DFC partnered with Speed of Air on the pistons, which have precise, CNC machined dimples on top called turbulators. According to DFC and Speed of Air, those dimples help the flame front burn closer to the cool walls of the combustion chamber, which improves combustion efficiency. They say that can mean better fuel mileage, more torque and horsepower, and improved drivability and pulling power, though results will vary by truck and how it is driven. The pistons also carry a thermal barrier coating on the crowns and an anti friction coating on the skirts. Around those pistons you still get the full KORE Series build, with Rottler machined tolerances better than OEM, all new bearings, valves, and seals, and Total Seal gapless rings as standard. The engine arrives as a short block with the cylinder heads already installed, so the most demanding part of the rebuild is done before it reaches your shop. For a 2017-2023 Silverado or Sierra HD owner who wants more than a like for like replacement, this long block gives your L5P a smarter set of pistons at KORE Series pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePatented Turbulator Pistons Inside A Rottler Machined Long Block\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DFC Diesel KORE661723L5PSOALB is a remanufactured long block built for 2017-2023 GM Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks with the 6.6L Duramax L5P, listed for standard and automatic transmission applications. It uses Speed of Air Hyperformance pistons, which have patented turbulator indentations CNC machined into the piston top to exacting tolerances under ISO 9001 quality standards. Speed of Air says these indentations create a thinner, well attached boundary layer between the air fuel mixture, its flame front, and the combustion chamber walls. That 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, stem seals, 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, ready for the final buildup. It is built in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and backed by a 1 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 GM Silverado\/Sierra 2500HD\/3500HD 6.6L Duramax L5P\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, ready for the final buildup\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\/manuals\/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":54669756563740,"sku":"DDUKORE661723L5PSOALB","price":12100.6,"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_582e94a0-e139-477e-9671-a78a45eee2ab.webp?v=1791398325","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/dfc-diesel-kore661723l5psoalb-kore-series-speed-of-air-long-block-std-auto-2017-2023-gm-sierra-silverado-2500hd-3500hd-6-6l-duramax-l5p","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
