Cylinder Kit, Big bore VW 86mm.
Increase engine capacity and restore dependable performance with this OE Match Big Bore VW 86mm Cylinder Kit. Produced to OE-style specifications, this precision-engineered Big Bore cylinder kit is designed for compatible classic Volkswagen air-cooled engines and Porsche applications using the same engine platform where applicable. Manufactured from high-quality cast materials with precision-machined cylinder bores, the kit delivers exceptional durability, excellent heat dissipation, and reliable sealing under demanding operating conditions. The larger 86mm bore increases engine displacement, making it ideal for performance engine builds, complete engine rebuilds, and restoration projects.
Fits:
The cylinder kit forms the combustion chamber walls, providing the precision-machined surfaces required for the pistons and piston rings to generate efficient compression and combustion. The increased 86mm bore enlarges engine displacement, allowing greater air and fuel volume to enter the cylinders, which can improve torque and overall engine performance when used with compatible components. Over time, cylinder bores can become worn, scored, tapered, or distorted through continual piston movement, heat cycles, and normal engine wear, resulting in reduced compression, increased oil consumption, and declining performance. Replacing worn cylinders restores engine efficiency while providing the performance benefits of a Big Bore configuration.

The cylinder kit forms the combustion chamber walls, providing the precision-machined surfaces required for the pistons and piston rings to generate efficient compression and combustion. The increased 86mm bore enlarges engine displacement, allowing greater air and fuel volume to enter the cylinders, which can improve torque and overall engine performance when used with compatible components. Over time, cylinder bores can become worn, scored, tapered, or distorted through continual piston movement, heat cycles, and normal engine wear, resulting in reduced compression, increased oil consumption, and declining performance. Replacing worn cylinders restores engine efficiency while providing the performance benefits of a Big Bore configuration.
What This Product Does:
- Provides precision-machined cylinder bores for the pistons.
- Increases engine displacement with an 86mm bore.
- Restores engine compression and combustion efficiency.
- Supports correct piston and piston ring operation.
- Improves engine performance and torque potential.
- Replaces worn, scored, or damaged cylinders.
- Provides an OE-style fit for straightforward engine rebuilding.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Low engine compression.
- Excessive oil consumption.
- Blue exhaust smoke caused by oil burning.
- Loss of engine power or performance.
- Excessive crankcase blow-by.
- Scored, worn, or tapered cylinder bores.
- Piston slap or abnormal engine noise.
- Damage identified during engine overhaul.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The cylinders are fundamental to maintaining engine compression, efficient combustion, and reliable piston movement. As cylinder bores wear, engine performance declines, oil consumption increases, and internal engine wear accelerates. The 86mm Big Bore design increases engine displacement, offering greater performance potential while restoring the engine's ability to operate efficiently and reliably.
- Replacing worn cylinders with this OE Match Big Bore 86mm Cylinder Kit restores compression, reduces oil consumption, improves engine performance, and supports long-term engine reliability. Manufactured as a direct replacement and produced to OE-style specifications, this OE Match Big Bore VW 86mm Cylinder Kit provides reliable fit, performance, and durability for classic Volkswagen and compatible Porsche engine maintenance, performance upgrades, repairs, and restoration projects.

Piston Set 80mm, 22mm Pin.
Restore dependable engine performance or complete a high-quality engine rebuild with this OE Match 80mm Piston Set with 22mm Pin, reference 0081180P. Designed for compatible engine applications requiring an 80mm piston diameter and 22mm wrist/gudgeon pin, this piston set provides a replacement solution for worn or damaged original pistons and is suitable for engine rebuilding, restoration, and repair projects.

Kit includes: 4 Pistons, A set of Piston Rings, and 4 wrist pins and clips.
Pistons are fundamental internal engine components, travelling within the cylinders and containing the pressure created during combustion. This combustion force is transferred through the 22mm piston pins and connecting rods to the crankshaft, ultimately producing the rotational power used to drive the vehicle. Accurate piston dimensions, correct running clearances, and effective piston ring sealing are essential for maintaining compression, controlling oil consumption, and achieving reliable engine performance.

Accurate piston dimensions, correct running clearances, and effective piston ring sealing are essential for maintaining compression, controlling oil consumption, and achieving reliable engine performance.
What This Product Does:
- Forms a critical part of the engine's combustion chambers.
- Contains combustion pressure within each cylinder.
- Transfers combustion force to the connecting rods and crankshaft.
- Features an 80mm piston specification for compatible cylinders.
- Uses a 22mm wrist/gudgeon pin specification for compatible connecting rods.
- Helps maintain effective cylinder compression.
- Supports efficient combustion and consistent engine performance.
- Helps control oil consumption when correctly installed with suitable piston rings.
- Replaces worn, damaged, or unsuitable existing pistons.
- Provides an OE-style solution for compatible engine rebuilds.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Low or uneven cylinder compression.
- Excessive engine oil consumption.
- Blue smoke from the exhaust.
- Reduced engine power or poor acceleration.
- Excessive crankcase pressure or blow-by.
- Piston slap, knocking, or abnormal internal engine noise.
- Scoring or excessive wear on the piston skirts.
- Cracked, burnt, or otherwise damaged piston crowns.
- Worn, cracked, or broken piston ring lands.
- Excessive wear around the piston pin bore.
- Cylinder wall scoring or abnormal bore wear.
- Poor compression or leak-down test results.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Pistons are among the most highly loaded components inside an engine and play a fundamental role in compression, combustion, and power production. Excessive piston skirt wear, damaged ring lands, worn pin bores, cracked crowns, or incorrect running clearances can compromise cylinder sealing and piston stability.
- Worn or damaged pistons may lead to reduced compression, increased oil consumption, excessive blow-by, poor engine performance, abnormal internal noise, and accelerated wear of the cylinders and other engine components. Severe piston damage can ultimately lead to extensive internal engine failure.
- Correct piston and pin compatibility is also essential during an engine rebuild. The 80mm piston diameter and 22mm piston pin must be correctly matched to the cylinders, connecting rods, and overall engine specification. Incorrect dimensions or assembly clearances can result in excessive wear, piston seizure, cylinder damage, or other serious mechanical problems.
- Replacing worn or damaged components with this OE Match Piston Set 80mm, 22mm Pin 0081180P helps restore cylinder sealing, compression, and dependable engine operation when correctly installed as part of a properly measured and assembled engine rebuild.

What Do OE MATCH Pistons & Cylinders Do?
Pistons and cylinders form the heart of the combustion process, converting fuel energy into mechanical power.
Core Functions:
- Seal combustion pressure within the cylinder.
- Maintain correct compression ratios.
- Control oil consumption and lubrication.
- Guide piston movement with precise clearances.
- Support smooth, efficient engine operation.
Correctly matched pistons and cylinders are essential for engine performance and durability.
Why Do Pistons & Cylinders Fail?
Over time, pistons and cylinders wear due to heat, friction,
and combustion forces. Common failure causes include:
- Cylinder bore wear or scoring.
- Piston skirt wear from high mileage.
- Oil starvation or contamination.
- Overheating causing piston expansion or seizure.
- Loss of compression due to worn rings or bores.
These issues can lead to oil consumption, power loss, poor starting, and eventual engine failure.
