C.P. PISTONS AND CARRILLO RODS
CP PISTONS say - Whether you are a professional racer or a weekend warrior, CP prides itself on giving you the best part possible for your applications. All pistons at CP are put through a demanding quality control system and precise computerised machining, ensuring that your piston is the best piston available. In our opinion - CP Pistons are just the best people to deal with. They have a great product and are always willing to help with any difficult projects. We have used many brands over the years but CP are the choice we always build into our engines. Five years of faultless reliability speaks for itself.

Good for 12:1 on most 1600cc heads. The piston intruder is made thick so it can be machined down to customise your head if needed Part No - LTC - 835152
LOTUS TWIN CAM 83.50mm To suit bore size of 83.50mm (Piston weight 298 grams) Compression height 1.110” (For use with 5.230 rod) Top ring - 1mm Second ring - 1.2mm Oil ring - 2.8mm Valve reliefs for 1.625 dia inlet valve and 1.400 exhaust Intruder height .240” gives positive 10cc. Good for 12:1 on most 1600cc heads. The piston intruder is made thick so it can be machined down to customise your head if needed Part No - LTC - 835110

Pistons detailed below are our most popular selling and normally available from stock. 

However we can have pistons made in almost any size, any compression height to suit our ageing Ford blocks or something special for an alloy block project, etc.   

Just email your needs for more information.  Most custom pistons take 3-4 weeks. 

Rush orders of 10 days or less are  available at an extra cost.


All of our piston sets have twin pin oilers as standard and include quality piston ring set, pins, locks.        

Pistons set prices start at $ 595.00

PUSHROD PRE X/FLOW FLAT TOP SHORT DECK 82.00mm To suit bore size of 82mm (Piston weight 270 grams) Compression height 1.110” (For use with long rod) Top ring - 1mm Second ring - 1.2mm Oil ring - 2.8mm Part No - PXF - 821110
PUSHROD AND TWIN CAM 1600cc BLOCK SAVER PISTONS Block saver pistons - we now carry 83.75mm piston kits. This gives a .010” hone up to make use of those worn 83.50mm cylinder blocks. The 83.75mm gives you a total engine size of 1603cc which I think would pass for legal in most Historic Racing groups ...... But don’t quote me.

There are a number of extra’s that can be added to CP pistons, as shown below. 

Price is per piston - Low friction piston skirt coating .........          $ 22.50

Ceramic coating to  piston crown........                                       $ 22.50

CARRILLO say - “ Nearing our 50th anniversary, the name Carrillo is synonymous with connecting rods. Carrillo has won more races in virtually every format of motor sports than any rod manufacturer in the world. We focus on providing industry-leading products and performance while maintaining the highest level of customer service. Proudly made in USA” In our opinion - It has ben two decades since we purchased the first set of Carrillo rods. At the time we thought they were an amazing product compared to what was available from other manufactures. Now 20 years on the competition has come a long way, however Carrillo for us are still the first choice every time.

The 4.826” long rod in standard width journal will fit the 1500 Pre x/flow and 1558 twin cam.  It is .026” longer than the standard factory rod which puts the piston close to the top of the bore. This creates a tighter squish area helping with combustion.

Part No -  CARR-4826 

The 5.230” long Narrow journal rod has been used in most racing Cosworth BD motors.  This long rod combined with our short deck piston makes for a very strong short motor.  This extra length gives a better rod to stroke ratio of 1.826 compared to 1.685 of the standard rod.  Less rod angularity gives the crank an easier life and in effect slows the piston in and out of TDC allowing better fuelling at high rpm.

Part No -  CARR-523

A wide journal 5.230” long rod is available to order to work with the standard crank and wide pin steel cranks.                                                                                                                                    Part No -  CARR-520W

KENT X/FLOW PISTON SET 83.5mm X/flow piston set used with the standard crank and rods makes for a very useable 1700cc motor. With a pair of DCOE carbs and modest cam a good torque 150hp is available. Unlike the standard crossflow pistons these are made with symmetrical valve reliefs so any piston will fit in any bore. The chamber size in the piston will give 10:5cr with the early X/flow shallow chamber head or 12.0cr with later flat head. Piston valve reliefs are .300” deep and will accept valve dia sizes to 1.625” inlet 1.440” exhaust Part No - XF - 835174
