CP Piston Bullet Race Series Chevy 5.3L LS 5.3L 3.799 Bore -13.1CC Set Of 8

CP Pistons Bullet Race Series forged pistons are built for Chevy 5.3L LS engines. This set of 8 pistons features a 3.799 inch bore and a -13.1cc dish, designed for high-performance applications where strength and reliability are paramount. If you're rebuilding the top end of your LS engine for racing or serious street use, these pistons offer a solid foundation for increased power and durability.

Crafted from well-built forged aluminum, these pistons are significantly stronger than cast pistons, allowing them to withstand the higher cylinder pressures and temperatures associated with performance engine builds. The -13.1cc dish volume is a key specification that affects your engine's compression ratio when paired with specific cylinder heads and head gasket thickness. This particular dish volume is often chosen to achieve a desired compression ratio for naturally aspirated or forced induction setups, providing a good balance between power and drivability. The 3.799 inch bore size is a common upgrade for 5.3L LS engines, often used in conjunction with a stroker crankshaft to increase displacement.

This set includes all eight pistons needed for a complete engine rebuild. It's important to note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and longevity, always consult with your engine builder or refer to CP Pistons' technical documentation for recommended clearances, ring gap settings, and installation procedures. Proper installation is critical for achieving the intended performance and durability from these race-series components.
