1835cc is the most popular displacement bump for a Type 1, and this is EMPI's thick-wall machine-in version (98-1958-B) — 92mm cylinders with extra wall material for more strength and cooling surface than a standard 92mm slip-in set. The hypereutectic high-silicon-alloy pistons run with minimal expansion for long service life. This is a machine-in set: your case and heads must be cut for 94mm to clear the thicker cylinders.

Features

  • 92mm bore × 69mm stock stroke = 1835cc displacement
  • Thick-wall cast-iron cylinders — stronger and cooler-running than a standard 92mm slip-in
  • Hypereutectic aluminum-alloy pistons, high silicon content for low thermal expansion
  • Complete set of 4: cylinders, pistons, rings, wrist pins, and clips
  • Runs the stock 69mm crank — no stroker crank required

Surprisingly good shirt for the price
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I’m generally pleased with my purchase. I got a 2XL because the website it would fit my neck. Around the waist it fit similar to Amazon Essentials work shirts (like mechanics use which I find comfortable). It was snug around the waist when sitting, but I can’t complain because I have a belly. I did find the neck snug when buttoning the top button so it means the neck is 18 or 18.5 and I wear a 19/19.5 to have 1-2 fingers space in the collar. The shirt is surprisingly thick like Amazon’s work shirts, much thicker than other dress shirts from another brand. And I am pleased that this shirt has button holes like other Amazon shirts does, all vertical button holes except the last one at the bottom which is horizontal. That feature keeps the shirt from unbuttoning itself during daily movement at the office. A very nice feature! I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged however but I have to press and wash it anyway.

Comparable to high end mens shops!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue, Size: Large
Beautiful, heavy blue Oxford comparable to upper end mens store at 75% less! Full cut, great for casual wear or sending out for professional starching. Downside, no pocket, but I had mine monogramed wear the pocket would be and it looks like an expensive dress shirt. I bought more (with pockets) in blue & white
