Are namura pistons any good I got an 80 over set from them and it looks ok but I have never heard of them before

Namura pistons are absolutely fine. Pistons do not normally fail on their own or from manufacturing defects.
Wiseco provides a higher compression and higher quality to last for like 3 or 4 years if theirs not air leaks and its well taken care of but people say you get what you pay for...
AN WISECO IS WORTH IT...
not with the compression part but i agree somewhat with this

lol if your into making a faster blaster this is Bigtime BS like 100 times over. iv cracked, broke, damaged and exploaded cast pistons which i think is what namura are. ive also damaged them on the exhaust side which is more stronger then the intake side which WILL brake.
id have to say i have a wisco in my aircooled blaster and its about 2 years old and i bang that thing off the zinnger all day long they love the rpms theres a reason everyones hurd of wisco they are nice
So you blame the piston for your problem? Or is it the operator? cast pistons are absolutely fine,if you have 90 bucks to put into a piston by all means do so its your money but some people would rather only spend 50 or 60 bucks on a piston that will do the job just as good. 100 times bullshit??? cmon LOL
As far as cast pistons go I would use vertex if I had to. But I trail ride pretty hard and prefer Wiseco forged pro-lite pistons when you can get them for the full price of a cast one with gaskets and all.Namura pistons are absolutely fine.

hell yea that will ruin your day. In my experence though is air leaks and then the rings break off in my butt. Even though I'm super carefull, though I must say that was with a cast vertex piston though.I use cast pistons in my KTMs but they seem to be a stronger design.
I actually don't like the forged (Wiseco) in my KTM because you have to be more careful about warming up or you will "cold seize" the forged piston. Been there, done that, slid across the pavement for my impatience. They also seem to draw a bit of power in my opinion. Whether that is due to the clearances needed, or the friction co-efficient or something with the design, but cast works better in my KTM 125 and I have never cracked one.
The Blaster on the other hand, does not have a strong piston design. The windows weaken the skirt, and we have a huge collection of cracked and broken Blaster and DT200 pistons laying around the garage. If you are going to rev it, your are going to need a forged piston. Even the stock Yamaha piston is not a good idea.
Alternatively, you could just change the piston after so many hours. There are some real power advantages to running cast pistons, but a broken skirt will really ruin your day.
