Was recommended these pistons by a machine shop...

Wondering if anyone has heard of them and used them...

Yeah do a search on my SN and Mahle....

GREAT PISTONS

Bret

 

Yea, they made the pistons in your engine .

 

Sorry, Guy made them sound rare and I didnt even think to search or any of that....

 

Its like a lot of manufacturers.... they make a wide range of pistons from "cheap" hypereutectics (i.e. - the stock LT1 pistons, made in Brazil) to very high quality high end forged pistons..

 

Very nice pistons. They have a short wrist pin also. Nice lightweight with an anti friction coating. Also the same price as a set of JE and the mahle pistons come with rings!! Its a very high reccomendation from my engine builder also. He has built many engines with these pistons and he raves about them and so do the customers!!

 

Hmmmmmm I wonder why so many engine builders like them?

Because they are a steal, they are well made and they make more HP!

Anytime I can use a off the shelf Mahle I do.

They come factory from every thing from an LT1 to LS6's, C5R's and vipers. They are very good pistons.

 

They are also the standard brand of pistons that come in Mercedes Benz engines.I think that is where they got there start. All three of my older MB have them in their engines.

 

Ford also uses them in the 03/04 Cobra's. And in case you didn't know, there's people running 9's on the stock bottom end's.

 

Definately.. Bitchin pistons, cheaper than JEs close to the same price as SRPs but the come with the ring pack.
