I have never slated woosner pistons ,yes i have had my own shape of piston made by wossner that was for other reasons,but over the years i have had many different shapes made by omega , cosworth ,wossner ,dp, and JE.
dp pistons I had wrist pins break in the middle and they would doing nothing ,so if i were to slag a piston maker it would be Dp.
i have had JE pistons where they did not make them with specified clearance I aked for which caused problems ,but you don,t see me slagging them on the forums .
I can safely say i have detroyed probably every make of piston ever made for a saxo at some point and the differences bewtween them is not that much to make the difference to reliability when fitted with correctly gapped rings
there is no piston maker that will supplypistons you rings perfectly gapped -ready to drop in the bore-its impossible as bores will be diferent due to age and usage,you must check and make them correct
If i were to pick a "best " piston maker it would be Omega ,but their long delvery times and needing to but 10sets to get a good price is what made me stop stocking omega and move over to wossner .
but if you want omega we can still supply
the saxo engine market is a budget sensitve market and as such wossner fit in there well.
