Are SRP pistons forged?
Both JE and SRP are high quality forged pistons. JE Pistons are designed primarily for racing engines and are available for many “race specific” applications. In addition, all SRP forgings utilize dedicated forgings that reduce the amount of machining required to complete the piston.
What are SRP Pistons?
SRP pistons that are made from 4032 wrought aluminum alloy are designed for street/strip applications utilizing compression ratios that are compatible with pump gas. These pistons also provide a quieter engine on cold start-up.
What happened to probe Pistons?
Probe is still alive and doing well, concentrating on rotating assemblies and hard engine parts. Engineered kits and components are available through Vigilante Parts www.VigilanteParts.com.
How do you identify a JE piston?
Pistons
- You’ll find the JE logo laser-etched underneath the crown of every JE piston manufactured since 2004.
- Your pistons may have a laser marking on the crown spelling “INT” or “EXH.” INT stands for intake, and EXH stands for exhaust.
- This number ONLY identifies the raw forging that was used to manufacture the piston.
How many Pistons do I need for a cylinder wall clearance?
Arule of thumb is that the gap clearance should be 0.03 mm for each 10 mm of cylinder diameter, measured in the unworn part of the bore. The ring must not be measured at the top of the bore because its gap will close as it is moved towards the bottom of the cylinder.
What is piston compression height?
Piston compression height is the distance between the centerline of the pin to the flat part of the top of the piston. That will put the top of the piston exactly at the top of the engine block, which is usually best for quench and performance.
Where are probe Pistons made?
Every Probe piston is built in the USA—even the raw forgings come from a foundry in the US.
What is a probe system?
A probe positioning system is a tool for the positioning of a (hand-held) measuring device, such as an ultrasound transducer in a fixed, predetermined place to the object, such as a patient. The operation of these systems varies from completely manual, to completely automated.
