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

These Mahle pistons from Industrial Injection are .020 inch oversized and feature a coated skirt, a design choice that helps reduce friction and wear inside your Dodge 12V Cummins engine. The Champ. Fly Cut designation means they've been precisely machined with a valve relief cut, ensuring proper clearance for your camshaft and valves, especially important if you're running an updated camshaft or modified cylinder head. This level of detail in machining is crucial for preventing piston-to-valve contact, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure.

Built for the demanding nature of the 12V Cummins platform, these pistons are constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the high cylinder pressures and temperatures common in these engines. The coated skirt is a notable feature that contributes to improved longevity and quieter operation by minimizing piston slap and scuffing against the cylinder walls. This coating helps maintain a consistent piston-to-wall clearance throughout the engine's operating temperature range, which is vital for optimal performance and engine health over the long haul.

When rebuilding or significantly upgrading your 12V Cummins, using a well-made piston set like this is a critical step. The .020 inch oversize is intended for engines that have had their cylinders honed or bored to match this dimension, typically to clean up wear or damage. Industrial Injection is known for its focus on performance diesel components, and this piston set reflects that commitment to providing parts that can handle serious work. Ensure your engine builder is aware of the specific machining on these pistons, particularly the fly-cut reliefs, to integrate them seamlessly into your build.
