What is included in this piston set?

This Mahle OE piston set includes eight cast pistons, eight piston pins, eight sets of piston clips, and the piston rings are pre-mounted on each piston. This makes them ready for installation right out of the box.

What does '.030' mean for these pistons?

The '.030' indicates that these pistons are 0.030 inches larger in diameter than the original factory pistons. This size is used when the engine cylinders have been bored out to match, typically during an engine rebuild to restore proper compression and seal.

Are these pistons suitable for a performance build?

These are Mahle OE (Original Equipment) quality cast pistons, designed to meet the specifications of the original factory engine. They are well-suited for standard rebuilds and daily driver applications where OE performance and reliability are desired.

Product Details

This Mahle OE piston set comes with eight pistons, each measuring 0.030 inches over stock bore size, ready for your Ford 351W 5.8L engine rebuild. Mahle includes the piston pins, clips, and even the piston rings already mounted, which saves you time and hassle during assembly. These are cast pistons designed for OE quality and performance.

Mahle pistons feature compensated ring grooves to ensure the rings load correctly and control oil, along with expansion-controlled designs. This means they can be installed with smaller clearances, helping to reduce engine noise, wear, and emissions while improving oil control. Mahle is a major OE piston manufacturer, so you're getting parts that meet the original equipment specifications for your Ford truck or car.

This set is a solid option for rebuilding the engine in a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 70s through the early 90s, including popular models like the Ford F-150, Bronco, and E-Series vans. Make sure to check the specific fitment for your vehicle to confirm compatibility.
