Hello, John Talley here with Partzilla.com.
Today I want to introduce you to a brand that you probably already know but you didn't know
that we actually carry at partzilla.com, and that's going to be Wiseco.
Now this was actually started by a man named Clyde Wiseman.
He started making pistons for himself and his friends in 1940, and eventually turned
it into a company called Wiseco in 1941.
Since then, their focus has primarily been on making forged pistons, but over the years
they've gone further than that.
They've actually developed their own clutch baskets, they sourced their own crank shafts,
and they can get you covered whether it just be a single piston for an older machine, racing
slugs, all the way up to complete rebuild kits if you're having to do some serious motor
work to your atv side-by-side or motorcycle.
They do all of their manufacturing, engineering, testing—you name it-- in-house.
What are some of the reasons that you would want to go with Wiseco versus OEM?
Let's do a couple of what-ifs.
What if you have one of the new Honda 2020 CRF450R sitting in your garage?
Well, what can Wiseco really bring to such a high performance machine?
Well if your talent is up to it, they actually have what they call the Elite Series of pistons.
These Pistons are developed to increase your compression ratio.
They're a little bit lighter, a little bit stronger, and they're going to give you that
higher compression ratio to where you can get the most out of your machine.
So not everybody is a professional racer nor do they really demand that much out of their
machine.
A lot of us are just weekend warriors.
In this case, we've got a 2005 CRF450R.
Still a valid machine, but it's got enough time and enough age on it, well, to where
it probably needs an entire engine rebuild.
In that case you can get what they call the Garage Buddy.
That's gonna have everything all the way down to the crankshaft all the way up to your top
end with all the gaskets, seals, and bearings necessary to bring this warhorse back to life.
So let's take one more step back in the Wayback Machine.
You're working on a 1979 YZ250.
Guess what?
Yamaha no longer makes a piston for that.
Wiseco's got you covered.
They have an extensive line especially toward the older two-strokes.
Well there you have it.
No matter if you're doing an old restoration, keeping an older bike running, or demanding
the most out of the latest and greatest, Wiseco has a product to help it run at its best.
Another advantage of the Wiseco product is they actually put them together in kits, that
way you don't have to go through every single diagram trying to figure out all the different
pieces that you're gonna need to get your machine put back together.
Even on their most basic piston kits you get the piston, the rings, the circlips, as well
as the wrist pin all in one box and ready to go.
I've been installing and using the Wiseco product for basically the last forty years--
my entire career.
It has always been my go-to when the other products just didn't fit the bill completely.
You can tell the build quality just by handling it, looking at it, it is some impressive equipment.
You can just see the amount of time and engineering that they put into every single design out
there and you really feel the difference when you install it in your machine and then take
it out on the road, trail or track.
It will be apparent just how good this stuff is.
Now I know I just gave you a whole lot of information and it can be a lot to wade through.
So if you're having difficulty determining which Wiseco product is gonna fit best for
your application, give us a call.
That's what we're here for.
If we can't answer immediately, we will do the research and get back to you so you get
what you need for your particular machine.
Listen, we just want to say thank you for shopping here with us at Partzilla.com, and
if you have any questions or comments just leave them the section below and I'll do my
best to answer them.
Until next time we want to say thanks and we will see you in the next video.
