JASPER® remanufactured gas engines are built to meet or exceed OEM measured standards and have a 3 year/100,000 mile nationwide, transferable parts and labor warranty. Click here for a complete warranty disclosure. Remember, this is a completely remanufactured engine with new wear parts, exacting tolerances and live-run tested reliability.
JASPER-engineered pistons offer a meticulously crafted design that features a smoothly machined and anodized top land and crown. This design not only acts as an effective thermal barrier but also significantly diminishes carbon buildup. Additionally, JASPER’s piston design incorporates a total of 12 extra oil return holes, leading to a remarkable 300% improvement in oil drain back.
This innovation not only curtails oil consumption but also ensures that the oil rings operate without sticking issues. Moreover, JASPER replaces the OEM’s low tension oil ring with a high tension variant, a change that not only minimizes oil consumption but also effectively prevents any occurrence of oil ring sticking.
JASPER remanufacturing advantages include:
- JASPER-engineered pistons include a smooth, fully-machined, anodized top land and crown, providing a thermal barrier and reducing carbon buildup.
- JASPER’s piston design includes additional oil return holes (12 total) to increase oil drain back by 300%, reducing oil consumption and preventing the oil rings from sticking.
- JASPER installs a high tension oil ring, versus the OEM’s low tension design. This reduces oil consumption and prevents the oil rings from sticking.
Issues / Concern:
Anodized top land and crown provides a thermal barrier and reduces carbon build-up.
JASPER-designed piston increases oil return by 300%.
JASPER installs a robust, two-piece 2.0mm oil ring for improved oil control
JASPER uses a steel top ring that includes a PVD coating for longevity and less friction.
Additional accumulator groove is machined into the piston to decrease the pressure between the first and second ring land, preventing the upper (compression) ring from unseating at higher RPMs.
100% installation of synthetic, rubber-based PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) valve stem seals.
JASPER-designed piston with graphite coating helps prevent dry start-up and piston scuffing.
100% installation of upgraded Stellite faced exhaust valves for increased heat resistance and protection against micro-welding.
Valve guides are air gauge tested to verify proper clearance between valve and guide.
100% torque plate honing of engine block, utilizing a torque plate and specially-designed, ARP2000® bolts, provides cylinder wall geometry that matches the cylinder head as a complete running assembly, for improved ring sealing.

An accumulator groove is machined into the piston to decrease the pressure between the 1st and 2nd ring land, preventing the upper (compression) ring from unseating at higher RPMs.
JASPER-designed pistons have a wider graphite-coated skirt than OE to help prevent dry startup and piston scuffing.
JASPER uses a steel top ring that includes a PVD coating for longevity and less friction.
100% installation of high-grade synthetic, rubber-based FKM (fluoroelastomer) valve stem seals to help prevent oil consumption.
100% installation of upgraded Stellite faced exhaust valves for increased heat resistance and protection against micro-welding.
100% torque plate honing, utilizing a torque plate and ARP2000® bolts, provides cylinder wall geometry that matches the cylinder head as a complete running assembly, for improved ring sealing.

Valve guides are air gauge tested to verify proper clearance between the valve and guide.
Thicker, fluoroelastomer polymer-coated Multi-Layer Steel head gaskets are installed on the GDI application, with new head bolts, along with better block and head surface finishes (50-150 Rz), to prevent leaks and maintain the correct compression ratio.
An improved piston skirt profile provides greater stability in the cylinder bore for less wear and better ring sealing.
100% Live-Run Tested, utilizing Data Acquisition with other assessments for your assurance of reliability. These tests include compression, vacuum, oil pressure, actuator, reluctor testing, and blacklight leak testing.
