Title: piston for the k5
Post by: KRNNMICRP on May 17, 2006, 04:04:31 PM

just got done reading the top end rebuild guide and have a few ques. 1)would it be ok to use a wiseco pro lite? you can get everthing you need incl. gasket kit from rocky mtn. for 140.00    2)does the cyl. lettering a,b,c,exc. matter when ordering the wiseco piston because they dont ask that quest. just bore size and year.   thanks  cory

The pro-lite is just a light weight piston. Should make the engine rev out quicker. You may want to measure your bore. Go to Wiseco web-site for more info reguarding the letters. From a-c the piston gets bigger. From a,b,c the piston gets bigger by .5mm. In some case you can tighten things up by going with a different letter piston if the bore is on the high side of the servcie limit.
