Sealed Power Chrome Piston Ring Sets
Sealed Power chrome piston ring sets are noted for their high wear-resistance and low cylinder wear. The face of the top rings in these sets is electroplated with hard chromium to provide a surface that's resistant to abrasive wear. This face coating will not flake off, even when exposed to high vibration and detonation. Being harder and less porous than a moly ring, chrome rings provide increased life in engines that are operated in dusty or dirty environments. Chrome coatings are used mainly on top rings where mechanical and thermal loads are greatest, and on oil rings that have a particularly high unit pressure. With the load levels of modern internal combustion engines ever increasing, there's often a need to improve the thermal and/or mechanical load-carrying capacity of piston rings—and chrome is one solution. These piston rings are available in a wide range of bore sizes and thicknesses for applications from the 1940s and up. Features and benefits of Sealed Power chrome piston ring sets: * Increased wear resistance in dirty air conditions * Exacting tolerances * Meets or exceeds OEM specifications * State-of-the-art manufacturing * Recommended for use on dirt tracks and for off-road racing

Continental OE Technology Series V-belts
When oil, heat, and abrasion combine to weaken most standard accessory belts, Continental OE Technology Series V-belts will still be going strong. Continental V-belts have inherited tough construction characteristics: EPDM rubber compounds, high-strength Vytacord tension members, fiber reinforced helical cogs, and high-traction rubber edges. These features provide higher heat and abrasion resistance, no-slip contact with pulley grooves, a great fit, and improved flexibility—to deliver consistent, efficient performance, mile after mile. Belts wear and need replaced; get more for your buck with longer-lasting Continental OE Technology Series V-belts, available for a wide range of vehicle-specific applications.

Dayco High Performance V-Belts
Dayco High Performance V-belts deliver more flexibility and increased airflow around the accessory drive belt, so they run cooler and last longer than most competitive belts. Dayco was one of the first to develop raw edge sidewall construction, which facilitates controlled slippage around pulleys. This feature ensures the superior performance that drivers demand from their vehicle. The V-belts' three plies of neoprene-impregnated fabric resist heat, oil, and grease. A specially formulated treatment of the polyester cord provides the strength, stability, and reliability that's required within the standards of today's industry.

Kanter Engine Valves
Kanter engine valves provide tangible gains in an engine's power, efficiency, and lifespan by strategically improving how air and fuel enter and exit the cylinder. Engine valves are one of the engine's most critical components, as they must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, hitting impacts and loads during their lifetime. Because the operating temperatures of the intake and exhaust valves are highly different, various materials, structures, and manufacturing methods are required and implemented for each type of valve. Kanter's valve lineup includes various processes, such as forging, machining, welding, nitriding, and specialty coatings, that provide strength and durability. Select the engine valves tailored for your application needs.
