FAQ
Are these pistons drop-in?They include rings, pins, and clips, but require a .020" overbore and precision measurements for correct clearance.
Do I need the .100” valve relief option?Yes if you’re running a high-lift cam or tight piston-to-valve clearance. Otherwise standard pistons work fine.
What coatings are applied?A thermal barrier crown coating protects from heat, while the skirt coating reduces friction and wear.
What supporting mods are recommended?Head studs, proper gaskets, upgraded fuel system, and for LML trucks, a CP3 conversion kit.
