theeechozen1 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Down to 110 on left side and 120 on the right side, time for some pistons. I have always been a Wiesco Pro Lite kind of guy, any suggestions as to what to run. this is my first time rebuilding the shee so any info would be awsome. I've seen people saying the vito kits can give ya some more ballz, but not really any claims on the wiesco kits boosting power. So I'm not really sure whats the best kit to buy. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svtkid78 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 If you don't have any port work done, then just go with the pro-lites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDriver Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 just ordered a set of Vitos forged pistons today in .040 over that supposedly boost lowend and mid by +6hp. Vitos are supposedly just Wiseco pistons made to Vito specs, whatever that may be. i ve heard good about them not really much bad though, but theres 2 sides to every story as you know.

Make sure you order a gasket kit, order some engine ice also (gooooood stuff), get you a clymer (I'm sure you have one), lube up everything as you put it together (don't want to kick it over dry), and for the break in just go like this: First ride: 15mins. 25% of power, 15-20 cool down (I set a box fan on the radiator) 2nd: 15min. 50% of power, cool down 3rd: 15mins. 75% of power, cool down ride again at about 75% occasionally gunning it for a couple seconds and let it cool down. 5th: 15mins. 100% of power and cool down... then your good to go. (that's off of duncan racing website) Don't hold steady rpm during break in and if the engine is running you want air flowing through the radiator.

BenBB Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Damn theechozen1, already? You must be riding the dog snot outta that thing when you're home! I vote for Wisecos, and while you have the head off take it to a machine shop and have them deck off 0.030" (or see if boonman is still shaving 'em). You DON'T want to shave the head if you go with Vito's pistons, as the crown is higher and you risk interference (or say if you plan on doing a coolhead with smaller domes-same thing). Along with all the good stuf txblue said, make SURE to double check the ring end gap. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeechozen1 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 sand mountain is a cool DUNE, But coming from a place where I go to Glamis 4 or 5 times a year......sand mountain is just that ....A DUNE. But it will make for some fun I'm sure. I also saw some dunes about 2 hours past Vegas on the left side of the HWY, Anyone know what these are called??
