Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
So long and short is whoever has been manufacturing gm"s cranks lately has been adding about .045 to the crank counter weights. Old crank cleared. Had machine shop clean up counter weights seeing I needed balancing anyway with mahle motorsports pistons. -

Nope block has not been decked, I am on my way now to verify rod measurements by I highly doubt I have 8 equally bent rods and somehow stock piston has .012 poke -

Will do, sending measurements in now. Hopefully get a clear answer -
Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
Yes waiting for reply from mahle. Sending rods to machine shop to see if somehow I have 8 equally short rods -
Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
Well just measured piston protrusion. All where between .004 and .007. Put an old piston on #2 rod that has .012 protrusion where he mahle piston had .005. Old piston misses crank by a mile -

Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
Well dam looks like time to pull rods back of and make some measurements The lmls you did used lml rods and crank? Do you remember how close the skirts came to the counter weights? The ones that don't touch on mine still look Uber close -

I have seen this. I'm wondering now what they mean by fit lml lol. It fits in the hole but stops after that. I feel I'm missing info like fits lml if you run different rods or crank. -
Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
I belive they did cause the pin height is higher towards the top then the lml pistons. The mahle ones are closer to lbz pistons. Also if you look up basic stock replacement pistons from mahle they say 11-16 not 01-16 -

Yes triple checked pistons. Was my first thought but fortunately unfortunately there on right. -
Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
Rods looked fine. Haven't measured piston protrusion but looks less then stock. Can tell you pin height on these mahle pistons is higher than the stock lml pistons and more material under pin than stockers -
Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank
Hey guys need some help. Rebuilding an 2015 lml that had cracked pistons. Got a set of mahle motorsports pistons part # 930036055. After installing a few found that the crank counter weights are hitting bottom of the pistons. Where did I go wrong or how do I fix. Thanks Anthony
