KB uses a different method of ring land design for SEALING THEIR RINGS. The Squishie piston is entirely different than a KB, due to the dome shape and design on the crown of the piston. This enhances the quench in the combustion chamber.

KB pistons are great for daily drivers and spirited performance engines. They are better for street use than any forged piston. they burn less oil and rattle less when the engine first starts. They do require a minimum skirt clearance or .0018 and most of the kits available have too tight of clearances out of the box. thats why we bore and hone our own cylinders.
