What is the main benefit of a forged piston over a cast piston?

Forged pistons are made by shaping aluminum at high temperatures, which creates a stronger and more durable structure than cast pistons. This makes them better suited to handle the higher stresses and temperatures found in performance or rebuilt engines.

What does the 'top end gasket kit' include?

The included top-end gasket kit typically contains all the necessary seals and gaskets to reassemble the cylinder head and piston area after installation. This usually includes items like the head gasket, base gasket, and exhaust gasket, ensuring a proper seal.

Can this piston kit be shipped to California?

No, this Athena piston kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations.
