Mahle OE Ford IHC T444E Navistar 445 V8 7.3L Direct Injection Turbo Piston Set (Set of 8)

Mahle OE offers a complete set of eight pistons for your Ford, IHC, or Navistar T444E/445 V8 7.3L direct injection turbo diesel engine. These pistons are built to the same specifications as the original equipment, ensuring a proper fit and function for your rebuild. If you're diving into the heart of your engine, having well-made pistons is crucial for reliable performance and longevity.

What sets these Mahle pistons apart is their attention to detail in design. They feature compensated ring grooves, which means the grooves are designed to ensure the piston rings are loaded correctly. This is key for maintaining good oil control and preventing blow-by. The pistons also have expansion-controlled designs, allowing for tight, but not binding, clearances within the cylinder bore. This reduces engine noise, minimizes wear, helps control emissions, and further improves oil management. Mahle is a major OE piston manufacturer, so you're getting a part that meets the high standards required for original equipment.

For your convenience, these pistons come ready to install with the piston rings already mounted. The necessary pins and clips are also included, saving you time and effort during your engine build. This makes the assembly process smoother, allowing you to focus on getting your engine back on the road with confidence. This set fits a wide range of Ford Super Duty trucks and vans from the mid-90s through the early 2000s, including models like the F-250 Super Duty, E-350 Econoline, and Ford Excursion.
