OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Balance Set of 4 Pistons, Labor
Balance Set of 4 Pistons, Labor
Price: $60.00
SORRY, This service is currently unavailable

This is the labor cost for us to balance a set of pistons purchased from us. We balance to a .5g tolerance, stock is 5g! We have seen pistons off by >20g out of the package, so choosing this option is wise. If they are too far out, we'll replace them.

It's important for you to know that when we balance the pistons and wrist pins, they are in MATCHED PAIRS. You must make sure you do not swap pins and pistons during the cleaning and assembly process! Pins are sometimes 1.5g out, and we often have a heavy pin with a light piston, and a light pin with a heavy piston. If you mix them you no longer have a balanced set!

Quick Seat Piston Ring Assembly Lubricant, by Total Seal, 2 Grams
Quick Seat Piston Ring Assembly Lubricant, by Total Seal, 2 Grams
Price: $24.95

Quick Seat Piston Ring Assembly Lubricant, by Total Seal, 2 Grams is a dry Piston Ring Powder that aids in piston ring sealing and break in. This product is designed to be brushed into your cylinder walls (by hand, rub it in) during final assembly, and it fills the hone grooves during ring break in. This promotes quicker ring seating, longer ring life, and better leak-downs. It's cheap, and it works! 2g Tub. This compound is NOT abrasive, it is a substance that smoothes out the cylinder walls for an immediate ring-seal to promote proper ring break-in.

After honing and final cleaning of the cylinders, wipe the cylinderwalls with a lint-free rag using a lacquer thinner or brake cleaner. Then wipe the cylinders with a light penetrating oi, and wipe them dry with a clean rag (to ensure the crosshatch is clean).

Apply the Quick Seat with your finger to the entire cylinder. If the cylinder wall was clean the powder will turn the cylinder a greenish tint. If the powder turns the cylinder a black or silverish color, the crosshatch was still dirty, and you need to reclean the cylinders and re-apply.
