OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - raysorenson - 09-09-2020 https://www.dieselmercedes.com/Forged_Performance_Engine_Piston_Kit_w_Rings_Set_p/4632-m67tp-n.htm Anyone have experience with these? Is it just me or do they look like hemi or pentroof dome pistons with 4 valve reliefs? Definitely a major departure from the stock pistons. RE: OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - baldur - 09-09-2020 The pistons pictured do not fit an OM617. They are in fact petrol engine 4 valve pistons, not diesel. RE: OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - raysorenson - 09-10-2020 The response to my e-mail was yes, stock photo and nobody has used the piston yet. I asked if it had the double wall below the combustion chamber for enhanced oil cooling that the stock pistons have. I got an "I'll check". RE: OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - baldur - 09-11-2020 No forged pistons have any such voids in them. It's not possible to manufacture something like that in a forging process. RE: OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - NZScott - 09-11-2020 Solution looking for a problem? Aren't the rods the first thing to go? RE: OM617 turbo CP-Carrillo forged pistons - barrote - 09-15-2020 Haha... MB start using forged pistons some 50years ago... They are forged in 2 stages and then friction welded... also rings recess got to be from steel in diesels... Not saying it wont hold...
