What material are these Manley pistons made from?

These Manley pistons are forged from domestic 2618 alloy. This material is chosen for its superior strength and performance characteristics, especially under high heat and pressure.

What is the purpose of the cam and barrel skirt profiles?

The cam and barrel profiles on the piston skirts are designed to optimize the piston's movement within the cylinder. This helps generate substantial power while also minimizing friction and wear on the cylinder walls.

Are these pistons compatible with all piston rings?

These pistons feature exacting ring lands and grooves machined to strict standards for enhanced ring seal. It is recommended to consult Manley's specifications or your engine builder for compatible ring set recommendations.

About this part

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance Ford 4.6L Modular V8 engine, these Manley Performance pistons are a solid choice. They're designed for a 3.700-inch bore and feature a -23.00cc dish, which is important for setting your compression ratio. Manley is a name many professional engine builders trust, and these pistons are built to handle serious power.

These pistons are forged from 2618 alloy, a material known for its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures without deforming. This is crucial for boosted or high-compression builds where stock pistons might fail. They also feature proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, which help reduce friction and wear on your cylinder walls while still allowing the piston to generate substantial power. The ring lands and grooves are machined to very precise standards, which helps ensure a good seal with your piston rings, leading to better compression and more power. Manley even uses unique fixturing to machine the ring grooves and skirt in one operation, ensuring they are perfectly square to each other.

This set includes premium chrome moly wrist pins, which are strong enough for many performance applications. For those pushing the absolute limits, Manley offers upgrades to even stronger wrist pin alloys. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll also want to check the manufacturer's specifications for any additional components needed for installation, such as specific ring sets or bearings, to complete your engine build.
