Builders,
We now have complete 2,775 cc piston, connecting rod and cylinder kits on the shelf. These kits complete everything from both Groups 1300 and 1400, including copper base and head gaskets. You can read more on the development of the 2,775 forged piston here: 2,775 cc Pistons are here. and you can also read about the flexibility of fuels they allow here: Compression Ratios, Fuels and Power Output.
.
These kits are very complete, and Feature new Weseman billet connecting rods with ARP bots, which are far easier to install than stock rods. These rods also feature fully floating wrist pins running in precision honed bronze bushings. Both the head and base gaskets are copper, and do not require any sealant. The Cylinders for these kits are bored for us by Clark’s Corvairs, to a 220 finish on their machines set up to exclusively do Corvair cylinders. The pistons are forged in California, made to the finest standards by the same company that has made all the 3,000 cc and 2,850 pistons. The piston rings are included, they are Hastings chrome rings, the same ones we have used in countless Corvairs over the years. They break in easily in an hours ground run. I have never seen a single ‘glazed’ cylinder from their use.
