Piston Pins

Piston pins—also called wrist pins—are a critical link between the piston and connecting rod, transferring combustion forces while allowing the piston to pivot. They operate under extreme heat, pressure, and cyclic loading, so material, fit, and surface finish directly affect engine reliability and performance.

  • Available in multiple diameters, lengths, and wall thicknesses to match specific pistons and rods
  • Common materials include case-hardened 5115 steel, 4130 chromoly, and tool steel for high-strength applications
  • Surface treatments such as gas nitriding, DLC (diamond-like carbon), or WPC (micro shot peening) reduce friction and wear
  • Sold individually or in complete engine sets—verify quantity needed before ordering

This collection spans everything from stock-replacement pins to lightweight, high-strength options for forced induction, nitrous, or high-rpm builds. For advice on measuring your existing pins or selecting the right wall thickness for your power goals, reach out to our tech team.
