Pistons

PMI has been working to create a full inventory of pistons for both the 230 and the 250 Pontiac OHC engines - plus a series of custom pistons for non-standard connecting rod and bore size combinations! Our efforts have been focused not only on cast replacement pistons, but also hypereutectic pistons with tighter tolerances and lower expansion rates than forged pistons. Modern forged piston technology allows for tighter bore clearances and fits, leading to quieter warm-ups. The high strength of forged pistons over any cast pistons makes them ideal in any application.
