I'm in the process of tearing down the block I picked up and I was wondering does anyone know what the original piston brand was on Type 4's (late type 2's)?

The pistons are 94mm Mahle's.

Maybe I picked up a nice find with more hidden goodies inside....😂

Mahles.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

I had a look at the cam last night and it looks worn. The block is from a 78.
