The pistons are custom made for GoWesty specifically for our 2450 engine\/kits. These are identical to the pistons we use in our GoWesty-built 2450 engines (same manufacture, process and coatings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThese are simply the absolute best-quality piston available on this planet! If there was a better piston, we would be using it. The cylinders are original VW German design that have been bored and honed using GoWesty proprietary fixtures and techniques.

The case is made from cast aluminum, and no two are exactly the same. There is no \"blue print\" or \"program\" to achieve this; it has to be done by hand by a very experienced and talented individual. The crankshaft\/rod assembly, cylinder, and piston must be test-fitted repeatedly to ensure that the clearance is correct and adequate, while at the same time not going too far and maintaining the cleanliness required for any successful engine rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis kit DOES NOT include installation instructions, and we will not provide technical support throughout the building process.
