Mahle MS Piston Set SBC 388ci 4.060in Bore 3.750in Stroke 6.0in Rod .927 Pin 6cc 12.2 CR Set of 8

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, recognized for their commitment to precision and performance. This Mahle MS Piston Set is built for Chevrolet Small Block engines, specifically designed for a 388 cubic inch displacement with a 4.060-inch bore. If you're looking to build a high-performance engine, these pistons are a solid choice for achieving a 12.2:1 compression ratio, making them ideal for naturally aspirated or forced induction applications where power is the priority.

These pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its strength and durability under high stress. This forging process creates a well-built piston that can handle the increased cylinder pressures associated with higher compression and performance tuning. The set includes pistons with a 6cc dome volume, a 3.750-inch stroke compatibility, and a 6.0-inch rod length requirement, along with a standard .927-inch wrist pin. Each piston weighs approximately 474 grams, contributing to a balanced rotating assembly. This set is for an 8-cylinder engine.

When installing these pistons, remember they are designed for a specific bore size and stroke combination. It's crucial to ensure your connecting rods and crankshaft are compatible with the specified dimensions. Please note that this piston set is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your engine builder or a professional mechanic to confirm compatibility with your specific engine build and to ensure proper installation procedures are followed.
