Piston Kit (Forged High Compression)

Increase performance and rebuild with confidence with the VERTEX Pro HC forged high-compression piston kit. Developed with Vertex technology, this forged piston is designed to deliver improved power and torque across the entire rpm range—ideal when you want a stronger, more responsive engine after a top-end service.

Thanks to its 2618 forged aluminum construction and a T-5 heat-treatment hardening/tempering cycle, it offers excellent strength and durability under high load. The molybdenum disulphide (moly) skirt coating helps reduce friction for faster break-in and extended piston life.
