FAQ
Do these pistons include rings and pins?Yes—this set ships with matched rings, wrist pins, and clips for a complete installation.
Is .040" over safe for a street/tow build?Yes. .040" is a common service overbore. Always verify cylinder wall thickness and finish with your machinist.
Should I add head studs on a stock-ish rebuild?Head studs improve clamping and gasket life, especially if towing or running added boost. They’re a smart upgrade while the head is off.
What if I only need one cylinder?Use a per-cylinder OE kit like Cummins 4089977 in .040" (linked above) to service a single hole and match the others.
