I just bought a brand new piston and my measurement tool is lost. However these look fine to me. I haven’t filed them down or anything. These are straight from wiseco.
The other day I sent in my cylinder and head to get replaced/sleeved and the head to be smoothened down. I bought a new wiseco piston to go with it as well. I got everything back and the bike was ready to go.
I assembled the top end and started it for the first time. It ran beautifully for 1 minute and then I shut her off. When I came back after dinner to actually go for a ride, when I kicked it over I realized there was less compression to kick it over now. So I opened her up hoping for a faulty gasket, instead I saw that my head and piston smashed a piece of metal hundreds of times.
I double checked the rings where the right side before installing and the head was clean. Before inserting. Everything looked amazing and I even wiped it clean of any debris before inserting.
Why would this happen? I just lost $700 getting everything fixed. Now I’d have to do it again pretty much. Can I complain to the company or am I just fully out of luck.
I recently sent out my head and cylinder to be repaired. I asked for the head to be smoothened out and for the cylinder to be replated. The cylinder looks great but I see they didn’t do anything to the head. Would this be okay to slap into the 2stroke? Or will this be an issue?
They cleaned up the head to look new but other than that they didn’t touch the head. If you look at picture 2. It will looks like it has the piece of piston that broke off and ruined it.
If this would be an issue can I sand it down myself?
