These were packed in the trunk of my project car. Since the car had a rebuilt engine I figured these parts were toast and ready for the recycler. However, when I unpacked them and took a closer look they appear to be in very good shape. The cylinders have no scoring or glazing, except for #1 which has 2 hairline scratches that you can't detect with a fingernail.
The pistons have some very minor scuffing at the skirts, no more than you'd expect from normal running. Each piston face has a very small nick, about 1/8" where it apparently came into contact with the valve - not a structural or operational problem. The pistons are stamped Mahle and the face is marked 93.97, which I take to mean 94mm. Pistons and cylinders are marked to match them up as original.
I was going to take these things to the recyclers but after checking them out I'd just as soon see them get put to use. I have no idea what they're worth so I'll just put them up for offers, if any. Figure a flat $25 for shipping. Since the rules say I have to put a price on FS items, let's start it out at $1.

oh yeah, I've also got valves, lifters and springs that look almost new that I'll throw into the package.
