RING SETS |
|
NOTE: It is common for the tapered lip that
came in the bottom of your cylinders from the factory to be
removed when installing larger bore piston kits. If the machine
shop doing your boring does not taper the bottom of the sleeves
after they are bored there will be a sharp edge at the bottom in
place of the factory taper. It will need to be removed to make
ring installation easier. You can taper the sleeves by hand with
a Dremel tool or porting tool using a small 400 grit or less
sanding drum. It is also very important to wash the bores with
hot soapy water to remove any sanding residue and oil them
lightly when the tapering job is complete. We recommend lightweight machine oil
or engine oil.
Following this
procedure will greatly reduced the risk of broken rings during
installation!

Available DP Custom Piston Options:
*Some features add production time to build.
|
| ACCUMULATOR GROOVES |
An accumulator groove is machined into the
land between the top and second ring. It provides additional
volume where residual combustion gases that have "blown by" the
top ring can collect. This additional volume helps to reduce
pressure between the top & second ring, thus aiding in top ring
seal and minimizing ring flutter. |
| LATERAL GAS PORTING |
This process mills slots into the top of the
top ring groove and provides a pathway for combustion pressure
to get behind the top ring. This process helps to increase ring
seal. |
| SMOOTH FINISHED DOMES |
Decreases hot spots |
| CONTACT REDUCTION GROOVES |
The purpose of machining these grooves is to
reduce the amount of contact area against the cylinder wall when
the piston “rocks over”. Contact reduction also serves to
disrupt the flame travel into the crevice area thus helping to
reduce detonation. |
| 3D UNDER CROWN MILLING |
The 3D Under Crown machining process allows for
uniform deck thickness, therefore creating a lighter and more
durable piston.

|
|
| "ECONOMY' UNDER CROWN MILLING |
Similar to above without quite as much weight
reduction. An excellent balance of cost vs. result.
|
| FULL LIGHTENING PACKAGE |
For maximum weight reduction
|
| TUFF SKIRT COATING |
JE Pistons’ trademark coating that is a
lubricating, anti-friction / anti-wear coating applied to the
piston skirt only. Unlike our standard Skirt Coating, Tuff Skirt
will not wear and is designed to withstand many different types
of endurance applications, similar to those commonly found in
NASCAR. Buildup is .0005” per surface and finished diameter of
skirt should include the coating buildup. |
| THERMAL CROWN BARRIER |
The thermal barrier crown coating is applied
to the top of the piston and is designed to reflect heat into
the combustion chamber, thereby increasing exhaust gas velocity
and greatly improving scavenging potential. The .0015” thick
coating can also assist in extending piston life by decreasing
the rate of thermal transfer. |
| TULIP VALVE POCKETS |
Most commonly used on Hemi and motorcycle
engines, this process leaves a raised area on plunged valve
pockets to achieve maximum compression. |
