Duratec 2.0/2.3 SBD/Omega Piston Set
Information for 87.50mm Bore:
We supply this version of Duratec 87.50mm bore piston, which come complete with rings for those people who are using a secondhand engine. The pistons will come with the rings unfitted as the rings must be gapped when fitting. They come as a set of 4, but may also be available singly on request depending on stock levels.
Our compression ratio figures are based on using a standard height block, with a standard Ford head gasket, and are only relevant for a 2.0L engine (83.1mm stroke crank).
- 11.7:1 with a standard cylinder head (circa 42.0cc chamber volume)
- 12.3:1 with a machined cylinder head (circa 40.0cc chamber volume)
Information for 88.00mm Bore:
The 88.00mm version is designed for those who have a secondhand engine that shows some bore wear. We would normally recommend the engine is replaced if any substantial bore wear has occurred due to the thickness of the cast in liners & would only recommend the use of an overbored engine for either road use or engines of a mild state of tune. The pistons will come with the rings unfitted as the rings must be gapped when fitting. They come as a set of 4, but may also be available singly on request depending on stock levels.
- 11.9:1 with a standard cylinder head (circa 42.0cc chamber volume)
- 12.3:1 with a machined cylinder head (circa 40.0cc chamber volume)
The Omega pot type pistons are extremely high quality and SBD have used them since we first started. The piston crown has been developed over time to what we believe is the best pot type piston available, if fact in many up against other makes of piston, they regularly out perform even those types which are supposed to be a slipper type. If you have a reasonable budget which is not able to stretch to our high specification Omega slipper pistons, choosing our Omega Pot type piston is an essential way to gain performance and reliability at the right price.
