				Mahle 90L61 pistons what are they?
			 
			I have 2 sets of Mahle pistons for 2.7 one has part number 90L58 and the other is 90L61. Am I correct to believe that 90L58 is for Nikasil cylinders? What is 90L61? Thank you

			Dave A 90L58 is a 2.7 CIS 8.5:1 CR piston in Nikasil. I am not sure I've seen a 90L61. If you could post some pics , I can try to identify it.

				90l61
			 
			After further looking into this I believe that 90L61 are Mahle pistons for their Alusil cylinders.
