Wiseco BBC Quick 16 +45cc Dome 1.120inch Piston Shelf Stock Kit

Forged from 2618 aluminum, these Wiseco pistons are built for serious performance in Chevrolet Big Block engines. The material choice here is key for handling the extreme pressures and temperatures found in heavy to severe duty race applications, offering improved tensile strength over other alloys. This kit includes eight pistons, each featuring a +45cc dome designed to work with specific cylinder head combinations for optimal compression. The 1.120-inch compression height is a critical measurement that ensures proper piston-to-head clearance and valve timing when paired with the correct connecting rods.

Wiseco has incorporated several features to enhance durability and performance. Precision ring grooves are machined to tight tolerances, and additional features are included to improve ring seal, which is vital for maintaining compression and preventing blow-by. The pistons also come with an ArmorGlide skirt coating. This isn't just for looks; it's designed to reduce friction, resist seizure, and operate more quietly, all contributing to a more efficient and longer-lasting engine build. The fully machined crown ensures consistent combustion chamber volume across all pistons, and forced pin oiling helps keep the wrist pins lubricated under high stress.

This piston set is designed for builders who are pushing the limits of their engine. While these are shelf stock pistons, they are packed with custom-level features that make them a solid choice for demanding race builds. They are engineered and machined in the USA, reflecting a commitment to quality manufacturing. Remember to consult your engine builder or the manufacturer's detailed specifications to ensure these pistons are the right match for your specific cylinder heads, camshaft, and connecting rods to achieve your desired compression ratio and performance goals.
