I have a new in the box Wiseco 820 "9" port piston with rings. My questions are: 1. Where can I get a wristpin for one of these? 2. What is involved in "9" porting of one of these engines and who does it? I am fairly new to these and trying to get parts to get one done so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

If memory is correct, these used the shorter 610 wrist pin. Dave does a perfect job on the rear ports.

I recall quite some time back seeing on ebay some oversize pistons for the US820 but i thought all 820's were chrome bored were there non chrome bore models ? Did they have steel liners ?
