More about Pistons

Pistons take a beating at high combustion temperatures and increased power. Forged pistons are often chosen for turbo builds or highly tuned engines.

Pay attention to bore, compression ratio, piston rings, pin size, and the combination with connecting rods and cylinder head. A set of pistons must match the power output and how the engine will be used.

When building an engine, measuring and having parts inspected is more important than just ordering parts.
