90.5mm + 92mm Barrel Spacer Kit (0.060" Thick) - Type 1 Engines

These cylinder base shims mount between your VW engine’s cylinders and crankcase, allowing you to adjust deck height and compression ratio to fine-tune your engine build.

Specifically designed for use with 90.5mm barrels (1776cc engines) and 92mm barrels (1835cc engines), these shims are 0.060” (1.524mm) thick, providing the extra clearance often needed when fitting stroker cranks, longer rods, or domed pistons.

They are made from good quality steel, ensuring a precise fit and excellent sealing when installed with proper gaskets and sealant. Whether you are rebuilding a performance engine or simply correcting compression on a fresh build, these shims are an essential component for achieving reliable and consistent engine operation.
