FAQ
Is this a complete piston set?Yes. You receive six pistons with matched rings, pins, and clips—ready for your machine shop to finish and assemble.
Do I need machine work for .040 over?Yes. A precise .040" overbore and plateau hone are required to achieve proper clearances and sealing.
Will these fit High-Output (HO) 2001–2002 trucks?These are stock-style 24V pistons for 98.5–02 ISB. HO manuals may use HO-specific pistons; see the HO cross-reference listed above and match by VIN/ESN.
What supporting parts do you recommend?New head gaskets/upper set, fresh head bolts or ARP studs, and inspection/replacement of cooling and oiling components. See the Recommended Parts links above.
