CP Piston BRS Ford SB 5.4L 2V Bore 3.572 Ch 1.320 Stroke 4.165 Rod 6.657 Set Of 8 (MTO Non-Cancel)

CP Pistons is well-known for making strong internal engine components, and this set of forged pistons for the Ford 5.4L 2-valve Small Block engine is a prime example. If you're building a high-performance engine or rebuilding a tired one with upgraded internals, these pistons are built to handle the demands of boosted or naturally aspirated power. They are designed to fit the 5.4L 2V engine and come in a set of eight, ready for your build.

These pistons are forged from a strong aluminum alloy, which is a standard practice for performance pistons because it offers a better strength-to-weight ratio compared to cast pistons. This means they can withstand higher cylinder pressures and temperatures without deforming or failing. The bore size is 3.572 inches, and these are 0.020 inch undersize, meaning they are intended for a cylinder bore that has been honed to match this specific size. The compression height is 1.320 inches, the stroke is 4.165 inches, and the rod length is 6.657 inches, all critical dimensions for proper engine geometry and performance tuning. This set is made to order and cannot be canceled once placed.

When installing these pistons, ensure your machine shop has honed the cylinders to the exact 0.020 inch undersize specification for a proper piston-to-wall clearance. This clearance is crucial for allowing the piston to expand with heat and move freely without binding, which is essential for engine longevity and performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for precise details on ring gap, bearing clearances, and assembly procedures.
