When used in a 1.6 engine Hepolite pistons will increase the compression ratio to somewhere in the region of 10.7:1 (exact figure will depend on block height, head gasket thickness, etc).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hepolite pistons can be ordered as part number 18647\\110 at \u00a372\u00a0(inc VAT) each.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For further details contact 0208 554 2281 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burtonpower.com\/\"><u>www.burtonpower.com<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<strong><b>ENDS.<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Burton Power is pleased to announce a new Hepolite Piston which has been made exclusively for the company to fit the Ford 1.6-litre\u00a0Crossflow OHV\u00a0Kent Engine <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/10\/17\/burton-power-launches-a-bespoke-hepolite-piston-for-ford-pinto-1-6-litre\/\" title=\"BURTON POWER LAUNCHES A BESPOKE HEPOLITE PISTON FOR FORD PINTO 1.6-LITRE\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
