Rotax Raptor Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 See if you have any small pieces metal in the pits of pistons. Check them with a magnet. If you have a crank bearing coming apart metal can come up through the transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul76 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Ok I will. I let a small engine shop do the work not me. I will be doing it myself this time ate you saying no silicon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 No silicone just use a quality gasket. Check out the leak down test thread on here and plan on doing one after you get it together before you run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul76 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Is the gasket I got with my wiseco pistons good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Is the gasket I got with my wiseco pistons good enough? OEM gaskets I find are the best, but the weisco one will do if you don't have time to go to the stealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave5.0 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Is the factory one a metal composite? That's what I've went to. Athena makes a decent kit with one. Or most of the site sponsors have the composite rubberish ones. I've had good luck with those after having the paper crap out on me a few times.
