What does '.040 w/ PC' mean for these pistons?

The '.040' indicates that these pistons are 0.040 inches undersize compared to the standard bore diameter. 'PC' refers to 'Piston Cooling', a feature designed to manage heat within the cylinder.

Are the piston rings included with this set?

Yes, this Mahle OE piston set comes with the piston rings already mounted on each piston. The set also includes the necessary piston pins and clips.

What is the benefit of expansion-controlled designs in pistons?

Expansion-controlled designs allow for tighter piston-to-cylinder wall clearances. This helps to reduce engine noise, minimize wear, lower emissions, and improve overall oil control.

Product Details

Mahle is one of the largest OE piston manufacturers globally, known for making parts that meet original equipment specifications. This piston set is built to those same standards for a range of Ford 6.8L SOHC 10-cylinder engines from 1997 to 2001, including models like the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford Excursion. These pistons are crucial for the proper functioning of your engine, helping to control oil consumption and reduce wear.

This set includes ten pistons that are .040 inch undersize, meaning they are slightly smaller than the standard bore size to account for wear or for a specific rebuild specification. They feature compensated ring grooves designed to ensure correct ring loading and effective oil control, along with expansion-controlled designs. This helps maintain tight clearances, which in turn reduces engine noise, wear, and emissions while improving oil management. For your convenience, these pistons come ready for installation with the piston rings already mounted, and the necessary pins and clips are included.
