i was going to use a set years ago, becuase mahle were clients of mine before the australian operation went broke and closed down, they offered to give me a set of 8.5CR pistons, with the coating, etc to use, but becuase the CR was too high, i didnt take them. they dont make a CR to suit the RB series engine lower than 8.5. Hope this helps

I know ACL pistons & Mahle are a group production. I wonder if ACL pistons(products) had taken them over.(brought the business) or vice versa Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ordered 2 sets from Mahle for my stroker and both sets come with Pistons out of weight tolerance. 7 Grams for one and 5.6 for another. Cocksuckers as far as I am concerned. For the twin cam head I like CP's and Weiscos.
