I am needing to purchase 96mm cylinders for my 2056 build.
My case is a 1.8, so can/should I bore out my stock 93mm cylinders or should I purchase stock cast iron 2.0 cylinders(94mm) and have them bored out, or should I purchase aftermarket cast iron cylinders, or use birals? If I purchase stock 2.0 cylinders, should they be from the same engine case? I'm not sure who all makes cylinders, but European Motorworks says their cast iron cylinders are thicker than AA Performance cylinders. Is a thicker cylinder wall better? Any shared experience with these options is welcomed. I'm also needing a recommendation on the piston rings...Total Seal, Hastings, another brand? I will be using JE forged pistons. Thanks everyone. |

JE Pistons = Jahns' Engineering. They make custom pistons,
As well as stock. Ask the Horse's mouth. Give them a call. Thicker cylinders are typically for higher pressures, RPM, etc. For street - I wouldn't get too exotic. Going racing? If you're not assembling the engine yourself, have a chat with the builder. Be informed so that you can decide if you agree with the builder's plan. The builder has to warranty the engine - so needs to be in a Comfort range of his/her experience. |
