Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Wiseco, Wossner, or Pro X Or ???
big green:
So I wanted to post an update on this thread. As you all may or may not know Tom Morgan is in the process of rebuilding my k5 engine and during our original discussions he said he would be using a oem cast piston. I used a cast piston in my 87 k5 I used to have and had no issues at all but the engine outside of reeds and pipe was stock. I have used cast pistons in stock and modified snowmobile engines without issue as well. However just so you all don't think I was trying to be a over the top opinionated jerk or some kind of know it all I wanted to share with you my most recent conversation with Tom where he informed me that he will be using a wossner piston in my build in part due to the fact it won't be stock. He also stated that he generally prefers wiseco pistons in most of his performance builds but he prefers the wossner in a k5 due to a stronger skirt design. I hope I did not offend anyone or steer anyone in the wrong direction and still believe for most applications that a cast piston will serve you well but in the spirit of this friendly and informative forum I felt compelled to share this information with my k5 friends. Cheers!

I know that I didn't take any offense and likely most others did not either.
Sharing is what these forums are all about.
I'm glad to see that Tom is using Wossners in his K5 builds.
I follow some of his builds on Facebook and I know that he does good work.
But since he is using Wossners in his modded K5 builds he just moved up one notch on my list of top K5 builders :mrgreen:

nope...no offense taken here neither big green...there's just some of us that prefer Wossner over anything else....for me personally, it was due to bad experiences with other brands and their craftsmanship/quality.

Man I'm just offended that Tom put a wiseco in mine and you are getting wossner 😫
