Quality Performance


Quality is hard to find...

Quality is hard to find. We understand that. It's no surprise anymore to be in a retail shop, finally find what you're looking for after looking for hours, only to find out that the store doesn't carry it in your size. Not only that, but the clerk behind the Customer Service counter may not focused on you, but rather acting like he hates his job. It's difficult to find quality products, quality results, quality support, and quality customer service.

We've got it!

We asked our customers on facebook why they choose Wiseco Pistons above other brands, and the #1 response involved Quality. Wiseco products are designed to withstand high heat and pressure, and are built to ride hard. At Wiseco, we back up our quality products with top-notch customer service and outstanding support, allowing you to perform optimally. Quality products = Quality performance!


Tip of the Month

Which way does the arrow go on my Wiseco Powersports piston?


You will find this arrow marking on the dome of nearly every Wiseco piston made. The arrow is to help you install the piston facing the correct direction in the engine, pointing towards the exhaust side.

For your two cycle piston this direction is critical, as the ring locating pins are arranged so that the ring ends do not pass a port opening, potentially snagging the ring and causing catastrophic failure.  

Four cycle pistons require that the arrow also face the exhaust side of the engine. Much like a two stroke piston, the orientation of the piston is critical. The valve pocket cuts machined into the piston crown are very specific for intake and exhaust sides. If a piston is installed backwards, for example, the valve can contact the piston crown, causing the valve to bend, and potentially break, which is also catastrophic for the engine.

As always, a little preparation is helpful and will ensure a well- working, longer lasting engine. Be observant, and read the Wiseco instruction forms before you install your piston.

Ride on!
