We sell the County brand piston sets because we feel they are a better product than the far more expensive AE pistons.  The County pistons come with a superior piston ring package, especially the oil rings which are a multi-piece assembly (as opposed to the single piece cast iron oil ring AE uses).  Additionally, we've found that the County pistons are much closer in balance out of the box than the more expensive AE units.  Typically the County pistons are within 2-3 grams across the set, while we've seen as much as 6 grams variation across a set of AE pistons. 

Piston set includes six pistons, six wrist pins with retainers, and full set of top, bottom and oil rings.

When using the original style head gaskets, you can use up to a +060 piston on the early blocks and a +040 piston on the late recessed bore blocks.

Note that performance engines still should have their bottom end components balanced to +/- 1 gram or better.  We offer balancing of piston sets prior to shipping, which is often more cost effective than having your machine shop balance them once you receive them.

(STD size pistons only available as special order, all other sizes are kept in stock)
