OEM Piston for KLZE

Ice Racing · Post by **Ice Racing** » November 21st, 2006, 8:56 am

I am looking for mazda original part number for klze piston. I have to install new ones (oversize). I also want to shave the heads, is 0.0040 too much?

from what i read on probe talk you can shave up to .080 off before its an interferance engine....i think corksport sells the new ZE pistons

mazda did'nt produce OEM oversized pistins so you will have to look
aftermarket for something.

as for shaving 0.004" off, that would not even compensate for a valve
regrind

One guy recently got a ZE rebuild kit from CorkSport and they came with .050 overbore pistons, Mazda OEM

How sure are you that they are not KLZE ? Can anybody check and confirm part number direct application with Mazda ?

Have fun talking to Mazda about a klze. they will have no idea what it even is.

We all know that ze pistons are flat top and de are concave.
