SBC Domed Piston Set 4.040 Bore +6.5cc

The SBC Domed Piston Set 4.040 Bore +6.5cc is a precision-engineered component designed for small-block Chevrolet engine builds requiring elevated compression ratios and optimized combustion chamber geometry. This piston set addresses the needs of performance enthusiasts, racing builders, and engine rebuilders seeking reliable, high-quality internals for naturally aspirated and forced-induction applications. The domed piston design increases displacement efficiency while maintaining structural integrity under sustained load and high RPM operation.

Sportsman Racing Products engineers these pistons with premium materials and tight manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent bore fit across the 4.040" specification. The +6.5cc dome displacement adds measurable compression gain, allowing builders to achieve higher static compression ratios without cylinder head modification or overboring. The domed crown geometry promotes faster, more complete fuel combustion while reducing quench distances, resulting in cleaner combustion events and improved thermal efficiency. Proper ring seal, controlled expansion rates, and optimized pin bore positioning work together to minimize blow-by and extend component longevity under demanding conditions.

This piston set performs optimally in small-block Chevrolet engines built for street performance, bracket racing, or endurance competition. Installation requires compatible rods, crankshafts, and cylinder heads matched to 4.040" bore specification; verification of compression ratio, piston-to-valve clearance, and deck height before assembly is essential. The set's robust design tolerates both naturally aspirated high-RPM environments and boosted applications when proper supporting modifications are implemented. Builders upgrading existing engines or assembling complete platforms benefit from the straightforward fitment and proven reliability of this Sportsman Racing Products offering.
