Folks I'll be ordering some pistons this week and am looking to pass on some savings to anyone on the fence about ordering. Costs have gone way up over the past couple of years so don't go into shock about the pricing. This is the best I can do based on a volume purchase cost for custom pistons.
Features:
- + .030"
- Effective quench pads
- Oversize valve reliefs
- Extra thick crowns
- Anti-detonation grooves
- Lowered top piston ring
- Lightweight slipper skirts
- Additional machining on the undersides to reduce weight where it is not needed
- Pressure balance groove
- Dual pin oiling
- Lightweight ring package
- Stainless top ring with chrome nitride face
- Lower tension oil rings
- Offset pin location for quiet operation and reduced wear
- Lightweight 2618 forgings with Wiseco's proprietary barrel design which allows for tighter clearances (as low as .004")
Options:
- Any compression ratio you want
- Any compression distance you want (custom rod lengths available)
- Any pin diameter you need
- Lightweight tool steel wrist pins ($100 additional)
- Gold ceramic top and moly graphite skirt coating ($250 additional)
- 6.200 H-beam connecting rods ($250 for off brand, $300 for SCAT)
Cost is $675 for the pistons, pins and rings. Production time is about 6 weeks. Please let me know this week to get in on this order.
Nickleman,
Aside from the lighter psitons, long rod motors keep the piston up in the flame front longer during combustion. This is supposed to improve hp and torque even more so. Also brings down the rpm's the engine will rev to.

correctomundo, it allows the piston to dwell longer at TDC and also improves the rod angle. adding a longer rod will make more power and add reliability(with appropriate tune ofcourse)
just make sure the wrist pin isn't into the oil ring, thing start to get a little dicey at that point
Effective quench pads
Does anyone have Dave's number? He ordered my pistons based on a 73 cc chamber due to the unshrouding I did in the chambers but they actually cc'd at considerably smaller. He has not responded to emails and his pm box is full.
Karl,
Thanks that is where I was emailing him and he has responded on a daily or semi daily basis up until yesterday. This is important as the shape of the pistons drastically changes from nearly a flat top to something with a considerable dish. I just need Dave to acknowledge that he has confirmed this with Wiseco along with the change to the ring pack. Dave buddy you out there?
Holy shiet! How did you know that???? I was and I'm installing your pistons tomorrow. BTW, plenty of thrust clearance on this one.He's probably torquing my main caps. Leave the guy alone.
