Created from a high-silicon aluminum alloy, KB Performance pistons are lightweight to improve throttle response and RPM changes while still being strong enough to withstand high compression and high temperatures. Each piston is engineered with race ready features like high upper compression-ring locations, gas-accumulator grooves, drilled oil returns, and spiral-lock retainer grooves.

UEM continues to manufacture exceptionally broad application coverage with all the latest “State of the Art” features in the Silv-o-lite brand. Every manufacturing process is done in house, including alloying the aluminum, casting, heat treating, diamond machining, and a full array of anodizing and coatings for the piston crowns, ring grooves, and skirts.
