If so, can you measure the compression pressure of one cylinder on your hot motor (1) with the throttle closed and then (2) with the throttle wide open?
Thanks in advance if you can.

07. | Does my outboard engine require any special piston adjustments or break-in when I use a Wiseco piston? |
A. | Outboard engines are very unique, in that the cooling system uses cold water from the lake or ocean. Because of this, the engine cylinder runs very cool as compared to many other engine types, and the piston does require more clearance to operate properly. Your Wiseco piston does have this additional clearance built into the design, and it is always best to follow the proper break in process. This is an extended process of heat cycling of the engine, and will ensure an extended piston life when followed. Refer to your OEM service manual for the proper break in for your engine, or you can also refer to our Marine catalog for general guidelines |
