Mahle is one of the leading manufacturers of OE products in the world. Maruha Motors created this 86mm piston which is suitable after machining the stock BP engine block.
Here are some examples of what these pistons are capable of achieving.
Stock Crank OR Maruha 85mm Crank + 86mm x 1mm Maruha head gasket
= 10.6 compression ratio / 1974cc displacement
Maruha 87mm Stroker Crank + 86mm x 1.8mm head gasket
= 11.4 compression ratio / 2020cc displacement
(If you require more head resurfacing of up to 20 thou, You can use the Maruha 86mm x 2mm head gasket)
