I chose JE 10-1's . they have been good absolutely no oil consumption

JE over Wiseco, but the stock piston and rings are very good.

I believe that the Wisco pistons are good for no boosted engines because they are light but under high cylinder pressures the Wisco skirts have a habit of colapsing. For boost aplications,I prefer the JE pistons because they will stand up to the presures much better. I have both available on are web site as well as rods,blocks etc.l

CP Pistons have held up and performed better than any other pistons we've used so far in atvs. See if they have what you're looking for. Marc.

Hummmmmm, so should I be going with JE pistons then on mine or should I have just bought stock ones and went with head shim or went with JE? Sounds like Wiseco pistons are not the #1 choice for boost. Call me Jim.

WIESCO does not make stock compression (11.8:1)pistons , stock bore ,

only 13:1 , 10:1 or 12:1 only in 1025cc overbore!

JE does not make a stock compression piston either !

What did you set the ring end gaps to on your Wiseco pistons?

Thanks for selling me those Wiseco's. Thanks also telling me everything was brand new, then finding that one set of rings were already filed off, and giving me a seized wristpin.
