FAQ
Is the price for one piston or a full set?
This listing is for a complete set of six pistons with rings installed, plus wrist pins and clips.
Will this fit High Output (HO) 2001–2002?
No—this 224-3355WR family is for Standard Output VP44 engines. HO 2001–2002 applications typically use different Mahle part families (e.g., 224-3354WR).
Are the skirts coated?
These are listed as non-coated skirts. Many stock and mild-build applications run non-coated successfully—follow your builder’s recommendation.
