Mahle or KS in ROW motors

Do ROW motors use Mahle cylinders only or do use either Mahle of KS, Thanks Jerry

My '80 ROW SC uses KS P&C's (930/09, 8.6:1 CR) I believe the later 9.8:1 CR 930/10 motors were forged Mahle pistons and Nikasil cylinders

They were mixed in the 3.0 SC motors, but most ROW 3.2's received Mahle Nikasil ones.

I'm guessing the mix on 3.0 row's was the earlier models up to 80 had the KS etc. and at the change over to the '81 930-10 they went to M/N ?

Have a look at your cylinders and see which ones you got.

^^^ You'll know pretty quick by getting under your car and observing the fins.
