V8 Pistons
Piston Sets
Comprises 8 pistons complete with rings & gudgeon pins.
Single Pistons
Supplied with rings & gudgeon pin.
Cylinder Liner Set
Set of 8 liners for converting 3.5 engines to 3.9 litre bore. Also suitable for replacing the liners in an existing 3.9 litre (or larger capacity) engine.
Liner & Piston Set
As RB7486, but kit also includes standard size 9.35:1 compression pistons and rings, for 3.9 conversions.
Stroker Kits
Includes new 86mm stroke crankshaft, con rods, pistons/rings & bearings. 4.3 kit fits to 3.5 litre engine (20 thou rebore required) for 4.3 litres. 4.8 kit fits 3.9 litre engine (94mm bore) for 4.8 litres).
These kits enable you to enlarge the cubic capacity of your existing engine by increasing the stroke, hence the name 'stroker'. The kits comprise a brand new, high quality crankshaft, conrods and pistons (with bearings and piston rings supplied).
The stroke is increased from the standard 3.5/3.9 engine’s 71.1mm to a massive 86mm, (longer than the standard 4.6 litre stroke of 82mm) giving a capacity of 4.3 litres on a 3.5 engine and 4.8 litres on a 3.9 engine. Both engines require a 20 thou rebore before fitting. Finally, a small amount of grinding is required to the bottom of two cylinder liners (full instruction supplied) to allow clearance for crank rotation.
The result of the extra stroke is a huge increase in torque, even on an otherwise standard engine. Alternatively, you have the basis of a high performance engine, to which you can add our fully modified, big valve cylinder heads, uprated camshaft and sports exhaust system.
