★ Quality pistons for restoration and rebuild of the legendary 134ci L-head engine. Supplied as complete set with all necessary piston pins.

Application

Suitable for vehicles fitted with the 134ci L-head engine as mentioned in the product categories. Only to be used with standard cylinder bore. For overbored cylinders, an oversize piston set must be used (e.g. +0.010", +0.020", +0.030", +0.040" or +0.060").

Installation notes

Check the cylinder bore carefully before fitting. The specified piston clearance in the cylinder is 0.0015 to 0.0020 inch (0.038 to 0.051 mm) according to the original Technical Manual. Always measure the bore after machining to select the correct oversized pistons if required. Piston pins must be fitted with the correct clearances.

Compatibility

IMPORTANT: These standard-size pistons are ONLY suitable for cylinders that have not been overbored. In case of wear or damage to cylinders, it is often necessary to bore out to a larger size (+0.010" to +0.060"), requiring oversize pistons. Always check the actual cylinder bore before ordering.

Historical context

The 134ci L-head engine, nicknamed 'Go Devil', was developed by Delmar 'Barney' Roos and powered almost all American and Allied military jeeps during WWII. This robust four-cylinder remained in production well into the 1960s for civilian and military applications.
