I bought the oem because wiseco discontinued them for the 510. The price costed me 400$ for that piston assembly and it's too shiny to be cast.
Machined forging, flip it over and that's the way to really tell between cast and forged. Not a machined billet though.
Ah gotcha, thank you! For installment, can I throw in slight film of 2 stroke premix to lube the rings and pin or would that be too much and foul up the plug?
thats how you assemble a top end. i always use a light film over piston and cylinder surface on a new topend job.
wait a second, this is a fourstroke! no need for 2 stroke oil..just use a light film of whatever oil the engine is going to run.
most cam mfgs have a specific lube for cams, might want to invest in some if your going to b doing the valve train too
