Piston Tapering
I am wondering if this is something I should pursue before I build my short block. 96 12v p pumped engine going in a 2.5 puller. Mahle# 930036535 pistons
I had the machine shop set the PTW at .0065, which is the loose end of mahles specs.
After doing more and more research this seems a little tight? These pistons already have a taper that is visible to the eye. I have a machine shop at work, and can easily taper them. Does anyone have any specs on how much to taper and such?
The truck is strictly a puller.
Thanks for any input!
