Sealed Power Engine Piston Set P/N:H273CP 20
Sealed Power H273CP 40 engine piston for the 1982-1992 Ford Mustang V8 5.0L and other vehicles turns combustion pressure into force on the connecting rod. This oversize set of Sealed Power cast pistons is made from hypereutectic material, so match the bore size listed under Specifications.
Worn pistons can show up as oil burning, low compression or more blow-by. Worn rings, scored cylinder walls or tired valve stem seals can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying. The V8 takes eight pistons, one per cylinder.
These Sealed Power pistons are listed for a wide range of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln models, including the 1983-1988 Mercury Cougar V8 5.0L and the 1983-1988 Ford Thunderbird V8 5.0L. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
