11-2256 - 80 FLH-FX Piston Set .040 Oversize

Keith Black piston set is .040 oversize and is for a 3.498 inch bore. Piston set has a compression of 8.3:1 and includes rings. The Keith Black 390 hypereutectic alloy is cast in a permanent steel mold which makes it possible to build a light weight piston that makes more power and uses less fuel and lasts longer. Pistons are .040 oversize for a 3.498 inch bore and has a 9.5:1 compression ratio. The low heat transfer of the alloy keeps the skirts cool so piston expansion is minimal. The combination of a low heat transfer piston alloy and high compression ring placement increases power and economy. The high ring placement alone reduces detonation and increases the top ring temperature. **Note: Run engine at moderate speeds for at least 500 miles avoiding excessive running in lower gears in order to properly break-in new pistons and rings.
