Product Description
Stronger, cooler, cleaner combustion for your 12-valve build. Industrial Injection's Coated & Chamfered (.020 over) piston set is engineered for high cylinder pressure and heat. Each set includes pistons, rings, wrist pins, and clips for a true drop-in kit after machining the block to .020.

FAQ
Are these pistons a direct “drop-in?The kit includes rings, pins, and clips. Your block must be bored/honed to .020 over and measured for correct clearances.
What coatings are used on the CC pistons?They feature a thermal barrier crown coating to manage heat and a skirt coating to reduce friction/scuffing in high-load use.
Do I need valve reliefs for my cam?With higher-than-stock lift or tight timing, fly-cutting (.100) is recommended to ensure piston-to-valve clearance.
Which head gasket set should I pair with these?Use MAHLE HS4068 (upper set) for the 12-valve top end and CS4068 (lower set) for the bottom end.
