Mahle MS Piston Set SBF 462ci 4.160in Bore 4.250in Stroke 6.7in Rod .990 Pin -7cc 11.7 CR Set of 8

This Mahle MS Piston Set gives you everything you need to rebuild the heart of your Ford FE 462 cubic inch engine. Inside this box, you'll find a complete set of eight forged pistons, designed to handle the demands of a high-performance build. Each piston is precisely machined for a 4.160-inch bore and features a 4.250-inch stroke compatibility, paired with a 6.700-inch rod length and a 0.990-inch pin. These pistons are crafted from 4032 aluminum, a material known for its strength and durability, especially under high heat and stress. They come with a -7.4cc dish volume, which helps achieve an 11.7 compression ratio when used with the specified stroke and rod length, making them a solid choice for builders aiming for significant power gains.

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, and this piston set reflects their commitment to producing well-built parts. The 4032 aluminum alloy offers improved thermal expansion properties compared to older alloys, meaning the pistons can maintain tighter tolerances as they heat up. This reduces wear and noise, while also contributing to better sealing and overall engine efficiency. Each piston weighs in at approximately 505 grams, a detail that helps in balancing the rotating assembly for smoother operation and reduced vibration, especially important in performance applications. The 0.990-inch pin diameter is standard for many performance applications, ensuring good compatibility with aftermarket connecting rods.

When planning your engine build, remember that this piston set is intended for performance applications and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be shipped to California. For optimal results and longevity, ensure your engine assembly is properly balanced and that you follow the manufacturer's recommended clearances and lubrication procedures. This set is a critical component for anyone looking to extract maximum performance from their Ford FE engine.
