I am getting ready to rebuild a 2.0 liter four, which happens to have Mahle pistons and cylinders. I know Mahles are really good, and it seems like they would be better than most aftermarket P&C. So, assuming they are in good condition, is it recommended to reuse them? If so, just use new rings? Has anybody here reused theirs in a full rebuild?
This engine is being built for durability for One Lap of America. Suggestions? I know AA P&C have had mixed reviews. If it is not recommended that the Mahles be reused, what is recommended? |

Get the ring lands carefully measured ,wear on the outside of the pistons is usually very obvious to the eye,yep they are great pistons so if good you can get the barrels honed and pistons reringed ,get the best rings you can buy and you will be golden (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
