FAQ
Is S42097.020 correct for my 6.4L?
Yes—if your 6.4L Power Stroke cylinders are bored and honed to +.020" and you need a single-cylinder ring pack. For a full engine set at .020", see MAHLE 42097.02.
How many do I need for a full rebuild?
This is a single-cylinder set. Order quantity 8 for all cylinders or choose the complete engine set (42097.xx).
What’s the typical finished bore for +.020"?
Approx. 3.886" for 6.4L applications, but always follow your machinist’s final sizing and MAHLE’s end-gap guidance.
