Wiseco piston question

Post by ted johnson » Tue Nov 06, 2018 11:29 am

Does anyone remember how the Wiseco West Bend 610 pistons were pinned for ring anti-rotation? Side or through the crown? I don't want to take it apart to find out. Thanks. Ted

Teddy,

Ebay has bore scopes dirt cheap, like $7.00. Peek through the plug hole or remove the exhaust and see what you have.

Thanks, Bud! I've been thinkin' about getting one, anyhow. Engine doesn't really need rings, anyway. Plenty of compression.
Wishing you could have been here to catch Tucson Play Days. It was a lot of fun. Food was very good, too. :) Ted
