Quick facts
- Part: Sealed H868CP engine piston
- Fits: the 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro V8 5.7L and other vehicles
- Material: Hypereutectic
- Condition: New
Oil burning, heavy blow-by or lost power can mean worn pistons or rings, but worn valves or seals can give similar symptoms. With the engine apart and cool, a first check is to look over the cylinder walls for scoring and measure each bore against the size in the specifications. A compression or leak-down test is a job for a shop.
Fits
Chevrolet, Cadillac and Pontiac V8 5.7L models are on the application list, including the 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS V8 5.7L and the 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette V8 5.7L. A V8 takes eight pistons, one for each cylinder. If your car is not named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
