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.
