Important Piston Compatibility & Ordering Information
Piston Agreement:Â To ensure proper fit, have your cylinders measured at a machine shop before ordering. Any changes to piston size after purchase will incur restocking and shipping fees.
Non-Exchangeable Parts:Â Pistons with ceramic coatings or that have been machined are non-exchangeable. Accurate measurements are essential to ensure compatibility.
Optional High-Performance Fuel Bowls
Designed for racing or high-performance use with 230+ cc injectors, these de-lipped fuel bowls improve fuel delivery. However, they may cause fuel haze and an unstable idle, so they are not recommended for light-duty or heavy towing applications unless you are prepared for these effects.
