I would use second hand pistons if they are forgies. Talking to a mercedes inthusist at work that knows his cars. He belives they are forged. I belive Mercedes gear is made in house unlike other euro manufactures. Strength of the piston will depend on the ring grove positions on the piston and the piston material both unknown but if forged certainly stronger than normal. Jayem, How configdent are you that these are Mahle pistons? Even if they are Mahle pistons, these things are still strong. I know people putting them into escort engines running 9000 rpm with good results compared to cast pistons (no more cracking at the ring lands) With the link you have provided if you take a look at the 280 you will see item 49a under engine ie all information is not provided. Take a look at the 200 and there is a lot more detail ie pin diameter but still no compression height. 3t-gte, The details you have provided seem to be from a earlier engine ie M104 as opossed to M110. The 89.9 bore is pusing it on a 3t engine, but by all means get the pin diameter and compression height, may be usefull for someone building a 2ltr 3tgt.
