Pro Stroker Piston Set (12.5:1)
(94mm / +.080")
Forged pistons provide the ultimate strength and durability for any engine! Many people think that forged pistons are just for racers; this is not true. Even a daily driven vehicle can benefit from the extra strength of a forged piston. Forged pistons also work great on boosted applications; the excellent heat dissipation they offer keeps the cylinder head temps down and provide longer lasting, more powerful engines!
LC Engineering has done extensive research and development over the years, and we have found one of the best ways to gain power is to stroke the engine. These stroker pistons are made from forged aluminum for the ultimate strength and durability! They come in various compression ratios so you can use them for any application from daily driver to high boost race engines! Our exclusive forged Piston Kits includes the pistons, lightweight Tool Steel Chromoly Wristpins, Spiral Locks and Gas Nitride ring sets or you can upgrade to a gapless ring set.
Compression Ratio: 12.5:1.
Features Include:
- High strength aluminum forgings
- Super lightweight designs
- Fully CNC machined and balanced to +/- 1 gram
- Wrist pins included at no extra cost
- Accumulator groove included
- Double pin oilers, force fed from oil ring
- Pick lock grooves for easy lock removal
NOTE: Piston notching is available for valve clearance on high lift, high duration camshafts: Notch Labor.

Engine – 94mm CP Pistons
CP Pistons Cylinder Honing Recommendations For CPN & CPN2
For use with our CPN and CPN2. piston rings, we recommend plateau honing with a cylinder bore cross hatch angle of 35-40 degrees.
To reach this roughness, the manufacturers of honing machines and accessories recommend using for a gray cast iron engine block and Nikasil cylinders.
- Conventional stones #220 - #280 grit
- Diamond stones #325 - #550 grit
After honing with either the conventional or diamond stone, the same manufacturers suggest to finish your honing by smoothing the surface with a fine grit conventional abrasive (#400 - #600 grit) or to sweep the bores with a flexible brush or a nylon bristle plateau honing tool. This is necessary to get rid of jagged peaks and folded or torn material.
NOTE: Be sure to confirm with your honing equipment manufacturer that the recommended stone grit will produce the following Rz and Ra roughness recommendations.
Rz = 59 - 138 μ in [=1.5 – 3.5 μm]
Ra=15- 35μin [=0.4–0.9μm]
CP Piston Ring Recommendations:
Failure to check ring gap can result in severe engine failure. The following end gap recommendations are general guide- lines. The best ring gap for any particular engine and application varies. Increased clearance is generally needed for forced induction, nitrous, filled blocks, endurance racing and other extreme applications. The final end gap suitable for the engine is the full responsibility of the engine builder. If you have any questions, please call 949-567-9000 for technical support.
Determining Ring Gap:
To determine the ring end gap look for your application in the proceeding table. ALL BORES MUST BE CONVERTED TO INCHES. Example: Bore size is 81mm – to find top ring end gap for a street application.
81mm/25.4=3.189inches
(3.189 x .005)= .016”
Ring Specifications:
The following are guidelines for ring installation. Certain applications may require different clearances.
Consult the enclosed charts and diagrams before installing rings.
Ring Gap Measuring Procedures
- A torque plate should be installed on engine (if applicable) and torqued to specifications.
- Piston ring should be below and square to the deck. (Figure 1)
- Measure ring gap with a feeler gauge or equivalent

measuring device. (Figure 2)
NOTE: If the ring gap is less than the minimum specified for your bore size, it will be necessary to file fit the rings to achieve proper end gap.
Ring Filing Procedures:
- Ring gap should be filed using a ring gap filing tool.
- Ring gap should be file in an inward direction and
1. If the ring has a dot or writing on it, install with this side up. 2. If the ring is a taper hook groove style, the groove
square to the sides.
NOTE: Ring sets are manufactured to fit specific bores. For every .001” over the intended bore size, ring gap will increase by .00314”.
Top Ring:
- If the ring has a dot or writing on it, install with this side up.
- Unmarked rings with inner bevel are installed bevel side up.
- Rings without dot, writing or bevel install either side up.
Second Ring:
- If the ring has a dot or writing on it, install with this side up.
- If the ring is a taper hook groove style, the groove always goes down. (Figure 4).
- Unmarked rings with an inner bevel install bevel side down. (Figure 5).
- Rings without a dot or inner bevel install either side up.
Oil Ring:
- Most CP oil rings are three piece – two rails and an expander.
- End gaps on rails should not be less than .015” and should not overlap.
- Do not modify expander in any way.
