Hastings Piston Ring Set — 94mm Bore, 2×2×4 Cast Iron — VW Type 1 Big-Bore 1914/2110cc (98-1232-B)
Hastings piston ring set for 94mm bore VW Type 1 Big-Bore 1914/2110cc. The standard 2 mm top is the most common 94 mm ring stack for stock-grind Type 1 piston/cylinder kits (≈1914cc on a stock 69 mm stroke, ≈2110cc on a 78 mm stroker). The cast iron compression rings are Hastings' standard street-quality material. Complete set for a 4-cylinder engine.
Important — read before ordering: Hastings rings are specified by groove width (top compression / second compression / oil control). This is a 2 mm top / 2 mm second / 4 mm oil stack. Confirm the ring groove widths cut into your pistons match this stack before ordering. The three 94 mm sets (1.5 / 1.75 / 2 mm top) are NOT interchangeable.
