FAQ
Do these come with rings and pins?Yes - the set includes matched rings, wrist pins, and clips for each piston.
Will Marine big-bowl pistons change compression?Marine bowl geometry differs from small-bowl pistons and may affect effective compression & mixing. Match to your injector/nozzle plan and intended use.
Is a .040" overbore safe for a street/tow build?Yes, when performed by a qualified machine shop and assembled to spec. Always measure and set clearances to the piston manufacturer's guidelines.
What else should I replace during a piston job?We recommend new head gaskets/seals and upgraded head studs for improved clamping, plus a thorough inspection of bearings, oil squirters, and cooling nozzles.
