Product Details

This is a set of eight Mahle MS forged pistons designed for Small Block Chevrolet (SBC) 362 cubic inch engines. These pistons feature a 4.060 inch bore and are built to work with a 3.500 inch stroke crankshaft and 6.125 inch connecting rods. The included wrist pins are 0.927 inches in diameter. Each piston has a dish volume of -8.9cc, contributing to a compression ratio of approximately 12.0:1 to 12.7:1 depending on your cylinder head volume. These are well-built components intended for performance engine builds where strength and reliability are paramount.

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and these MS series pistons are constructed from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its strength and durability under high stress. Each piston weighs in at approximately 413 grams, which is a good balance for performance applications. The design accounts for a 1.125 inch compression height, ensuring proper piston-to-valve clearance and deck height with the specified stroke and rod combination. This set is a solid option if you're rebuilding or upgrading a 362 cubic inch SBC engine and need pistons that can handle increased cylinder pressures and temperatures.

When installing these pistons, it's important to follow the manufacturer's specifications for ring gap, bearing clearance, and piston-to-wall clearance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Remember that this piston set is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the Mahle installation instructions for detailed guidance.
