[r73]

Anyone know who supplies these - been on to heritage and say only do em for type 4 engines?

Heritage did do them for typ1 in January when i asked. They advertise them as hyper something pistons.

SSP sell them as "Repro kits with Hypereutectic pistons".

I asked about the difference on here not so long ago......

Thanks, I know all this, but nobody could tell me what the difference would be in an engine build.
In the end I rang Laurie Pettit....

Hello.....



































































































Basically;

"They're fine. The Heritage sets are AAA in blue boxes, excellent stuff.
When they get popular though, they'll be charging 100 quid more.

People without a long VW history won't recall the howls of protest when stuff appeared from Brazil and Mexico in the late seventies... Now it's industry standard."

cheers geez - will speak to them tomorrow, have heard they seem as good if not better than the Mahle kits?
do you know if they do them in 1600 or 1641??

 

[schneeky]

They do them in all sizes, i use them on all my engines that carry a warrenty above 1600cc and have never had any problems reported back to me.

I didn't say they're not made in those sizes, just that SSP don't list them.

 

[r73]

true - heritage say its not worth them selling them in 1600 and 1641. only whats listed in SSP.
