vertex to pro-x

glen, the area beside the wrist pin is the trouble, i left my blackbook at the shop, but the vertex is wider at the cutout than the pro-x(which is narrower than stock!) wiseco had made a piston that was narrow, the old 554 and some early 636 versions that had fore-aft cuts, but later made the wide exhaust that almost went to the pinhole before they went full round.

The prox issue is that there is a clear window from the reed area, beside the pin, and out the corners of even a stock exhaust port, some worse than others.

???? ask the engineers, even ask honda?? Eric Gore wrote a book about it ??? I still use them all thats why a flow bench is so important !!!Glen

Is the Wiseco pictured there the new 871?

And does the Vertex come with the ex bridge holes as std?

That Vertex came that way I have never gotten one drilled before.

somebody will have returned that vertex, its not how they come factory


The wiseco pistons have changed from wiseco ALOT thru the years.
the old 554 was 371g - had large cut intake side and pin relief fore+aft
late 554 was 360g - had small cut intake side and pin relief fore+aft
early 636 was 374g - had large cut intake side and pin relief fore+aft (554 casting # on bottom)
mid 636 was 374g - had small cut intake side and pin relief towards intake
last 636 was 431g - had small cut intake side and full round

and now they have another that sounds to be like the early 636 with the large cut intake and pin relief fore+aft

I have a box full of these old wisecos, every different one i think, gotta look back at things every once in a while

Bob, See what I mean now that's pure know how ,He didn't have to go to 10 different forms to come up with the right info. ROOSTY you have my vote. Glen

i dont think i have that 554 listed that you have pictured
f'n wiseco flip floppin #s and specs

this is forged mahle 92.25mm. you can see how they went about making it light without having short circuit issues.




92.25 almost 1oz lighter than wiseco which is 3.25mm smaller




89mm wiseco boat anchor version

thats from a ktoom? same pin as honda? whats the pin height like in comparison?
i'm guessing you needed the spacer on the deck because you used a long cr rod in it, why not a short cr rod?

ya 20mm pins on both. honda is about 8mm down lower. never checked into the short rod so i dont know.

why the heck arent we using that piston?

i got no desire to do anything like that. maybe it would work if someone has free time to mess with it

long rod in short cases then shave the jug down alittle more ? hell i dont know
