This listing is for a complete
MTC Engineering
High Performance Piston Kit.
These pistons are manufactured
in Cocoa Florida
using the highest quality aluminum alloy.
The alloy used by
MTC Engineering
does not contain any silicone
as used by other manufacturer's.
Each piston is subjected to
a battery of quality control checks
to assure uniformity and high quality.
Some of the world's fastest motorcycles
are equipped with
MTC Engineering pistons.
These pistons are designed to be used
with very long duration camshafts like
the PSP-3X.
They should not be used with stock camshafts
as the cranking pressure will be too high and
the motor will run very hot.
This MTC Engineering
high performance piston kit
contains the following:
(4) 72mm aluminum forged pistons,
10.5:1 compression ratio.
(4) Hard chromed wrist pins.
(4) Sets of 72mm rings.
(with three piece oil ring)
(8) Teflon buttons sized for a 72mm bore.
(buttons take the place of circlips)
(1) Cometic one piece copper head gasket.
(1) Fiber cylinder base gasket.
This is every part required
to update your tired top end.
Notice that this kit comes complete
with a $41.95 set of teflon wrist pin buttons
not a 99 cent set of circlips as in other kits.
If you have ever seen what a
dislodged circlip can do to a piston and
cylinder, you would never use them again.
Your cost includes everything
shown in the picture.

That includes KZ1000J1/J2/J3
KZ1000K1/K2 KZ1000M1/M2

39mm intake valves and 33mm exhaust valves.
