Product Details
Forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, this CP Pistons set is built to handle the demands of a performance-oriented Mustang 4.6L 3-valve engine. The standard bore size ensures a precise fit for your rebuild, while the 9.6:1 compression ratio is a well-balanced choice for many performance applications, offering a good blend of power and pump-gas compatibility. These pistons are designed to be a solid foundation for an engine that needs to perform reliably under stress.
CP Pistons is known for their attention to detail in piston design and manufacturing.

The included rings are selected to complement the piston's design, ensuring proper sealing for optimal compression and oil control. This set is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to rebuild or enhance their 4.6L 3-valve engine, providing the durability and performance characteristics needed for serious use.
When undertaking an engine rebuild with these pistons, it's important to follow the manufacturer's specific installation guidelines for ring gap, piston-to-wall clearance, and assembly lubrication. Proper installation is key to unlocking the full potential and longevity of this high-performance component. Please note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
