Exhaust is more critical as the piston and valve are moving opposite directions. The compression ratio will increase to about 121 which is beyond pump gas range unless you rebuild the engine and use the 2009 up style pistons.
We explain the science of why.
2015 57 hemi piston to head clearance. Piston Compression Ring Groove Clearance Production-Top Groove 0030-0070 mm 00012-00027 in Piston Compression Ring Groove Clearance Production- 2nd Groove 0040-0080 mm 00015-0003 in 2001 MarineIndustrial. Bore size a smaller bore like a ford mod motor at 3550 can run a tighter clearance. I have ran them down to 025 no issues.
Piston to wall a loose piston requires more clearance. Also rod type and bearing clearances loose motors require looser clearances. Granted ive only built one mopar hemi my own done several 814ci for IHRA ford.
The head gasket is either 027 inch on the 57 or 040 inch on the rest of the Gen IIIs which equals the minimum clearance so you only need 030-inch clearance. Piston Pins Although the piston pin doesnt require much oil for lubrication it does require some and that can be an issue. Since piston clearance plays such a big part in piston-to-head clearance it is possible to run a piston-to-head clearance tighter than 0040-inch if you feel brave.
Quench is the distance between the piston and cylinder head when the piston is at top dead center TDC. Ultimately it can be thought of as piston to head clearance. The distance includes the piston to deck clearance and head gasket compressed thickness.
Sometimes referred to as squish quench is responsible for forcing the air-fuel mixture. 345 Dodge and Chrysler 57 Hemi Pistons Wiseco Chrysler Dodge 57 Hemi Piston Features. Forged pistons made from high strength 2618 Alloy.
Will not shatter like hypereutectic or cast pistons. Strong strutted skirt is specially designed to run at as little as 004 clearance with excellent skirt wear and minimal noise or rock. Myths Mysteries and Misconceptions Explained.
October 27 2017 by John Baechtel. Piston-to-wall clearance is a crucial measurement for any engine and different applications can require wildly different specs. We explain the science of why.
Among the shiny objects that emerge from a new box of high-performance. Ive run that tight with very light winston cup pistons in a 383 but my heavier nitrous pistons in my 434 all but kiss the heads with 040 clearance. I can read the part number from the piston in the carbon on the bottom of the head.
It wipes off so its not actually touch. You havent mentioned camshaftPTVC piston to valve clearance can be a bit tricky when doing this even with the 074 cometic gasket. Make sure all your components like each other.
08 RTCharger Stock bottom end 57. LMI TRUE CAI eagle intake 61 injectors. That sounds a little low to me.
I run 125 clearance on the intake any less and it puts a shiny mark on the piston. Exhaust is more critical as the piston and valve are moving opposite directions. I run 150 minimum but I like to have 200 if I can.
Ken Sitko Nov 19 2007. 2006 decommissioned police charger w57 Hemi – Black – 2013 project car dropped valve seat – daughters daily driver. I too would clean those marks up and run the pistons.
As long as that head is getting looked at which it seems like it is. If that is the case the piston to valve clearance is even less now. Did you get thicker.
The 2009–present Eagle head is a nice choice but will require a fair amount of changes either a 61 64 or 2009 up 57 intake. The compression ratio will increase to about 121 which is beyond pump gas range unless you rebuild the engine and use the 2009 up style pistons. Examples include resurfacing the deck of the cylinder block or cylinder head going to a thinner head gasket increasing the ratio of the rocker arms or installing a high-lift camshaft.
Opinions may vary between piston and valve manufacturers but a popular consensus is a minimum clearance of 080-inch for the intake and 100-inch for the exhaust. 2 Jul 8 2016. Ok guys so I read a HOTROD mag article saying the eagle heads on an early 57 with srt headers srt intake and right cam would yield rwhp.
I have the intake injectors and complete srt manifolds and cats. I came across a cheap set of heads. They boast 111 comp with this set up and a 0075 head gasket.

We recommend K1 Technologies 57 61 Hemi Rods and K1 Stroker cranks for use with these piston kits. Second ring end gaps do not need extra clearance. Dyno and track testing has shown that 34 degrees or less total ignition timing makes the best HP and time.
Excessive spark advance lean fuel mixture or too much compression for the fuel and cam used will make heat sufficient to butt piston rings with as much as 060 ring end gap. Removing the head on this rt in less than 30 minutesCool surprise when i removed the headIf youre hemi engin gets blown because of the valve seats coming. So it all finally comes down to one possible solution.
The 57 Hemi engine is known to have a sensitivity to the condition of the oil. Chrysler has recommended the 5W-20 oil for the 57 Hemi engines. With this water-thin oil in a V8 engine the oil can splash off of the crank and travel up to the cam easier.
Compression ratios for the 57L are calculated at 003 deck clearance and a 3941 head gasket ID with a 028 compressed thickness. Compression ratios for the 61L are calculated at 003 deck clearance and a 4100 head gasket ID with a 040 compressed thickness.
