Howards Cams 4.030" Flat Top Pistons for Chevrolet Small Block

Looking to boost your Chevy Small Block's performance? The Howards Cams 4.030" Flat Top Pistons are designed specifically for enthusiasts who demand durability and power. Crafted with precision, these pistons are perfect for high-performance applications, ensuring your engine operates at its best.

Features That Stand Out

  • Forged from 2618-T61 Billet Aluminum: This material is known for its strength, making it ideal for extreme conditions.
  • Oversized Valve Pockets: Designed to accommodate larger cam profiles and oversized valves for enhanced airflow.
  • Accumulator Grooves: Improve ring seal for better compression and overall engine efficiency.
  • CNC Turned Skirts: Ensures a precise fit, allowing the pistons to withstand intense heat and side loads without damage.
  • Lightweight Aircraft Quality Wrist Pins: Included for exceptional strength without adding unnecessary weight.
  • Radius Valve Reliefs: Eliminate sharp edges, reducing the risk of hot spots during operation.
  • Forced Pin Oilers: Keep your engine components well-lubricated even under the most demanding conditions.
  • Double Spirolox: Standard for added security in retaining the wrist pins.

Benefits of Choosing Howards Cams Pistons

When you opt for Howards HRC Racing Pistons, you're choosing a product that has been engineered to perform under pressure. The 2618-T61 material ensures that these pistons maintain their shape even at high RPMs, eliminating concerns like "skirt shrinking." Plus, the innovative design minimizes the risk of scuffing or splitting cylinder walls, which can be a common issue with inferior pistons.

Specifications

  • Piston Diameter: 4.030 inches
  • Ring Grooves: 1/16", 1/16", 3/16"
  • Wrist Pin Wall Thickness: .150 inches
