Diamond forged pistons for Chevrolet Gen V LT1 / LT4
Choose a 8-piston kit to suit your measured engine and planned rotating assembly. The selector identifies the catalogue bore, piston crown volume, nominal compression ratio where published, and supplied gudgeon-pin option.

Made to order and delivery
These pistons are supplied by BBT as special-order, made-to-order items. Allow approximately 5–6 weeks for delivery, pending Australian customs processing time.

Fitment and assembly
For Gen V direct-injection LT1/LT4 builds with the listed crank, rods and bore. Confirm your head, fuel-injection crown geometry and block/sleeve specification. Stroker kits require the matching crankshaft. Gen II LT1 engines use a different piston design.
Catalogue bores are finished cylinder-bore sizes. The finished compression ratio depends on chamber volume, deck clearance and compressed head-gasket thickness. Have your engine builder verify piston-to-wall clearance, ring gaps, pin fit and piston-to-valve clearance using the supplied Diamond instructions before machining or assembly.
BBT workshop support
