FAQ

What does “.040 / 1.00 mm oversize” mean?
It indicates the piston is sized for a cylinder that’s been bored 0.040" (≈1.00 mm) over stock to clean up wear or damage. Machine the block accordingly and confirm clearances during assembly.
Is this kit for Standard Output or High Output engines?
This listing is for Standard Output (SO) 24-valve ISB engines used from 1998.5–2002. HO variants (2001.5–2002 NV5600) may require different piston specs. Verify by ESN before ordering.
What’s included in one “piston kit”?
One cylinder’s components: piston, ring set, wrist pin, and pin retainers. Order six (6) to service a full engine.
Do I need special rings for .040 over?
The included ring set matches the .040 oversize. If buying rings separately, select a .040 / 1.00 mm set for your application.
