CP Piston Bullet Race Series Small Block Chevy -16.2CC 4.040 Bore 3.750 Stroke 6.000 Rod Set Of 8

This is a set of eight CP Pistons Bullet Race Series pistons specifically made for Small Block Chevrolet engines. These pistons are designed for high-performance applications, featuring a 4.040-inch bore and a 3.750-inch stroke, intended to be paired with a 6.000-inch connecting rod. Each piston has a -16.2cc dish volume, which is a key factor in determining your engine's compression ratio when combined with your cylinder heads and gasket thickness.

CP Pistons is known for building well-made components for racing and performance engines. These particular pistons are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, a common practice for race-grade components because it offers a better strength-to-weight ratio than cast pistons. This forging process creates a denser, more durable piston that can withstand the higher cylinder pressures and temperatures found in performance builds. The -16.2cc dish is a notable feature, indicating these are designed for specific compression targets, likely in naturally aspirated or forced induction builds where precise control over combustion is critical. The 4.040-inch bore size is a common overbore for many Small Block Chevy applications, allowing for increased displacement and potential power gains.

This set includes all eight pistons needed for a V8 engine. It's important to note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. When planning your build, consider that these pistons are part of a larger system; ensure your connecting rods, crankshaft, rings, and cylinder heads are compatible and suitable for the intended performance level. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for precise details on ring gap, piston-to-wall clearance, and assembly.
