Description
The MED/Omega forged 998 semi-slipper piston is perfect for high performance small-bore engines, the plus-0.020" particularly successful in the Mini Se7en race series, and plus-0.040" in Ministox and autograss.
CNC machined from lightweight alloy forgings, the pistons have been designed to be as light as possible, at only 236 grams for the 020 including 5/8" pin and rings.
Tech spec
- +0.020" and +0.040" sizes for the 998cc engine
- Super lightweight semi-slipper design
- High strength for full competition usage
- Flat-top crown
- Made in the UK exclusively for MED
- Lightweight 5/8" floating gudgeon pins
Please see the additional information tab for more detail and advice.
For use with either fixed or fully floating pins and supplied with a set of special wire circlips. Spare forged 998 ring sets are also available and in stock.
Supplied as a balanced set of four with gudgeon pins, clips and piston rings, which are also available separately.

Production process
High silicone alloy is first cut to billet size and the faces machined to a smooth finish. Each billet is pre-heated in an air-circulating furnace to a temperature close to the operating temperature of the piston crown, then compressed into a rough shape using Omega's in-house forge and custom-designed dies.
The specific temperature, together with tightly controlled speed of the forging process, gives a dense and very fine grain structure to the piston for high strength and superior fatigue life.
Any excess material is then removed before the forgings are heat-treated and wet blast cleaned. From here each piston is subject to a highly developed process of CNC machining, with constant measurement and quality control checks by experienced perfectionists.
Once final machining is complete, the pistons are engraved with a model and batch number, cleaned and sorted into matched weight sets. It's a time-consuming process to create such a high quality product, but the end results are well worthwhile.
