After nearly 70 years in the business, the name Wiseco has become synonymous with pistons, especially pistons for off-road racing and riding. Wiseco has attained that instant brand recognition by being one of the few manufacturers of forged pistons within the USA.

Details of these specific pistons are as follows:

The asymmetrical piston design has a significant advantage over traditional round designs, including reduced skirt width on the minor thrust side to help minimize piston contact with the cylinder wall, which causes friction and power loss; a shorter wristpin that reduces overall weight; internal/external bracing to provide more rigid construction; and most importantly, a significant weight reduction due to a combination of all three previously mentioned. A quick weight comparison between a Mitsubishi 4G63 traditional round piston and asymmetrical (both weighed with wristpins) showed a difference of 15 grams per piston, which is a huge deal in the performance world.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL Wiseco pistons are now supplied as Wiseco AP

What is Wiseco ArmorPlating coating?
High performance coating is applied to the piston crown, ring grooves, and piston pin bore. The coating on the dome helps protect the piston from the damage caused by detonation, and will actually harden over time from the heat caused by combustion. This coating is also applied to the ring groove, and helps eliminate micro-welding of the ring, and improve wear of the ring groove along with improving ring seal. The coating in the piston pin bore improves wear, reduces friction, and eliminates material deformation of the locking groove.
