1600cc Piston Ring Set (2mm, 2mm, 5mm) - 85.5mm Bore Type 1 Engines

This replacement piston ring set is designed for use on all 1600cc VW Type 1 aircooled engines equipped with 85.5mm pistons. A vital part of your engine’s internal sealing system, piston rings maintain compression, control oil consumption, and aid in heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.

Each good quality set includes a complete set of rings for one engine (4 pistons), making it ideal for rebuilds, top-end overhauls, or maintenance on worn motors. The rings feature the correct factory-style dimensions:

• Top Ring: 2mm

• Middle Ring: 2mm

• Oil Control Ring: 5mm

These rings are suitable for stock 1600cc engines found in a wide range of classic VW models and are compatible with both single and dual-port configurations. Always verify piston and cylinder condition before installation to ensure proper sealing.
