Hastings piston ring set for 92 mm bore VW Type 1 big-bore engines with a thinner 1.5 mm top compression ring. Cast iron compression rings — Hastings' standard street-quality material. The thinner top ring reduces friction for higher-RPM performance applications. Complete set for a 4-cylinder engine.

Application

• 92 mm bore Type 1 big-bore — pistons machined for a 1.5 mm top compression groove (performance applications)
• Pair with matching 92 mm Type 1 pistons cut for this stack

Ring Stack — read before ordering

Hastings rings are specified by their groove widths in millimeters, in the order top compression / second compression / oil control:

• Top compression: 1.5 mm (reduced thickness — performance pistons only)
• Second compression: 2 mm
• Oil control: 4 mm
• Material: Cast iron compression rings

Confirm the ring groove widths cut into your pistons match this stack before ordering. A 1.5 mm top ring will NOT work in a 2 mm groove and vice versa.

Specifications

• EMPI Part #: 98-1230-B
• Set covers 4 cylinders (one complete engine)

About Hastings
