Title: Mahle gudgeon pin replacement Post by: leec on September 24, 2016, 20:11:39 pm I have a really nice set of Mahle stroker B+P's literally 10 miles use.
I bought them and kept them only to find one piston had a gudgeon pin missing. I have a couple of spare gudgeon pins from other Mahle forged pistons. Can I just swap it in to another piston or is it more complicated?

It is good to keep the weight same in all pins. Piston + pin combo weight should be in about 1 gramm in all sets. Title: Re: Mahle gudgeon pin replacement Post by: leec on September 24, 2016, 20:57:40 pm Yep, wrist pin ;D

Was always aware of match weighing, just didn't know if you could grab pins from other piston sets Lee |
