What material are these pistons made from and why is it important?

These pistons are forged from 2618 alloy, a domestic material chosen for its superior strength and performance capabilities. This makes them well-suited for demanding engine builds where durability and power handling are critical.

What is the purpose of the -18cc dish in these pistons?

The -18cc dish is a specific volume designed into the piston crown. It helps engine builders precisely control the compression ratio of the engine by reducing the volume in the combustion chamber, especially when paired with specific cylinder head volumes and head gaskets.

Do these pistons come with wrist pins?

Yes, these pistons include tool steel wrist pins. These are a premium component chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the stresses within the engine.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Ford Modular 4.6L 3 Valve, a solid set of pistons is crucial for reliable performance. These pistons from Manley are forged from 2618 alloy, a material known for its strength and ability to handle the demands of a performance engine build. They feature a -18cc dish, which is important for setting your compression ratio correctly depending on your cylinder head volume and head gasket thickness.

Manley uses proven cam and barrel skirt profiles on these pistons. This design helps them run smoothly against the cylinder walls, reducing wear and noise while still allowing the engine to make power. The ring lands and grooves are machined to exacting standards, which is key for getting a good seal from your piston rings. A good ring seal means better compression and less blow-by, ultimately leading to more power and a healthier engine. These pistons also come with tool steel wrist pins for added durability, and Manley's unique fixturing ensures the ring grooves are perfectly square to the piston skirt.

When you're building an engine, especially one that will see performance use, using well-built components like these Manley pistons can make a significant difference. They are designed to work with your engine's components to achieve optimal performance and longevity. Keep in mind these are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
