Official GMM hand model
I went to the shop today to pick up my motor. I'm told that the pistons have a 11 gram differance from high to low weight.... Geez... Thats what I told them when I gave them everything to balance. The rods are all at 1272 plus or minus about 3/4 gram but the new Mahle pistons vary from 1216 to 1227.5. Thats way too much to remove from the pistons. So I may be calling Mahle tomorrow and finding out *** is going on here. The 2 pistons are 1216 grams and 1218 grams so if I can get 2 pistons that weigh around 1226 grams I would be set. I'm thinking fat chance on that. Any thoughts on what to do??? I do have the other set that was in the motor when it burned down. Four pistons are scuffed and 4 are ok. I just don't want 2 pistons with 5200 miles on them in a new motor.....
