5.9 C Choate Pistons w/rings 1989-1998 Coated,Flycut Set

AVAILABILITY: Due to high demand and rigorous quality control standards, current lead time for this machined kit is 1-3 weeks. Orders are processed in the order received.

 

Key Features and Fixes:

Choate Engineering Performance incorporates critical features to solve common performance constraints and provide a robust foundation for high-horsepower builds.

• Polyphen Coating Tops: The Polyphen Coated Tops act as a thermal barrier to reduce heat transfer into the piston material and oil.
• Performance Benefits: This heat reduction provides multiple benefits:
• Lower EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures)
• Lower Oil Temps
• Increased HP & Fuel Mileage
• Versatile Use: These pistons are suited for every day use and racing, making them ideal for the daily driver who occasionally tows or the dedicated track competitor.
• Valve Clearance Solution: The flycut valve reliefs eliminate the common constraint of piston-to-valve interference encountered when using performance cams, allowing builders to confidently select higher lift camshafts.

 

Components and Parts:

This complete kit provides a ready-to-install solution built for durability under high-stress conditions.

• High-Strength Piston Castings: Built from robust materials capable of withstanding the elevated cylinder pressures and high temperatures common with aggressive tuning and high boost levels.
• Complete Ring Set: Each piston comes with a full set of high-quality standard rings. Designed to meet original specifications, these rings provide dependable sealing and oil consumption control for long-term engine health.
• Wrist Pins and Locks: Includes heavy-duty wrist pins and corresponding locks (or retainers) for secure connection to the connecting rod.

Piston Set Includes:

• 6 Pistons with Ceramic Coated Tops
• Non-coated Piston Skirts
• 6 Pins
• 12 Locks

 

Machining Process:

The integrity and performance of these pistons are achieved through specialized machining processes focused on geometry, clearance, and quality control.

• Precision Flycutting: The piston crowns are flycut with precision-depth valve reliefs. This guarantees the necessary piston-to-valve clearance required when installing high-lift performance camshafts.
• Piston Geometry: Each piston is machined to specific tolerances and weight-matched to maintain engine balance and ensure consistent performance across all cylinders.
• Piston Cycling: Each piston goes through vigorous quality cycles at our facility to ensure they meet stringent specifications before assembly and coating.
