Ford Six Cylinder Pistons
|
Although the EcoBoost's crank is forged, its direct-injection system and precise engine management computer enable using less exotic powdered metal rods and hypereutectic pistons. The lower thermal expansion rate of the hypereutectic pistons allow running tighter piston-to-wall clearance for reduced blow-by. This also enables Ford to use low-tension rings. View Related Article
