Product Details

The MAHLE 224-3536 is an OE-quality replacement engine piston set engineered to meet or exceed original factory specifications. MAHLE is one of the world's leading OE piston manufacturers, and this set delivers the same precision and durability found in factory-installed components.

Each piston features a dish-style crown with no valve reliefs, cast aluminum construction, a bore diameter of 3.780 in. (96.012 mm), and is designed for a 3.622 in. stock stroke application. These pistons are a direct-fit solution for GM 5.3L (325) V8 engines.

Key Features:

  • OE Form, Fit & Function — Precision-machined to tight tolerances matching original factory specifications
  • Compensated Ring Grooves — Ensure proper ring loading and optimal oil control throughout the piston's service life
  • Expansion-Controlled Design — Tight fitting clearances reduce engine noise, wear, and emissions while improving oil control
  • Cast Aluminum Construction — Lightweight design reduces reciprocating mass, lowering bearing loads and improving engine response
  • GRAFAL Anti-Friction Skirt Coating — MAHLE's proprietary graphite-impregnated resin coating minimizes drag, scuffing, friction, and cylinder bore wear
  • Dish Piston Style — No valve reliefs; designed for stock stroke applications
  • Bore: 3.780 in. (96.012 mm) | Stroke: 3.622 in. (stock)

MAHLE is the world's leading manufacturer of more than 100,000 OE and aftermarket parts. When rebuilding your engine, trust MAHLE's decades of international engineering expertise to restore power, efficiency, and long-term reliability. Note: Piston rings are not included with this set.
