[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 472780, member: 16552"] Most anecdotal info has stock 220 pistons ok except for quite modified/ridden-hard bikes. Didn't know if you'd heard the problems with oem 220 pistons or not...and now would be the time to change it! Most 'bad wiseco stories' seem to originate with improper piston/cylinder clearance. The wiseco is a forged piston..therefore has kind of a 'grain' to the metal, so it expands differently than a cast piston. Think of it as a comparison between a real wood 2X4 and a piece of versa-lam. But, you're not worrying about piston 'fit' cuz you aren't honing (or boring) a cylinder to fit a particular piston. The nicosel plated cylinder eliminates that variable. If you used an oem pistion, hope you got a 'C' piston for a 'C' motor. Or whatever it's supposed to be. My 'vote': dry head AND base. Everything has to be spotlessly clean. Use something nasty like lacquer thinner or 99% alcohol to wipe it clean when your done removing old gasket material. mstone: difference in scale verity. ...ha! good humor!! BTW...a 72# salmon caught recently on the rogue. ...on a FLY! Yes, it is a record. [/QUOTE]
