Key Features:

Manley’s Extreme Duty pistons incorporate advanced materials and design elements to ensure superior performance and longevity:

• Forged from premium 2618 aluminum alloy, known for its high strength and excellent fatigue resistance.
• Proven cam and barrel skirt profiles reduce friction and wear for improved efficiency and durability.
• Equipped with tool steel wrist pins for enhanced strength and reliable piston-to-rod connection.
• Moly skirt coatings on select part numbers minimize friction and improve piston ring seal.
• 1.5cc flat top piston design optimizes combustion chamber volume for precise compression control.
• Specifically sized for a 3.917-inch bore to ensure a perfect fit in compatible Dodge 5.7L HEMI blocks.
• Engineered to handle extreme duty cycles, including high RPM and boosted applications.

Construction & Design:

Manley’s pistons are crafted using state-of-the-art forging techniques with 2618 alloy, a material favored in high-performance engines for its superior strength and thermal stability. The cam and barrel skirt profiles have been extensively tested to reduce friction and improve piston stability within the cylinder bore.

The inclusion of tool steel wrist pins enhances the durability of the piston-to-connecting rod interface, critical for extreme duty use. Additionally, the moly skirt coating applied to select pistons reduces wear and helps maintain smooth operation under high loads.

The flat top design with a 1.5cc dish volume is optimized for combustion efficiency and compression ratio control, making these pistons suitable for a variety of performance tuning setups.
