Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI
K472X05
Overview:
The Wiseco Professional Series forged pistons are engineered for serious racers and high-performance engine builders who demand uncompromising strength and durability. Designed specifically for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Generation HEMI engine, these pistons deliver reliable performance in heavy to severe duty race applications.
Whether you're building a track-focused race engine or a high-output street machine, these pistons provide the foundation for increased power and longevity. With premium rings included, you’ll get a complete piston set that supports aggressive tuning and high cylinder pressures.
Key Features:
These pistons incorporate advanced design and manufacturing techniques to meet the rigorous demands of racing environments:
- Forged construction for superior strength and resistance to high stress and heat
- 15cc reverse dome design to optimize combustion chamber volume and compression ratio
- 4.060 inch bore size to match factory cylinder dimensions for precise fitment
- 1.205 inch compression height engineered for proper piston-to-deck clearance
- 0.927 inch wrist pin diameter for enhanced durability and load distribution
- Professional Series pistons include premium piston rings for improved sealing and wear resistance
- Designed to withstand heavy-duty and severe race conditions without compromising reliability
- Precision machining ensures consistent weight and balance across the set of eight pistons
Construction & Design:
Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons are crafted from high-grade forged aluminum alloy, providing an optimal balance of lightweight performance and structural integrity. The reverse dome (R/Dome) design reduces combustion chamber volume by 15cc, allowing for tailored compression ratios suited to high-performance builds.
Each piston is CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent dimensions and weight for smooth engine operation. The robust wrist pin diameter and reinforced skirt areas enhance durability under extreme racing conditions, while the included premium rings help maintain excellent sealing and reduce blow-by.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is designed as a direct replacement for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI engine, matching the factory bore size and compression height for straightforward installation. It fits engines with a 4.060 inch bore and requires no modifications to the block or connecting rods when installed properly.
Professional installation by an experienced engine builder is recommended to ensure proper clearances and ring end gaps. No special machining beyond standard engine rebuild procedures is typically necessary.
What's Included:
