Manley Performance Platinum Series Pistons

Chrysler 5.7L HEMI 3.917in Bore 4.050in Stroke

598500C-8

Overview:

The Manley Performance Platinum Series Pistons are precision-engineered components designed specifically for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines with a 3.917-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke. These high-quality pistons feature a -23cc dished design, making them ideal for builders seeking to optimize combustion chamber volume and compression ratios.

Crafted for professional engine builders, tuners, and serious enthusiasts, these pistons deliver exceptional strength and durability under demanding conditions. Whether you are building a high-performance street engine or a race-ready powerplant, Manley’s Platinum Series pistons provide reliable performance and longevity.

With their advanced materials and proven design, these pistons help your engine maintain consistent power delivery and withstand the rigors of increased boost, higher RPMs, and aggressive tuning.

Key Features:

Manley’s Platinum Series Pistons incorporate advanced engineering and premium materials to ensure top-tier performance and durability. Key features include:

• Forged from 2618 aluminum alloy, known for excellent strength and fatigue resistance in high-performance applications.
• Proven cam and barrel skirt profiles that reduce friction and wear, enhancing piston stability and longevity.
• Tool steel wrist pins that provide superior strength and durability under high loads.
• Molybdenum (moly) skirt coatings on select part numbers to reduce friction and improve wear resistance.
• 23cc dished piston design to optimize combustion chamber volume and compression ratio for the 5.7L HEMI platform.
• Standard piston configuration engineered for reliable fitment and compatibility with factory and aftermarket components.
• Precision manufacturing ensures consistent bore sizing and weight balance for smooth engine operation.
• Trusted by professional engine builders and tuners worldwide for superior performance and durability.

Construction & Design:

These pistons are forged from premium 2618 aluminum alloy, a material favored in high-performance and racing engines due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and ability to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stresses. The forging process enhances grain structure, resulting in pistons that resist cracking and deformation under high cylinder pressures.

The cam and barrel skirt profiles have been extensively tested to reduce piston slap and friction, contributing to quieter operation and improved efficiency. The inclusion of tool steel wrist pins adds robustness to the piston-pin connection, critical for handling the high loads generated in boosted or high-RPM engines.

Additionally, the moly skirt coating on select pistons reduces friction between the piston skirt and cylinder wall, minimizing wear and improving ring seal over the life of the engine.

Installation & Fitment:

This piston set is designed as a direct fit for Chrysler 5.7L HEMI engines with a 3.917-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke. The -23cc dish volume is tailored to maintain proper compression ratios and combustion chamber geometry when used with compatible cylinder heads and components.

Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and precise measurements to ensure proper ring end gaps, piston-to-wall clearance, and wrist pin fitment. No modifications to the engine block or other components are typically necessary when using these pistons within their intended application.
