Supertech Pistons Supertech Pistons are manufactured from Extruded High Silicon, Enhanced 4032 Alloy (with additional Cu, Ni & Mg) that has low thermal expansion, Excellent wear resistance and higher thermal conductivity. Our pistons with this alloy have withstood up to 42psi of boost, on alcohol, without any problems. Several heat treatments provide the piston with a high tensile strength and evenly distributed hardness. The pistons are machined in several steps in specially designed machines and in conventional CNC Machines with special diamond tools for dimensional precision, perpendicularity and flatness of the ring grooves. Contact reduction grooves are standard. Pin bores are honed and reamed for a precise fit. Wrist pins are constructed of Cold Extruded Chrome Moly Steel for high strength and secured with wire clip locks. Piston Rings are manufactured in Japan with the latest technology for high performance applications. Finally our "Phosphate Dry Lubricant Coating" is applied to protect the rings against "Micro Welding" and enhance lubricity in the Skirt /Cylinder area. Quality Control is performed after every step of the manufacturing process in a climate controlled environment to ensure reliability of dimensions. Eagle Rods All Eagle "ESP" Connecting Rods are manufactured from a TWO-PIECE FORGING. The forging process forces the grain into the shape of a connecting rod, resulting in a superior fatigue life. The rod cap is forged separately so that the grain runs perpendicular to the load forces, which strengthens the connecting rod. Many aftermarket connecting rods are manufactured from 4340 steel. 4340 specs allow a range of different materials to achieve the desired results. Although it is a more expensive process, all Eagle "ESP" 3-D connecting rods also include higher content of nickel & chrome, which increases the strength & fatigue life without making the connecting rod brittle. Extensive testing has proven Eagle's two-piece forging superior to any one-piece forging on the market! All Eagle "ESP" Rods are clearly identified. Proper rod bolt torque is vital to connecting rod life. A rod bolt fastner is without question the highest stressed fastener in the engine. The big end bore of the connecting rod is a stressed bore in much the same way as cylinders are on a block. It is equally important to torque properly to provide proper strength & to insure the big end of the rod sizing is correct. Improper torque will result in premature rod failure!
