Thread: Mahle pistons,the coatings

Tweet

Pat the machine shop guy is a cousin to my partner in the race car deal.So I am expected to walk in with the parts so he doesn't have to deal with ordering anything.He's just helping out with the machine work picking up some extra bucks for that work and giving advise.In fact he tried to see the cost of the Mahle's to see if at his cost he could get them cheaper than me.He found them to be $679.00 plus shipping and that was what he was going to charge me.I would pay $693.95 from Competition Products with free shipping.Not any real savings.

Ok abbreviations???.PBM Brand??.Tell the truth,I am not trilled with the low tension Mahle rings on the part number I spoke about.The TRW's on the other hand have a ring pack that is more I think in line with my use.Now the compression ratio is 9.6 with 64cc heads.If only I could get this part number L2256f30's compression ratio under control with maybe 72cc heads,don't deck the block(far as I know it is flat not needing to be cut) and a .040 head gasket,my search for this stroker pistons would be over.So Pat what do you think the compression ratio would be???.

Please and Thank You,

Gary
