As long as you have not done any rad porting to the transfers in the barrel  OEM is good or NOS Wiseco (forged) in the orange and white box or AL B's Wiseco  will work. Stay away from any blue box Wiseco with a PS cast on the under side of the dome.

Larry,

to understand this correctly :
as long as the porting is stock "D" the same piston for a "B" will work ??

please confirm this,

thank you,

Why "stay away from the blue box Wiseco with PS stamped under the dome"??

Those are the pistons that gave Wiseco the "Seizeco" name. I think the aluminum had too much heat expansion and would cold seize very easily.
