Wiseco Chevrolet Small Block -5.7cc Flat Top 1.000 X 4.010 - Set of 8

If you're building a performance Chevrolet Small Block engine, especially for racing applications like drag or circle track, you need pistons that can handle the stress. This set of eight forged pistons from Wiseco's RED Series is designed to meet those demands. They are made from 2618 aluminum, a material known for its high tensile strength, which is crucial when you're pushing an engine hard or adding forced induction.

Wiseco's Race Engineered Design (RED) process means these pistons aren't just generic blanks; they're optimized for specific engines. You'll find features like horizontal slot oiling in the pin bores to keep the wrist pins well-lubricated, which is vital for long service life under high loads. The dedicated forgings allow for a strutted design that maximizes strength while keeping weight down. Plus, the ArmorGlide skirt coating helps reduce friction and noise, leading to less wear on both the piston skirts and the cylinder walls. An accumulator groove is also included to help maintain consistent ring seal and power delivery.

This set comes complete with premium rings, so you won't need to source those separately. Remember, these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. They are designed for performance builds where durability and strength are paramount.
