Prevent Cylinder Damage with VW & Dune Buggy Teflon Wrist Pin Buttons
In a high-performance air-cooled engine, the smallest component can sometimes cause the most significant damage. Standard metal wrist pin circlips are known to fail under high RPMs or extreme off-road vibrations, often popping out and causing irreparable gouges in cylinder walls. At Appletree Auto, we offer VW Teflon wrist pin buttons as the ultimate insurance policy for your engine's bottom end.
Designed to replace traditional snap rings or circlips, these buttons provide a "floating" wrist pin setup. Made from high-temperature, self-lubricating Teflon, they ride smoothly against the cylinder wall without causing wear, ensuring your wrist pins stay exactly where they belong. Whether you are building a high-revving street Beetle or a rugged sand rail, Teflon buttons are a favorite among professional engine builders for their reliability and ease of installation.
