Wiseco pistons - love 'em or hate 'em? And why?

[Revenge22]

what are your thoughts on Wiseco's for the V4 crossflow motors? they make up to .060'' over i believe, so might be the only way to go unless you want to shell out $350 for each sleeve.

Find a different block.

[Dave S]

Yes.......no need to go 60 over other than a motor thats RARE.....even then....too many problems.

[Revenge22]

Interesting they still sell em', was just curios. I'll stick with the Pro-marine no larger than .040'' methinks. whats the issue with such a large overbore? exacerbates the "lost rings" issues?

I like the flip side of that album.

I never knew there was anything on the other side ...

I do know my mom hated side one ...

.060 is just a startin point ... I kinda like the quarter inch over's myself ...

My big brother was having a backyard party......I was young and liked early 60s music......For the first time......Iron butterfly.....WOW.

Any benefit to heat cycle the new piston in my oven a few times before I install it? If so, what temp and how long?

[Dave S]

Put a Turkee in with the pistons..... at the best you will have a good meal. Heat cycle has to do whit getting block/ pistons to heat size.....normalizing clearances....on running motor.

Gotcha, I didn't know if there could be some benefit to cycling them to 450 or so. There's a lot to be said for heat treating materials but that usually involves getting them up into their transformational temps.
