11-2235 80 FLH-FX Piston Set .005 Oversize
SKU11-2235
Keith Black dome piston set is .005 oversize with a 7.2:1 compression ratio for 1980-1984 80 Shovelhead models.
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 .005 over sized for a 3.498 bore and has a 8:1 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.
