Product Details

Mahle's MS Piston Set is built for Ford Modular 4.6L 2-valve or 4-valve engines, specifically for the 281 cubic inch displacement. These pistons feature a 3.551 inch bore and a 0cc combustion chamber volume, designed to achieve an 11.9:1 compression ratio. The stroke is listed at 3.543 inches, with a rod length of 5.933 inches and a .866 inch pin diameter, making them a well-built option for engine rebuilds.

Each piston weighs in at 392 grams, a detail that matters for engine balance and performance. The forged construction means these pistons are strong and can handle the demands of a performance-oriented engine build. Mahle has engineered these pistons with a specific dish volume to achieve that 11.9 CR, which is crucial for tuning your engine's power output. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

This set includes all eight pistons needed for a complete engine rebuild. It's important to ensure your specific engine application is compatible with these specifications before ordering. For a successful installation, always refer to the manufacturer's detailed instructions and consider consulting with a professional mechanic.
