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

Mahle is one of the largest original equipment piston manufacturers globally, known for producing parts that meet strict factory specifications. This piston set is designed for the Ford, IHC, and Navistar T444E and 445 V8 7.3L Powerstroke direct injection diesel engines. If you're rebuilding the heart of your truck, these pistons are built to the same standards as the ones that came from the factory, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance.

These pistons feature compensated ring grooves, which help ensure the piston rings load correctly and maintain good oil control. They also use an expansion-controlled design. This means they're built with small fitting clearances, which helps reduce engine noise, minimize wear, and keep emissions in check while also improving oil management. For your convenience as an engine builder, Mahle includes these pistons with the piston rings already mounted, along with the necessary pin and clips, so they're ready to go right out of the box.

This set includes eight pistons, enough for a complete engine overhaul on your V8 diesel. They are designed for direct injection systems commonly found in a wide range of Ford Super Duty trucks, E-Series vans, and Excursions from the mid-90s through the early 2000s, including models like the Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford E-350 Econoline, and Ford Excursion. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
