Of all engine performance parts, piston assemblies usually extract the largest bite from a Ir. Stock engine builder's budget. Of course this is not always the case. Some piston manufacturers, such as ...

Unless you rebuilding an engine with little to no budget you're going to upgrade to aluminum forged pistons. Besides being stronger than cast pistons, the lighter aluminum cuts parasitic power loss.

It’s commonplace these days to read a classified ad of a restomod or a heavily tuned vehicle and see that some engine parts have been replaced by forged internals. But why is that better? Donut Media ...

Many performance cars, including the supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and most Ferrari GT models, rely on forged pistons — instead of cast-aluminum pistons — for their additional strength. Forged ...

Engineered using the OEM CAD models to clear the OEM piston cooling oil jets and crankshaft reluctor wheel of the LSA engine, the Lingenfelter LSA piston and ring kit will also work alongside ...

The combustion engine has been around since the 19th century, thought up by the brilliant minds of engineers like Nikolaus Otto and Rudolf Diesel. Over the years, advancements in automotive technology ...

Horse Sense:For a company such as Probe Racing, stepping up to service the forged piston aftermarket on a mass scale is at least two big rungs up the business ladder. Chris Huff characterizes the ...

If internal combustion is a war, then pistons are quite literally on the frontlines. Converting reciprocating energy into rotating force means that the four-stroke process tries to both eject the ...

Developments in near-net-shape forging processes promise to enhance engine performance, strengthen components for oil and gas drilling and improve hermetic seals for high-power semiconductors.
