The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Top land height has been decreased to reduce emissions. Piston skirts are coated with a solid lubricant for scuff resistance. Connecting rod is forged steel with a fractured connecting rod cap design. The connecting rod is also equipped with a squirt hole and attaches to the piston with a full floating pin retained by lock rings.
