Athena 4-Stroke Top End piston kit
Vicenza, Italy based Athena continues its prolific new product introduction programme with this new Top End 4-stroke piston kit.
"Developed with cutting-edge technologies and extremely high-quality materials, this kit includes the Athena forged 4-stroke piston and top gaskets set needed to overhaul the head and the top end. These high-performing components guarantee maximum reliability and allow you to easily replace the piston.
"We have over 40 years of experience researching, developing and testing all the technologies and materials used to make our products, both in-house and on the track. Along with pistons, we also manufacture the compatible gaskets - and it is thanks to this combination that the components of this kit work perfectly together providing an outstanding result."
The 4-stroke off-road forged piston included in the kit "is of extremely high quality and made with cutting-edge computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Produced in silicon-based aluminum alloy, this piston ensures the same reliability as the original and, at the same time, increased resistance and outstanding performance.
"Another distinctive feature of this Athena piston is the sintered molybdenum disulfide coating, which improves sliding, performance, and durability. This coating and the piston rings lead to the further reduction of friction, guaranteeing superior performance.
"Last, but not least, the latest-generation 'Made in Japan' rings that come with the kit have PVD or CrN coatings allowing the piston to perfectly adapt to the cylinder walls. Another noteworthy element is the pin which, made in steel alloy, undergoes special processing to obtain maximum hardness and smoothness.
"The top end gaskets set, on the other hand, includes all the gaskets needed to overhaul the head and the top end of the engine. Athena has an excellent reputation when it comes to the reliability of their gaskets, which is based on solid know-how, constant technological development conducted by the in-house team of engineers and designers, and production executed strictly following all the parameters set by the vehicle manufacturers."
