Yet another 220 piston question involving gaskets

Post by parker72001 »

so this has been asked a lot but here goes.

I'm going to buy a 220 piston kit, I need the kit, the bearing and a cometic top end gasket set correct.

Just making sure, I don't want to put in two orders if I don't have to.

Thanks a lot guys. Hope this isn't an inconvenience.

You are correct:
Wiseco Piston Kit: $85
Bearing: $12
Cometic gasket: $27

I got the gaskets straight from Cometic.

'Another'...as in 'additional'...in addition to bradf's already stated point of view.

Not differing from, but in agreement with.


Gee....even when I'm agreeable I get into trouble... :shock:


Just because it's perfectly clear to ME (and maybe no one else) what I meant, I can see how it could've been read otherwise, so..thanks for asking! :wink:

Actually, 'another' point of view would generally mean 'differnt', 'eh? OK...so it's different in that it's all mine,not merely a parrot of what's already been said.

That's what I was asking

I thought you meant that there was another point of view as to what needs to be purchased for a top end. Isn't the internet a wonderful place as depending on ones state of mind when reading or posting, it can be read completely different by different people. Guess I need to learn how to use smileys :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

As I'm just beginning the bike upgrade process (RB carb mod, air screw, RB head mod, some new needle although I'm not sure on the DEK or the CEK, Gnarly Desert Pipe, KIPS cleaning and a piston replace since my 220 can blow up at anytime), I just want to make sure I'm getting all the right stuff. Thus the question.

I appreciate the help you and other have provided the last couple of years as motocycles are a new thing to me and this next season I want a little more bike.

Later -

Damn Mark.... your going all out!
Take it a little bit at a time so you don't miss the differences that the mods make. I almost went too fast too but on some of them I was already schooled in....

Mark - Your going to have a new bike when its all done. Should be impressive...If you still have the stock reeds toss in a set of 607 power reeds or a DF3 if you can spring for the $$$.
