I was at my local import parts store the other day and asked them about Mahle pistons and cylinders for a 2.0, 914 . They said that they can get 96mm, "big bore" Mahles. I have never heard of these, is there such a thing? If so are they good? what is the compression ratio?

And heads, deck height, etc.. |

And heads, deck height, etc.. I know Mahles = good I'm just surprised to learn that Mahle made a "big bore" 96mm. If that is the case and the price is very reasonable by the way, why are guys using AA pistons or having cylinders bored and using Keith Black pistons when they can get Mahles. Also I've searched this forum and I cant find info and I've never seen 96mm Mahles mentioned. |
