I am installing new Mahle Piston/Cylinder Set and have a choice of sets; The set on the left is Newer but still NOS, and the set on the right is older by approx 10 years guess OLD NOS, and am curious if anyone knows if there was a differnce in Mahle manufuacturing periods? I.E. hecho en Mexico Mahles?
Or better should I use the calipers and check them and if so what should I look for? wall thickness consistency or roundness or both ect? Thank You, Joe
Full Version: Early Mahle vs. Later Mahle Manufacturing? Or?
I doubt you should worry about Mexico or China, I would worry more about W vs E Germany.

Looking at it that way I bet the older set is prior to the wall coming down... but what side of the wall// ?

I could tell you the East Side and try to get the P&Cs for cheap, but it's gonna be the West Side.
It is doubtful that they have changed the metallury, maybe the manufacturing process, but not the metallury.
