K468XS
Overview:
The Wiseco Professional Series forged piston set is engineered specifically for the Chrysler 5.7L 3rd Generation HEMI engine. Designed with serious racers and high-performance builders in mind, these pistons deliver exceptional strength and durability for heavy to severe duty race applications. Whether you are building a track car or a high-output street machine, Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons provide the reliability and performance needed to push your engine to its limits.
Each piston features a +12cc dome design and a 1.080-inch compression height, optimized for enhanced combustion efficiency and power potential. This set of eight pistons is precision forged to exacting standards, ensuring consistent fitment and performance in demanding environments.
Key Features:
Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons incorporate advanced materials and design elements to meet the rigorous demands of racing and high-performance builds. Key features include:
- Forged from premium-grade aluminum alloy for superior strength and heat resistance.
- +12cc dome shape to increase compression ratio and improve combustion efficiency.
- 1.080-inch compression height tailored for the Chrysler 5.7L 3rd Gen HEMI architecture.
- 3.917-inch bore size to match factory cylinder dimensions for precise fitment.
- 0.866-inch pin diameter for robust wrist pin support and durability.
- Designed for use in heavy to severe duty race builds, capable of withstanding high cylinder pressures and temperatures.
- Includes premium piston rings engineered for optimal sealing and reduced friction.
- Manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
Construction & Design:
Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons are crafted using state-of-the-art forging techniques that enhance the metal’s grain structure and mechanical properties. This results in pistons that are significantly stronger and more resistant to fatigue than cast alternatives. The +12cc dome design increases the combustion chamber volume, which can help raise compression ratios for improved power output.
The pistons maintain a stock-style shelf configuration, ensuring compatibility with existing engine components and minimizing the need for extensive modifications. The precise compression height and pin diameter are engineered to maintain proper piston-to-rod geometry and optimize engine balance.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is designed as a direct replacement for the Chrysler 5.7L 3rd Gen HEMI engine, fitting the factory bore size and compression height specifications. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures and should be performed by experienced technicians to ensure proper clearances and ring end gaps.
- Set of 8 pistons for a complete V8 rebuild.
- Compatible with stock connecting rods and wrist pins matching the specified pin diameter.
- No modifications to the engine block or cylinder bore are necessary beyond standard machining and honing.
