mahle piston kit

[Ennio]

Hello I´ve been offered a Mahle piston and liner kit (063 24 90) and I wanted to know if it will fit my gtv2.0 (alfetta-gtv, engine code AR01655*106686*) The guy isn´t sure if it comes with rings and pins, I guess it does. any help appreciated-

Thanks

I have only experience with Mahle race pistons for the V6 2.5. These were very nicely made forged type with very high compression ratio. Pin and ring sizes were different from original and were included in the kit, otherwise it would have been un usable. The compression ratio was about 12-12.5, so nothing for the road!

According to my knowledge, without knowing this kit, they also made race pistons for the Nord engine. I would expect that rings and pins are included and that the compression ratio is very high=un usable for the road. So in order to adapt these for road use you would need to measure CR and machine of the necessary amount to get down to about 11:1 CR. If you intend to use these for racing, there would be a different consideration. Why not post some photos and inform about the intended use?

The info I provided is the only one I got, I was tempted to buy them as they were at a very good price and resell them, but with no other info I should pass on them. The intended use must be daily driver.
