platinumjason Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yeah thats what I did. I just saw them on ebay while I was looking for a new top end a thought I would ask if anyone had any experience. Look like good pistons but I dont wanna be the one to find out wether they're good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 From what Ive hear they arent very good pistons, seem everyone that has had problems with them the piston has broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTMAN350 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Stick with wiseco's. They are tired, true, and tested. I have heard form others that those pistons are junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 You can put that grey coating on a set of wisco pistons your self. I did these while I had them out of my banshee. The top is also a heat reflective coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 why would u do that?? as far as im concerned you just added some thickness to your piston skirt... 516345[/snapback] There isnt that much tickness added. It is sprayed on with an air brush. One ultra fine coat. Like a film of oil. Most calipers probably are not accurate enough to measure the thickness of the coating. I put it on there because it is an oil retaining coating. Helps hold the oil to the piston skirts. Here is what tech line has to say about the clearances. Techline coatings FAQ Webpage WHAT ABOUT CLEARANCES? The dry film lubricants will burnish as they run until they are no longer visible. They are applied at thicknesses ranging from .0005" to .0015". However, before assembly the coating may be burnished back to less than .0002" with gentle buffing using "Scotch-bright" or similar material.NO CHANGES need to be made in clearances due to the use of these coatings, though in many instances because of the reduced part temperature and increased lubrication tighter clearances may be run.
