forged pstons 3SGTE
We now have very limited supply of US made, ACL branded ,3SGTE forged pistons. $750/set including rings. Sizes are Std, 0.5mm, 1,0mm.
If you are shopping for these, you will realise this is an excellent price in the current market, with the cheapest ebay sellers asking $850 incl ex USA freight for comparable product.
The reasons we often use these pistons are:
a readily available ring pack , identical to the factory sizes, so you are not locked in to one supplier, when it comes time for re-ring
lowest available compression, with a 12cc dish, so these easily suit engines with machined heads & metal HG's, without knocking up the compression ratio unacceptably.
crown is thick enough to enable further machining for getting perfect zero deck clearance, or super large valves
Gudgeon pins held in with double spirolocks. these are simply the best retaining system you can get.
if you want a set, suggest you phone us (07-32018866) or direct email (roadandtrack@bigpond.com) . thanks
