Product Description
Texas Speed LQ4 LQ9 LS2 L96 Drop-In Forged Piston & Rod Set
4.000" Stock-Bore Forged Rotating Assembly | No Balancing Required with a Stock Crankshaft
Build a stronger stock-bore 6.0L LS engine without the added expense and downtime of rebalancing the factory crankshaft. This direct drop-in package combines JE forged pistons with Texas Speed Super H-beam connecting rods, ARP L19 rod bolts, matched rod bearings and JE Pro Seal rings for compatible LQ4, LQ9, LS2 and L96 engine builds.
Key Features & Benefits
- Drop-In Stock-Crankshaft Compatibility: The piston, rod and bearing combination is sized to install with a stock crankshaft without requiring the rotating assembly to be rebalanced. This provides a convenient forged upgrade for compatible stock-bore 6.0L LS engines retaining their factory crankshaft.
- JE 4.000-Inch Forged Pistons: The kit includes JE forged 4.000-inch pistons designed for the factory 6.0L LS cylinder bore. Each piston features a -4cc flat-top configuration with a slight dish and no valve reliefs, providing the exact piston design supplied with this matched drop-in package.
- 4340 Steel Super H-Beam Rods: Texas Speed connecting rods are manufactured from heat-treated and stress-relieved 4340 steel for demanding performance applications. These Super H-beam rods are rated for upwards of 900 flywheel horsepower when used within a properly configured engine combination.
- Detailed Rod Machining Process: Each connecting rod is torqued, rough-honed, disassembled to release residual stress, reassembled and re-torqued before final honing. This controlled manufacturing process helps the rod maintain its intended round shape when fastened and installed in the engine.
- Complete Matched Forged Package: The set includes JE forged pistons, Texas Speed Super H-beam connecting rods with ARP L19 rod bolts, rod bearings sized for use with a stock crankshaft and a JE Pro Seal file-fit piston-ring set.
Notes
- The no-balancing-required configuration applies only when this matched package is used with a stock crankshaft.
