It uses Speed of Air Hyperformance pistons, which DFC developed together with Speed of Air for medium duty diesel applications. The piston tops have precise, CNC machined indentations called turbulators, which are often described simply as dimples. According to DFC and Speed of Air, those dimples help the flame front burn closer to the cool metal walls of the combustion chamber, which improves combustion efficiency. DFC says that can mean increased fuel mileage, better drivability and power, and lower operating costs, though results will vary by truck and how you drive it. The pistons also carry an aerospace proven thermal barrier coating on the crowns and an anti friction coating on the skirts, so more heat stays in the combustion process while friction is reduced. Around those pistons you still get the KORE Series build, with Rottler machined tolerances better than OEM, all new bearings and valves, and Total Seal gapless rings as standard. For a 2011-2016 Silverado or Sierra HD owner who wants more than a like for like replacement, this long block gives your LML a smarter set of pistons at KORE Series pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTurbulators And Coatings Engineered Into Every Piston Crown\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DFC Diesel KORE661116LMLSOALB is a remanufactured long block built for 2011-2016 GM Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks with the 6.6L Duramax LML, listed for standard and automatic transmission applications. The Speed of Air Hyperformance pistons use patented turbulator indentations that are CNC machined into the piston top and made to exacting tolerances under ISO 9001 quality standards. These create a thinner, well attached boundary layer between the air fuel mixture, its flame front, and the combustion chamber walls. Speed of Air says this lets the flame burn closer to the cool metal walls, which raises combustion efficiency and supports lower fuel consumption, more torque and horsepower, and better pulling power. The pistons are also coated, with a thermal barrier on the crowns and an anti friction coating on the skirts. The rest of the engine follows DFC's KORE Series process, machined on Rottler equipment to tolerances better than OEM, with all new rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, valves, springs, hardened seats, and cast guides. It includes Total Seal gapless piston rings and improved gasket sealing in common leak areas. The engine ships as a short block with the cylinder heads installed and a complete top end gasket kit, built in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility with a 1 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 GM Silverado\/Sierra 2500HD\/3500HD 6.6L Duramax LML\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with Speed of Air Hyperformance pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel mileage, power, and torque gains are manufacturer claims, results will vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong block with cylinder heads installed and a complete top end gasket kit included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew oil cooler required for warranty coverage, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew air, oil, and fuel filters required for warranty coverage, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew water pump required for warranty coverage, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew lubricating oil required for warranty coverage, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty is void if not installed with the fluids specified by the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not include bolt on components such as valve covers, intake, exhaust, fuel system, or turbo, swap these over from your existing engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not include front cover, rear cover, oil pump, upper or lower oil pan, oil pickup tube, rocker arms, pushrods, or valve bridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer is responsible for professionally testing, cleaning, and replacing injectors, injection pumps, and fuel system as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent brands may vary by build based on parts availability, cannot be specially requested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e$500 shipping charge\/$2,800 core charge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine shipping crate must be returned with core engine for full core credit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty: 1 year, unlimited mileage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbocharger replacement recommended over 125K miles, mandatory if shaft play present or engine was dusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjector replacement highly recommended on higher mileage or contaminated fuel engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvans Waterless Coolant recommended upgrade for corrosion and boilover prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product cannot be shipped to California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.xtremediesel.com\/mm5\/warranty\/DFC_Engines_Owners-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DFC Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54665473589532,"sku":"DDUKORE661116LMLSOALB","price":10675.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/dfc-diesel-long-block-crate-engine-2011-2016-gm-6.6l-lml-duramax-661116lmllb__77436_f83727c6-7796-48c3-b41a-a226e934d20c.webp?v=1791304223","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/dfc-diesel-kore661116lmlsoalb-kore-series-speed-of-air-long-block-std-auto-2011-2016-gm-sierra-silverado-2500hd-3500hd-6-6l-duramax-lml","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
