Picture of Euro piston
I noticed a discussion / questions on Euro pistons (higher compression) some time ago.
This is a picture of a Koblensmidt piston from my 944 - others were fitted with Mahle pistons

Okay, here's a good question:
The piston skirt. Around the wrist pin, this piston is continuous around the bottom. Look at most N/A pistons, they have a big section missing. I have a few USA/CAN/Japan N/A pistons in the basement, only 4 of them have this skirt, the rest don't. Is the skirt only present on the KS pistons?

Burn the fire.

Can you post a pic of a US/ROW piston as well? Possibly a side-by-side comparison?

LOL, good luck finding a set of euro pistons in the right tolerance group for cheap. Most euro pistons are big money and/or hard to find. Thats why I went with the 88, well that and I didnt want to swap DME's
