Recognize this piston logo?
 
I've had someone, or folks before say this is Max Moritz, but I can't find this logo anywhere attached to the name in a Google Image search. I've searched JE, Wiseco, Max Moritz, Mahle.

It's a 98mm flat top for my 3.2.

What do you guys say?? :confused:

Looks like a Mahle orientation mark.

Tippy 01-27-2017 04:51 AM

I even did a reverse image lookup, and no dice....:confused:

Looking at the piston top that has to be the 3.4 mahle set. Nice parts.

Lite, thank you!

The C's are Mahle.

Can't say what your pistons are, but this is a photo of my 98mm, Mahle Max Moritz pistons (9.8:1) from a couple of years ago...

You know the weights?

Squiggle line = side towards the flywheel.

Look inside for casting numbers.

All 6 have unique 3-digit numbers acid-etched.

JustTheTIPpy, you've probably already figured this out, butt to add to what Bruce said, the squiggle represents the crankshaft and the rectangle at the end of the squiggle represents the flywheel.

Tippy 01-27-2017 10:37 AM

Yeah, yeah, I get it. I thought it was a company logo at 1st.

Need to weigh them. Weiner and Schmidt both told me to keep RPM to 6750, as MM pistons are heavy.

Since these appear plain Mahle's, maybe they're lighter?

7k sounds good to me if safe!

Ohhh, it's a "logo" alright; a logo that sez "yo' dumbazz, this side toward flywheel"! :D

Didn't weigh them, but I've seen reference to 490g. I think they are a touch heavier than stock 95mm, but they are bigger (forged, too).

I would hope the Mahle MM pistons are forged since they'd be replacing original forged pistons? At least that's what i've gathered from the Porsche tech info
