sure you get the 31 series. The 30 series is a bit older without the electra coating. <br /><br />What model motor? I'll get you the correct number to order.<br /><br />Good luck!
