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

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.

You must have read this post.

cylinder identification

It turns out I have a box full of the 90L61. Now I know what they are.

Thanks
