Max Moritz/Deep Pockets S-Cams

[Eric Shea]

Has anyone ever cut deeper pockets in a set of Max Moritz pistons for use with S-Cams? I currently have three options for building my 3.0/3.2 MFI motor:

1. JE's for 3.0 with 9.5:1. Haven't heard great things about JE's but it's still debatable. (noisey/expansion rate etc...) $1k

2. Mahle Max Moritz 3.2's with 9.8:1. Just need to figure out if there's enough material there to cut deeper pockets for the S-Cams. Around $1k used?

3. Mahle 3.2 RSR Pistons. Compression ratio would be reduced enough by using with the SC heads to allow for streetable CR (I'd like 9.8:1). Don't have actual CR figures though. Has anyone ever done this? Thoughts on what the CR might be? $3k plus! ouch (talk about deep pockets).

Thanks for any input... the pistons are the great abyss I need to cross before moving forward on this engine. It seems as though everything is dependent on them.

Mahle has some new distributors now, the one in Dallas offered a price several hundred dollars lower than Andial FWIW

JE Pistons are fine - they are excellent quality...

Wayne, can you get Mahle Max Moritz 98mm sets? If so, how much?

Thanks,

I hate to bump my own post, but also don't want Wayne to miss this question.
