VW PISTON & CYLINDER ACCESSORIES!
| CYLINDER SHIMS | |
 |
Cylinder Shims are a must for most VW aero conversions. You need to run the correct compression ratio for the octane of fuel you plan to use. Stock shims are available for all 90.5mm and 92mm cylinders. 94mm shims are all custom ground shims at $59.95 per set. If you are going to use automotive fuel with our carburetor or an Ellison we strongly suggest the use of a fuel pump, electrical, mechanical or both. |

| COPPER GASKETS | |
 |
Copper cylinder heads gaskets can replace the cylinder shim or a thickness of a shims to reduce your compression ratio. These shims are .040" thick and are for use with 92mm cylinders only. The shims install between the top of the cylinder and the cylinder head. Example: If you require a total of .217" of cylinder shims for a 2180cc engine, you can use a .177" base shim and a .040" copper cylinder head gasket shim. |
| Copper Cylinder Head Gaskets . . . $36.95 (Set of 4) | |
| TEFLON WRIST PIN BUTTONS | |
 |
Teflon Wrist Pin Buttons are for use, in our opinion, only with custom pistons that do not have keeper grooves machined into the piston. Our experience has shown that without the use of an oil filter, the teflon wrist pins can do more damage to the cylinder wall by grinding contaminates into it than the likely hood of ever have a stock circlip coming out and having the wrist pin damage the cylinder wall. In our 23+ years of flying VWs we have yet to see a missing circlip on tear down. If you must have them however, we have them. Available of 92mm pistons only. |
| Teflon Wrist Pin Buttons . . . $14.95 (Set of 8) Available in 92mm only. | |
| REPLACEMENT RINGS | |
 |
For 92mm Pistons. Specify 1.5 or 2.0mm thickness of top and second ring. |
