Wiseco bottom end kit?

[BustedassYZ]

Anyone ever use it? Ive never run a wiseco bottom end, Ive heard mixed reviews about them, and after seeing video this I'm not so sure. It seems to cheap for everything, and you always get what you pay for. Any Input?

That dude in the vid rules! I've been cautioning people about this kind of stuff for years. When you ship a crank to a guy with bench centers, it better be right. I don't buy cranks from Wiseco. I buy the rods and assemble the crank at the shop. We've seen this type of work drop off to almost nothing since these cranks have become so readily available. The crank in the vid was definitely assembled wrong by Wiseco. The first thing I thought was that the customer could have dropped the crank. Not the case. You can tell by watching the indicators when he rotates the crank. One of them is going up while the other is going down. This is always an alignment problem. Many of the Honda cranks use a sheet metal cover over the cast counter weights. This makes them lighter and helps to stuff the crankcase. If the sheet metal stamping os off by .030..............this could be a huge problem in Wisecos tooling and production process.

sounds like ron at wiseco will be walkin funny for a while, cause he just politely got "tore a new ahole"

might not be able to read it but the piston box says made in usa, and the crankshaft box says made in china. i wish i would of known that before i ordered it off of ebay and installed it. next time i have to take it out i will be taking it to the shop and make sure it is trued. unless i get some v blocks. already have a dial indicator.

i have a wiseco in mine......guess we'll see how it holds up

I think I'm gonna get mine rebuilt then. Its gonna cost me $150 more that way, but I don't wanna have my new engine die again because of crappy parts.

really sucks because Wiseco is such a good piston producer, you would think that they would carry quality control into the rest of the company
