597220C-8

Overview:

The Manley Platinum Series Piston Set is engineered for high-performance Dodge HEMI engines featuring a 3.937-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke. Crafted from premium 2618 alloy forgings, these pistons deliver exceptional strength and durability under demanding conditions. Whether you're building a race engine, a high-output street machine, or a custom performance build, these pistons provide the reliability and precision you need.

Designed for professional engine builders and serious enthusiasts, the Platinum Series pistons offer superior wear resistance and optimized skirt profiles to reduce friction and improve efficiency. With tool steel wrist pins and moly skirt coatings on select part numbers, this piston set supports enhanced engine longevity and consistent performance.

Key Features:

Manley’s Platinum Series pistons incorporate advanced materials and design elements to maximize performance and durability:

• Constructed from high-strength 2618 alloy forgings for excellent fatigue resistance and toughness.
• Proven cam and barrel skirt profiles reduce friction and improve piston stability within the cylinder.
• Tool steel wrist pins provide superior strength and wear resistance for demanding applications.
• Moly skirt coatings on select part numbers reduce friction and enhance durability under high loads.
• Flat top piston design with a -1.5cc dish volume for optimized combustion chamber shape and compression ratio.
• Precision machining ensures tight tolerances and consistent fitment for reliable engine assembly.
• Ideal for high-performance Dodge HEMI engines requiring a 3.937-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke configuration.

Construction & Design:

The pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum alloy, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and ability to withstand high thermal and mechanical stresses. The cam and barrel skirt profiles have been extensively tested to minimize piston slap and wear, contributing to smoother engine operation and longer service life.

Each piston is equipped with a tool steel wrist pin, which offers enhanced durability compared to standard pins. The moly skirt coating applied to select part numbers further reduces friction between the piston skirt and cylinder wall, improving efficiency and reducing heat buildup during operation.

Installation & Fitment:

This piston set is designed specifically for Dodge HEMI engines with a 3.937-inch bore and 4.050-inch stroke. It is engineered to fit precisely within the specified engine configuration, ensuring proper clearance and optimal performance. Installation should be performed by a qualified engine builder or technician to guarantee correct assembly and clearances.

• Compatible with engines requiring a 3.937in bore and 4.050in stroke.
• Flat top pistons with a -1.5cc dish volume for specific combustion chamber requirements.
• No modifications to the engine block or connecting rods are typically required when using this piston set.
