And you thought a new set of Mahles for your car was expensive..
 

As I still wrestle with whether I go with new p's/c's, I try to keep an eye on Ebay. I stumble on this auction.

I'd probably be looking at $4X00 for a set of 3.4 Mahles, but that ain't nothing:

His comment about this probably being the only set of NOS in the world seems reasonable to me.

Hmm Paul has an interesting past........

I will call my pal at Porsche Motorsports and see what he thinks......


Cheers

I have seen paul try and sell that set up many times

I'm just glad my 917 doesn't need P's and C's! :D

You're a lucky man ;)


PS- I don't know the guy, and I'd not seen these before. I just thought it kinda different to see a set of pistons and cyls for $25K...

will your be driving your 917 to any of the car rally's for the end of the year??

is there a differance between 917 P&C's and just putting 2 sets of 911 P&C's together?

- i thought about taking my 917K out today but it started to rain, darn..SmileWavy

Would'nt it be funny if the only differance in the 917 P&L's was the part number on the box...........I'm sure there is a differance. What is it?

I was under the impression that the 917 12 cly. was basically 2 2.0L placed together I'm sure there is more to it then that but they do ressemble "S" piston's don't they........

Umm... Well I WOULD but those pesky emissions laws mean you'll probably never see it.

I don't have the figures in my mind but your basic 2.0 is not 92 mm bore.

You are correct I guess I was refering to the 917 in it's first setup was it not a 4.0 liter?

Great information John, Thanks. But what is the differance in the pistons & cylinders between the 6 cylinder 90mm and others? Wrist pin size? Piston dome? Cylinder height? Just want to know.
