Has anyone heard of WSM gaskets & pistons?

[maineboat]

Hi EZ,

I'm fairly new to iboats, and am impressed with the amount of infromation available!! I have a 1986 SS160 that I will be doing a 'minor' restoration on. The exterior needs little or no work; no dents, no dings etc. The motor, however is a different story. It is a 1986 70 hp Johnson, VRO. It has one scored cylinder, so at least will need one bored out. I am leaning toward a total rebuild. I have rebuilt several automotive engines, and a few years ago a Mercruiser 120, all with great success. I am really looking forward to doing this one!!

My question is, has anyone ever heard of WSM gaskets & pistons? There is a seller on e-Bay (premiermarineparts) that has complete kits at a very resonable cost, but I am not as familiar with that brand as say, Sierra Felpro or GLM. The seller claims 100+ rebuilds over the last 19 years or so. Anyone have an opinion?

Thanks for your knowledge and input.

I have used WSM parts for some time and always their Platinum grade pistons. Never had a problem. I can recommend them.

WSM supply's a lot of pistons to aftermarket suppliers that are relabeled as their brand ,Mallory,Redline and Red Rhino are just a few. There are also several sellers on Ebay that sell that kit besides myself. I offer the kit with any size piston so you can mix and match.
