I haven't seen anyone use them in a car motor for years.
We used to use aluminum buttons in KZ motors. Teflon would wear grooves in the cylinder walls.

Does anyone know who makes those teflon piston pin buttons? I think every parts house that sells engine parts for aircooled vw's has them and I've seen them used on small block chevy's but I cant find any for Mopar's. |

They're machined teflon plugs that take the place of the spiro-locks normally used on wrist pins in free floating applications. Here's a link to a vw site showing some pictures. http://store.bajasandrails.com/engine-c ... ttons.html My grandfather used them on small block chevy race engines and when I was rebuilding a v-dub engine years ago, and came across them in a catalog, I used them in it. The wife and I drove that vw for several years after with no problem and I was thinking about them the other day but cant find them for mopars. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. |
