I have been working on a new piston design for the 6.4 and it finally came in! We used a IH piston as the pattern and then improved upon it. To prevent cracking we added material in critical area such as the skirt, pin bores, and bowl area. We use a better ring pack to help with seating, blowby and oil consumption. The pin is made out of H-13 tool steel and has dual spiral locks to hold it in. The piston can be ordered with valve reliefs or without. The valve reliefs are made for oversized valves to accommodate all applications. The bowl can be straight sided or IH style. They can be ordered in literally any bore size you want! They are fully hard anodize coated and have moly skirt coating.
The ring lands are much longer lasting than conventional forged pistons because of the alloy and coating procedure of these pistons. There are several duramax's with these same style pistons and ring combinations on the road now. last one I know of had been compression checked at 60k miles with no loss from new spec. They are not a 200k mile piston (but neither is a stock one fwiw) but they are a good trade off for high Hp builds that do not want piston failure to ruin an engine. A 80-100k mile piston that won't crack at any Hp level is how these are designed.
Because of all the different combinations these are a make to order part. They do fit stock rods and we do have a drop in stock configuration piston if someone wants to go that route. They are a 5 week manufacture time right now.
I am super excited about these and they will be in my 2.6 pulling truck. I also have more ordered for a couple more builds for customers.
Although these pistons are running in lots of duramaxe's and cummins they are a new design for the powerstroke. So with that being said, If any one is wanting to be a tester for me, other than the sets in trucks that I am already in process of testing. I will give a discount on the first 10 sets of pistons. PM me for pricing. Normal price is $2500 for 8 pistons, rings, pins and locks.
