What is the purpose of the cam and barrel skirt profiles on these pistons?

The cam and barrel skirt profiles are designed to help the piston generate substantial power while also minimizing wear on the cylinder walls. This design helps the piston move smoothly within the cylinder.

Are these pistons suitable for high-performance or racing applications?

Yes, these pistons are built from strong 2618 alloy forgings and are designed with precision for demanding conditions, making them a popular choice for professional engine builders and performance applications.

What does the -7.00 CC designation mean for the piston dish?

The -7.00 CC indicates that the piston has a dish-shaped volume of 7 cubic centimeters. This dish affects the engine's compression ratio, and this specific volume is a key factor when calculating your target compression.

About this part

Product Details

Built from domestic 2618 alloy forgings, these Manley pistons are a solid choice for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their Chevrolet 5.3L LS Gen III engine. The 3.790-inch bore size and -7.00cc dish volume are specific dimensions to consider for your build's compression ratio goals. Manley has a reputation among professional engine builders for making parts that hold up under demanding conditions.

What sets these pistons apart is the attention to detail in their design and manufacturing. They feature proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, which help them generate power while also being easier on your cylinder walls. The ring lands and grooves are machined to exacting standards, which is crucial for getting a good seal from your piston rings, ultimately leading to more power and better engine efficiency. Manley's unique fixturing process allows them to machine the skirt and ring grooves in one operation, ensuring they are perfectly square to each other. This level of precision is what you'd expect when aiming for maximum performance and durability.

This set includes premium chrome moly wrist pins, known for their strength. For those looking for even more durability, Manley offers upgrades to 9310 and Turbo Tuff/DLC alloys on select part numbers. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
