CP Piston Bullet Race Series Chevy 358Ci Ascs 4.135 Bore 1.335 Ch 14CC Dome - Set Of 8

These are CP Pistons Bullet Race Series pistons, designed for Chevy 358ci applications. They feature a 4.135-inch bore and a 1.335-inch compression height, with a 14cc dome volume. This set includes eight pistons, intended for a high-performance engine build where strength and reliability are paramount. CP Pistons is well-known for producing robust internal engine components for demanding builds.

Forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, these pistons are built to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures found in racing or heavily modified street engines. The 14cc dome volume is designed to work with specific cylinder head combustion chamber volumes to achieve a desired compression ratio, typically for naturally aspirated or forced induction setups aiming for significant power gains. The 1.335-inch compression height is critical for proper piston-to-valve clearance and deck height, ensuring the piston crown sits correctly in the cylinder bore relative to the crankshaft throw. This set is specifically sized at 0.010 inches undersize, meaning they are intended for an engine block that has been bored out by 0.010 inches to match the piston size.

When installing these pistons, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended clearances and lubrication procedures. Proper ring gap setting and piston orientation are crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Because these are performance racing pistons, they are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult the detailed installation instructions provided by CP Pistons for specific guidance on your build.
