What is the purpose of the ArmorGlide skirt coating?

The ArmorGlide skirt coating on these Wiseco pistons is designed to reduce friction and noise during operation. It also provides resistance to seizure, helping to ensure smoother piston movement within the cylinder bore.

Are these pistons suitable for a standard engine rebuild?

These pistons are designed for heavy to severe duty performance applications and are built with features for serious racers and builders. While they offer improved strength and durability, they are intended for more demanding builds rather than a basic stock replacement.

What does 'Not CARB approved' mean for buyers?

This means the piston set does not meet the emissions standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Consequently, it cannot be legally shipped to or sold in California.

Product Details

Starting with a 94.00 mm bore size, this Wiseco piston set is built for Volkswagen Type 1 Aircooled engines. These pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its improved tensile strength, making them well-suited for demanding performance builds where reliability is key. The set includes four pistons, each featuring a 35.00 mm compression height and a 0.866 inch pin diameter, designed to fit specific European engine configurations.

Wiseco has incorporated several features to enhance performance and longevity. The pistons have precision ring grooves, anti-detonation grooves, and additional features designed to improve ring seal, which helps maintain compression and prevent blow-by. They also come with an ArmorGlide skirt coating. This coating is applied to reduce friction and noise during operation, while also offering resistance to seizure, ensuring smoother piston movement within the cylinder. The fully machined crown adds to the overall precision of the component, and forced pin oiling helps keep the wrist pin lubricated under high stress.

This piston set is intended for heavy to severe duty performance applications. While these pistons are designed for serious racers and builders, they are a solid option for anyone looking to rebuild their engine with robust components. Please note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It is recommended to consult manufacturer installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
