well down to Ross Or Wiseco

[Mr Overkill]

Well down to the RP Ross pistons which are 425 without rings Or the wiseco from tu for 425 with rings



Are the ross that much better then the wisecos????? or just or just give chris the call and get those



thanks for any info on helping me get the right ones

Same question is on My mind. I wish they made some with a little more side skirt to minimize piston slap.

[Mr Overkill]

which on looney about the skirt

As I understand it, when the Wiseco's were custom made for TU, they had them increase the meat under the rings, to really reinforce the ring lands in the event of detonation.
That's my 2cents.

I have Ross Pistons because of various complaints about other piston manufactures. Of course they are still going into the car, but the point still stands.

chris is pretty much out of the wiseco's right now. he may still have .040 over.
i think im going wiseco, they have always made great pistons for my bikes and atv's.

They were custom WELL before they were handed off to TU

So are you saying that the information on that page is kind of outdated?

No, Chris could have specified additional changes to the pistons. They were not "copies" of stock to begin with.

They are both excellent pistons. If I had to choose, Id do Wiseco, they are a much lighter piston, but still very strong. If you want a little more side clearance, the Venolia is certainly looser, until it warms up.

LOL really.... you have practical experience in that. Mine weighed 443 grams each for a 2.2L. Not light.

[TRRBOJEEP]

The Ross pistons in my 2.5L weigh 461 grams each. I guess they're real porkers!

I chose Ross because they were easy to work with, and make a quality product. I'm sure others are equaly as good though. I'm happy with them.

[Mr Overkill]

thanks all for the info

Gonna call chris and order the set he put on hold for me.


Well looks like next week the shortblock will be looking like the way it SHOULD. without 7thousands clearences lololol

[2.2=8]

Hmm, My wiseco's weigh 433 grams, .030 over. I believe they are lighter than the other brands.......Warren
