If you are going to use wiseco then .006 is probably ok. I personally don't like them in 2 strokes because they are forged and expand more than a cast piston. I used to typically set mine up (cast piston) around .004. Since you have a top end failure you would be wise to disassemble the cases also. Check the crank, replace the crank seals (with a a new top end, your motor has increased crankcase pressure and vacuum and old crank seals will leak and cause another top end failure. Cheap insurance IMO

thanks for that information i have already split the cases and checked out the bottom end and have new bearings and seals to put in once i get all the parts,have you had touble with wiseco pistons before bduncan as i have heard of them nipping up due to different expansion rates as compared to cast but have never had it happen on any of the bikes i have rebuilt
