Wiseco sizes
« on: October 15, 2007, 04:51:55 pm »
Not being a wiseco man could someone enlighten me as to the sizing. Would I be assuming correctly if I figured 20thou over (P2) would be 0.50mm, 40thou (P4) 1mm over, 60thou (P6) 1.50mm and P8 or 80thou would be 2mm  ???

Could someone confirm if my assumptions are correct? Thanks

I have sent you an email to their site             poxy security settings will not allow me to down load the file      ah humbug

hmmm.. :-\ I couldn't find the specific details I require on the Serco site oldfart. Not to worry, I'm hoping my math is still okay cause I work it out to about 20thou =  0.508mm so a P6 kit would be 1.524mm over :P math was never one of my strong points  ::)

If you had two pistons for the same engine, and one was 0.040" oversize, and the other was 1.00mm oversize, I'd bet that they were the exact same size (allowing for manufacturing tolerances, of course).



The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Nice pickup Doc. I wish I'd seen that, although these days I force myself to stay away from TM searches on eBay, otherwise I'll be the owner of a $10,000 TM in no time. Mind you there seems no shortage of CR pistons, I have bought several of these recently for very reasonable prices.

don't you mean the owner of a second $10000 TM Graeme :P :D

I do normally keep an eye on TM/TS/CR piston and more often than not I'll put a token bid on if it's a lower start price and let it run. Normally these items end up in my 'Items Not Won' folder which I clear regularly (just so I don't get emotional about the things I really wanted but missed out on :'( ) but..much to my delight when I checked back on this item it wasn't where I thought it would be. more arse than class  ;)
