Fletcher, NC…May 10, 2017– MAHLE Motorsports has been active for some time now providing important technical information with their Technical Tuesday’s Facebook video posts. One of the more popular of them is measuring piston to bore clearance.
The first thing customers need to do is access MAHLE Motorsports’ 2017 Application Guide, which can be found online here, with a link to download the pdf. Once the specific application is located, the part #’s are on the far right side of the page, and just to the left of the part # is the measuring point, indicating where to measure on the piston. Using the proper measuring point is vital to ensure accuracy as each MAHLE Motorsport piston has a unique profile to it, designed so that the piston is at the optimal size under operating temperatures.
