Mahle OE Nav/Frd 95MM/3.740 Bore 4.5L VT275 Maxxforce 5 Piston Set (Set of 6)

This is a set of six Mahle OE pistons designed for Navistar and Ford 4.5L VT275 Maxxforce 5 diesel engines. These pistons are crucial for your engine's combustion process, converting the force of expanding gases into rotational motion that powers your vehicle. Mahle OE is a well-known name in engine components, and this set is built to meet the original equipment specifications for your specific engine.

Each piston in this set measures 95mm (3.740 inches) in bore diameter. They are constructed from durable materials chosen for their ability to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found within a diesel combustion chamber. The design is focused on efficient combustion and proper sealing against the cylinder walls, which is key for maintaining engine performance and longevity. Because these are a set of six, they are intended for a complete engine rebuild where all pistons are replaced simultaneously to ensure consistent performance across all cylinders.

When undertaking a diesel engine rebuild, using pistons that match the original specifications is important for proper fit and function. This set from Mahle OE is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should install without requiring modifications, assuming all other engine components are within spec. It's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's service manual for the complete rebuild procedure and any specific installation notes related to piston installation, such as ring gap settings and lubrication.
