Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI

K469X05

Overview:

The Wiseco Professional Series forged piston set is engineered specifically for serious racers and high-performance builders who demand uncompromising strength and durability. Designed for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Generation HEMI engine, these pistons provide a reliable foundation for heavy to severe duty race applications.

Each piston is crafted to exacting standards, delivering superior performance and longevity under extreme conditions. Whether you are building a dedicated race engine or a high-output street machine, Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons help you push your build beyond conventional limits.

With a 4.060 inch bore size and a -6.5cc reverse dome design, this piston set is optimized for performance and combustion efficiency while maintaining a stock piston shelf configuration for precise fitment.

Key Features:

Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons incorporate advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to ensure maximum strength and performance:

• Forged from premium-grade aluminum alloy for exceptional strength and lightweight durability
• 6.5cc reverse dome (R/Dome) design to optimize combustion chamber shape and compression characteristics
• 4.060 inch bore diameter tailored for Chrysler 6.1L HEMI applications
• 1.080 inch compression height for precise piston-to-cylinder head clearance
• 0.866 inch wrist pin diameter for robust pin retention and reduced flex
• Designed with a stock piston shelf to ensure compatibility with factory cylinder walls and rings
• Supplied as a complete set of 8 pistons, ideal for V8 engine builds
• Includes premium piston rings engineered for high-performance sealing and durability
• Manufactured to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty racing and high-boost forced induction setups

Construction & Design:

These pistons are forged using Wiseco’s industry-leading forging process, which enhances the metal grain structure for superior strength and fatigue resistance. The reverse dome design improves combustion efficiency by promoting better flame propagation and reducing detonation risk.

The pistons maintain a stock piston shelf configuration, ensuring a precise fit within the factory cylinder bore and maintaining proper ring sealing. The compression height and wrist pin diameter are optimized for the Chrysler 6.1L HEMI architecture, providing reliable piston-to-rod alignment and durability under high loads.

Each piston is finished with tight tolerances and balanced for consistent performance across all eight cylinders, making them ideal for serious engine builders who demand reliability and power.

Installation & Fitment:

This piston set is designed as a direct replacement for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI engine. It fits standard 4.060 inch bore applications and maintains stock piston shelf dimensions for straightforward installation.

Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures. No modifications to the cylinder bore or block are necessary beyond standard machining and honing to the specified bore size.

• Fits Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Generation HEMI engines
• Requires 4.060 inch bore machining
• No special modifications or custom tuning required beyond normal engine build practices

What’s Included
