Paul Whiffin Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Also the Mahle pistons and Carillo H Beam rods are assembled with the rings (which have been gapped accordingly), installed on the pistons to. We are using Mahle pistons on all of our forged engine builds these days, I personally think they are the best piston on the market at the moment and at a great price to, cant beat the spec of them. http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/mikeh/mahle.jpg http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/mikeh/mahle2.jpg http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/mikeh/mahle3.jpg http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/mikeh/mahle4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
