These wire lock piston pin locks from CP Pistons are made with a .073 inch thickness, designed to fit a 1.031 inch bore. They are a crucial component for keeping your piston pin securely in place within the piston, preventing any unwanted movement that could lead to engine damage. When you're rebuilding or working on the internals of your engine, ensuring these small but vital parts are properly seated is key to a reliable build.

The wire lock design is a well-known method for securing piston pins. It's a straightforward yet effective way to create a positive lock that resists vibration and the stresses of engine operation. While they are a single unit, they are designed to work with the precision that CP Pistons is known for, ensuring a snug fit in the piston groove. This attention to detail in manufacturing helps make sure your engine's rotating assembly stays together under load.

When installing these, make sure the groove in the piston and the pin are clean. The wire lock simply snaps into place, but it needs to be seated correctly to do its job. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in the overall health and performance of your engine.
