Product Description
FAST, DAMAGE-FREE DURAMAX PISTON INSTALLS. The ARP 900-0550 tapered piston ring compressor is CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized for long life. Sized precisely for a 4.055" bore, it streamlines assembly on 2001–2016 GM 6.6L Duramax (LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM/LML) and any engine built to a true 4.055" cylinder. The taper guides the piston smoothly while compressing rings evenly to protect ring lands and coatings.
