Detail on 2.0 6-bolt piston
The full lineup
I've searched and found two (2) threads. What's the scoop on these pistons? I found a discussion on the local .org that said Mahle recommends a .002 wall clearance, which is incredibly small if true. The things are more than 50 grams lighter than any other piston I've found full info on, which is huge and could make a big difference in high-rpm reliability. That and they're not much more than most other mainstream pistons on the market. They look like a very attractive package. So why is nobody using them yet?
