Mahle MS Piston Set SBC 358ci 4.030in Bore 3.500stk 6.000in Rod .0927in Pin -2cc 10.8 CR Set of 8

If you're building a high-performance Small Block Chevy engine and need a solid set of pistons to handle the power, this Mahle MS Piston Set is a well-built option. Designed for a 357 cubic inch displacement with a 4.030-inch bore and a 3.500-inch stroke, these pistons are engineered to work with a 6.000-inch connecting rod and a 0.927-inch pin. They feature a flat-top design with a -2.4cc dish, which helps achieve a 10.8:1 compression ratio when paired with the right cylinder heads and gasket combination.

Mahle uses 4032 aluminum for these pistons, a material known for its strength and durability, especially under high temperatures and pressures common in performance applications. This alloy offers good thermal expansion properties, helping to maintain proper piston-to-wall clearance as the engine heats up. The pistons weigh in at 376 grams each, contributing to a well-balanced rotating assembly, which is crucial for engine longevity and smooth operation at higher RPMs. This set includes all eight pistons needed for a V8 engine.

Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and reliability, ensure your engine assembly is balanced by a professional. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific clearance and assembly details.
