Use Two Piece Ferrous Articulated Pistons Instead Of Aluminum Pistons {1214,1331}
Usage:
3406E (5EK1-80006) Truck Engines In 310 through 410 Horsepower Applications
If a 7E-0525 or 108-2716 Piston Body Assembly (aluminum piston) in one of these engines must be replaced, replace all six aluminum pistons with the 0R-8333 Remanufactured Cylinder Pack Kits. This cylinder pack kit includes a two piece ferrous articulated piston. When a two piece ferrous articulated piston is installed in place of the former aluminum piston, the former oil jet tube assembly (piston cooling) and the former oil jet bolt must be replaced with a new 100-3851 Oil Jet Tube Assembly (dual spray) and a new 111-8606 Oil Jet Bolt.
