Big Bore Ps & Cs

Post by pauldvern »

Hi,


I have recently acquired this set of pistons & cylinders. They are marked 85.95 and have Mahle numbers underneath. The piston top angle seems to be 10 degrees. Can anyone identify them?

Cheers


Paul

I think you might get a quicker answer on the 356/912 registry

Ps I don't know mahle did 87mm but hopefully an expert will be along soon

Mahle do make 87mm (actually 86.7mm) P&Cs for long-stroke 2.5l but that’s not really relevant to the question

And for flat 4 VW engines but that doesn't help
