ARIAS PISTONS has been the leader in compact piston technology since our beginnings. While piston suppliers at that time focused mostly on larger-bore domestic V-8’s, ARIAS had the foresight to cater to the smaller-bore, higher-revving, hotter-running imports & domestic compacts.
Today, ARIAS maintains an unmatched advantage in the import and domestic compact market. Over three decades of research and development have led to the ARIAS Sport Compact shelf line.

Ceramic Coating
Are you looking for the best thermal management from your pistons? If so you need advanced ceramic coatings to help protect your pistons! First we apply a dry film lubricant coating to the piston skirts that will help reduce power robbing friction and maintain oil films better than an uncoated skirt (resists galling), we then apply a thermal barrier coating on the piston tops to minimize any hot spots, and to reflect more of the combustion energy into the exhaust stream instead of into the piston. When combined with an oil shedding thermal dispersant coating we put on the underside of the piston, you will have a piston that can run cooler, and last longer than an uncoated version.
Your wrist pins will also get dry film lubrication applied to minimize friction and enhance the way the pin retains oil.
Here is an example of a coated piston and wrist pin with the ceramics package (not an actual Arias piston):
