It is a Mahle piston and has ORT-ED which I thought came on the F6... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91433-what-piston-is-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the small flat circle on the top which certainly the Mahle pistons I used in the past did not.May or may not be accurate Really would need to see it from the other side to tell!

Either my car has an F6 bottom or those ads were incorrect.Not a big deal now though as I will replace rods and pistons with aftermarket.I have attached a pic of the inside, has Mahle cast on the inside Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91433-what-piston-is-this/#findComment-1573959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
