Answer


JE Logo

You’ll find the JE logo laser-etched underneath the crown of every JE piston manufactured since 2004. In most cases, this logo is placed on the same side as the exhaust valve pockets. However, note that this is not always the case. If there is an “INT” or “EXH” laser marking on the crown indicating which valve pockets are which, always follow these markings, and don’t assume the JE logo is on the exhaust side. Note: Parts with optional undercrown milling may have the logo removed.

INT/EXH Laser Marking

Your pistons may have a laser marking on the crown spelling “INT” or “EXH.” INT stands for intake, and EXH stands for exhaust. These markings indicate which valve pockets correspond with either the intake or exhaust valves. For example, if INT is marked on one side of the piston, that indicates the piston should be installed so the valve pockets on that side of the piston are in-line with the intake valves. These markings are commonly used in opposing 4-valve designs, because there is no size difference in the valve reliefs to allow for easy delineation between intake and exhaust valve pockets.

Forging Number

This number ONLY identifies the raw forging that was used to manufacture the piston. A large variety of bore sizes, compression heights and other design features can be applied to a single forging. A part number or job number is needed to get information or to be able to order pistons. Forging numbers cannot be used to provide information.

Part Number

On off-the-shelf catalog pistons, the part number is a 6-digit number identifying the specific application the piston is for. You can use this number to re-order pistons, or identify what the pistons you have are for. You will not find this number on custom pistons.

Job Number

Job numbers are found on both custom and shelf pistons. This is a 6 or 7-digit number, and can be used to assist in reordering, identify what the piston was designed for, and aid in locating replacement components, such as wrist pins, locks, and rings.

Offset Pin Indication

If your pistons were designed with offset pins, there will be a laser marking underneath the crown of the pistons indicating the direction of the offset. Offsets are typically set away from rotation. The marking is an arrow, with either “LT,” “RA,” “LA,” or “RT” marked inside it.

Toward or away references toward or away from the intake valve pocket(s). Left and right refers to the engine bank the piston should be installed. In situations where the engine does not have a left and right bank, the “L” and the “R” can be disregarded.

"FRONT" with Arrow on Piston Crown

Some pistons may have a laser marking on the crown of the piston to indicate which direction the piston should be installed. “FRONT” with an arrow shape, or just an arrow shape, means that the marking should be pointing to the front of the engine, when the piston is installed.

"RIGHT" and "LEFT" Crown Markings

Some non-inline engine configurations have pistons have right and left specific pistons. Simply put, pistons marked with “RIGHT” go in the right bank, and pistons marked with “LEFT” go in the left bank. Left and right bank references are assumed to be from the driver’s perspective, NOT facing the front of the car. For transverse mounted engines, left bank refers to the left side when standing on the flywheel side, looking toward the crank pulley. This also applies to longitudinal mounted engines.
