BansheeCrasher Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hey - I just pulled my top end apart to diagnose a coolant problem and it turns out that it is time for new pistons. I already have .50 over (like that when I bought it) and since there apparently are no pistons larger than .50, what are my options? Do I just buy new cylinder jugs and start over or can I do something else? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilladude Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Wiseco makes pistons upto 2.5mm over & Pro-X pistons are upto 2.00 mm. You still have many rebuilds left on those cylinders. Stock pistons stop at .50mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I am almost sure that you can keep going until 100 over. I agree that you have quite a few rebuilds left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Yessir. Wiseco, and other manufacturers make pistons oversize to fit your application. I would go up to .060" over, (if that will clean up any scoring that may be in the walls) and put new pistons, rings, and upper rod bearings in there.... Good as new.... Take the cylinders to a machine shop, and let them tell you if another .010" out of them will clean them up...... If so, .060" is the answer.....

SICK BOY Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yup,you can bore to .100 over.Vito's got piston kits in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Smoker Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Who told you that you couldn't get any larger pistons? The stealership? If it was I'd stop going to them and find someone who knows what they're talking about. Go with some wiseco's and get the kit it comes with a complete top end kit. Get it ported while you have those cylinders off too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
