This specific formulation minimizes thermal expansion, ensuring that the piston maintains proper clearances during the high-heat demands of 2-stroke operation. Finished with a Molybdenum Disulphite (MoS2) skirt coating, this kit ensures a smooth break-in and provides superior resistance to scuffing and wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop Features: Vertex Cast Replica Oversized Piston Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e+0.50 mm Oversize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to restore engine performance in cylinders that have been machined\/bored 0.50 mm over the standard diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the same structural reliability and factory-grade fitment as original equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gravity-cast aluminum alloy with 18% silicone stabilizes the piston shape under extreme temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoly-Coated Skirt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coated with Molybdenum Disulphite for reduced friction, quicker break-in, and added protection against scuffing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT-5 Heat Treated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Undergoes a complete T-5 hardening and tempering cycle to maximize structural integrity and lifespan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an oversized piston intended for cylinders that have been professionally bored and honed to a 53.00 mm diameter.

It provides a fresh, perfectly round surface for the new piston rings to seat, maximizing compression and engine longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Pro-Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e After boring your cylinder, always ensure your machine shop provides a proper cross-hatch hone pattern. This pattern is essential for oil retention on the cylinder wall, which prevents premature ring and piston wear during your engine's initial break-in period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/mx-off-road-motorcycle-tools\"\u003eEssential Off-Road Motorcycle Tools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/premium-motorcycle-chemicals-brake-fluid-bike-wash-coolant-chain-lubes\"\u003eHigh-Performance Premix \u0026amp; Gear Oils\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Moto-House MX, we carry the best brands in motocross and off-road performance.
