what kind of piston?

[mjnp06]

ok im sure everyone has there favorite, but what is the best piston for a stock blaster? i see alot of wiseco, wsm, and manura. is a teflon coated, hi silocone piston really mean anything? someone in here said not to use a wiseco if you are not racing it.

thanks

wiseco, i have used them in everything.

 

[brandoz28]

i'll use wiseco for everything

well if its a stock blaster id say stock :-[

wiseco seem to be the best

Wiseco makes great pistons.

If you're redoing the top end just because, check the stock piston, it may be fine. I recently did my 200 blaster, opened it up, had the cylinder honed, re-used the stock piston, and threw in a new set of rings. If you do this, keep in mind you still have to do a break in period for the rings to seat properly.

I have a stock WSM piston that I bought thinking I might use but don't think I ever will if you want. From what I've heard they don't compare to wiseco though.

wiseco make forged pistons, while all the others are cast. wiseco are generally stronger

another vote for wiseco here

does the teflon coating make a difference?

Since the 80's the only piston that I used in cycles & ATV's I:I

thanks guys, i guess im going with the wiseco

teflon coasting will inprove the wear characteristics of the piston, Namura make a cast psiton with teflon coating, they also have a higher silica content than stock or Prox pistons, so its one of your better cast pistons but id still say its not as good as forged!

I ONLY put Wiseco in my 2-Strokes, even stock motors, forged is the only way to go if you want it to last.

I have been using the WSM piston in my blaster with no problem.. If your piston-to-wall clearance is good the piston will hold up.. I've never been one to buy parts based on the name on the box.. MY stock piston lasted 5 years in a new blaster. Maintenance is key to survival of a motor.

yip, i agree, your motor is only as good as the person who built it, good parts fitted badly wil probably fail before cheaper parts fitted well!

Well said! Firstly do the job right the first time

I have a WSM piston in my motor now and have had no problem with it.. I had run my brand new stock motor( stock piston) piped and jetted for 5 years and never had a problem. I have never been one to buy parts just by the name on the box.. Maintenance is the key to survival of your quad. I'm not paying $20-$30 more just for a name..

wiesco pro lite is the best !

it isn't the name when the part is made different and better than others.
wiseco makes the best piston out there for quads and bikes without a doubt.

Hallo, I write you from Italy.
Please, what is the correct tolerance between (wiseco +0,40) piston and the cylinder?
Thanks in advance.

 

[sheeblast]

i think you mean +0,040" not +0,40".
but if i remember correctly, it should be on the box and i think it is 0,005". if i am wrong someone correct me.

and before people bash the guy, other countries us a comma (,) instead of a period (.) like i did.
