Std Rings- The rings are normally 'Drop-In' Style rings. If you don't see what you need, contact us and we can get it for you. We also offer TNT, stainless, dykes, and diamond lapped sets from Total Seal. The top gapless sets are designed to prevent trapping pressure between the top and second rings. These are the latest design by Total Seal and were made possible by the better ring materials developed over the last few years.

Gapless Top (M) sets use a 2 piece gapless top ring.

Stronger, Longer life and Most Precise Tolerances

AP Advanced Stainless Top Ring (CS) are manufactured from 440B stainless steel and use a C33 face coating which cylinder wall wear.

Classic Race (CR) sets are traditional, non- gapless sets using plasma-moly top rings.

We offer Total Seal rings in several different styles: This gives us a huge selection and Total Seal will custom build ring sets for almost any application if it's not an in-stock part.

The main reason for this is their ability to build ring sets for us using rings from most of the major ring manufacturers as well as their own rings. This ensures the pistons and rings will seat properly and be within specs and tolerances for building an engine capable of performance, horsepower, and longevity usually found in a Butler Engine.īutler Performance uses Total Seal piston rings in most of our engines and assemblies.

030' over will ensure that you have a good foundation to install your assembly into. Most engines have normal wear and machining the block and honing the cylinders to. Many sellers limit you to only a few piston options, Butler Performance working in conjunction with Ross Racing can design thousands of different pistons for almost any application.īutler Performance chooses to start Bore Size options for rotating assemblies, short blocks, long blocks, and engines at. Piston Selection- Based on your desired compression ratio, our techs work closely with Ross Racing to design a custom piston for your application. These pistons can also be run at tighter piston to wall clearance so they are great for performance street applications as well as all-out racing. These are the latest 'strut-style' design, which lends to the reduced weight as well as increased strength. When making Pontiac pistons, these companies would typically use a raw forging originally designed for a small block Chevy, being the closest thing to Pontiac bore size, valve spacing and order, etc. This has worked for many years but sometimes resulted in pistons being heavier than needed because the Pontiac designs didn't 'fit' the Chevy style forgings perfectly.Now ROSS Racing Pistons has designed a true 'Pontiac' forging exclusively for Butler Performance.These pistons are some of the lightest and strongest available, with no special internal milling required to get the reduced weight. For years piston forging designs used by performance piston manufacturers have been based off Small or Big Chevy, Ford, etc. (noted in crank description)Īfter many years of working closely together, Butler Performance and ROSS Racing Pistons have developed a new line of Performance Forged Pistons for traditional Pontiac engines base on a new Butler exclusive forging. Most cranks offer standard oiling while some may offer Straight Shot Oiling.

Upgrading to a forged crank to build a solid bottom end will give you the option to safely upgrade performance and increase horsepower without having to worry about costly breakdowns in the future. This is very inexpensive insurance to protect your engine and even if its not needed at your current horsepower level now. Forged Cranks offer a tremendous advantage in strength and durability over cast cranks.

Many factory cranks we check have stress cracks, so even though your crank has not broken yet, you may have a problem developing that could destroy your engine.īutler Performance also offers Pontiac 4340 forged cranks from from many of the same manufacturers in a variety of sizes, and include the latest in oiling technology. Recommended for use in street engines without power adders. These crankshafts are new cast pieces made with modern material and casting processes to be a great alternative to 30 year old factory cranks. These crankshafts come in cast steel or 4340 forged steel.Ĭast crankshafts are an excellent alternative to O.E. We offer crankshafts from leading manufacturers such as Scat, Eagle, RPM, and Ohio. All our assemblies come standard with Total Seal Classic rings. Our assemblies can be upgraded and customized to your project.

Apparel, Cups, Decals, Books, Gift CardsĪll assemblies are internally balanced and require a neutral balanced flexplate or flywheel and harmonic balancer.
