CP Piston Bullet Race Series Small Block Chevy -16.2CC 4.030 Bore 3.750 Stroke 6.000 Rod Set Of 8

CP Pistons is well-known for making high-performance internal engine components, and this Bullet Race Series piston set is a prime example of their work for Small Block Chevy engines. If you're building a serious performance engine, these pistons are designed to handle the demands of racing and high-horsepower applications. They feature a -16.2cc dish volume, which is important for setting your compression ratio, and come in a 4.030 inch bore size, ready for a 3.750 inch stroke with a 6.000 inch rod length. This set includes eight pistons, giving you everything you need to outfit your V8.

These pistons are forged, meaning they start as a solid block of aluminum that's heated and then hammered into shape under immense pressure. This process creates a much stronger and more durable piston than cast aluminum, making them ideal for engines that will see high RPMs, boost, or nitrous. The Bullet Race Series is built for durability and performance, ensuring your engine can withstand the rigors of competition or aggressive street use. The specific dish volume and dimensions are critical for achieving your target compression and ensuring proper piston-to-valve clearance, so precise machining is key.

When installing these pistons, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended clearances and lubrication procedures. Because these are performance parts, they are often paired with high-performance connecting rods and crankshafts to build a complete rotating assembly. Remember that this piston set is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your engine builder or the manufacturer's detailed installation guide for specific requirements and best practices.
