Industrial Injection Dodge 12V Mahle Piston .020 Oversized Coated Champ. Fly Cut

Industrial Injection is well-known for building robust diesel performance parts, and these Mahle pistons are a prime example of their commitment to the 12-valve Cummins platform. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, these pistons are designed to handle the demands of a high-performance diesel engine. They are .020 inches oversized, meaning they are intended for engine blocks that have been bored out to match this larger diameter, ensuring a fresh bore surface and optimal piston-to-wall clearance.

What sets these pistons apart is the combination of features for improved performance and durability. They come with a coated skirt, which helps reduce friction and wear within the cylinder bore, leading to a quieter operation and potentially longer engine life. The 'Champ. Fly Cut' designation indicates that these pistons have a unique cut-out machined into the crown. This fly-cut is specifically designed to provide extra clearance for the valves, which is crucial if you're running an upgraded camshaft or cylinder head that might alter valve timing or lift. This attention to detail helps prevent piston-to-valve contact, a common issue in modified engines.

This set includes pistons made by Mahle, a respected name in piston manufacturing, ensuring a well-built component that meets strict tolerances. When undertaking a major engine overhaul, using pistons like these from Industrial Injection means you're starting with a solid foundation for a reliable and powerful diesel engine. Remember that these pistons are .020 oversized, so ensure your engine block has been machined to this specific dimension before installation.
