1835cc is the most popular displacement bump for a Type 1, and this is EMPI's thick-wall machine-in version (98-1958-B) — 92mm cylinders with extra wall material for more strength and cooling surface than a standard 92mm slip-in set. The hypereutectic high-silicon-alloy pistons run with minimal expansion for long service life. This is a machine-in set: your case and heads must be cut for 94mm to clear the thicker cylinders.

  • Thick-wall cast-iron cylinders — stronger and cooler-running than a standard 92mm slip-in
  • Hypereutectic aluminum-alloy pistons, high silicon content for low thermal expansion
  • Complete set of 4: cylinders, pistons, rings, wrist pins, and clips
  • Runs the stock 69mm crank — no stroker crank required

Not good value for money
I have ordered this before and as the picture shows it used to be a pack of two. I received my ball and now its just one ball for the same price. I will not order this product again.

Will buy again but softer ball preferred
At first Labradors weren’t into it, but I played with them positively reinforcing all touches and now my service dog LOVES the bigger one! It’s perfect between appointments to give her exercise. Will be looking for the same but with a softer ball. It’s a little too heavy and tough if it were to accidentally bounce off a body part besides their mouth catching it.

Best flip-flops I've met
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
Right away I was impressed by the thichness and cushioning of these flip-flops. They are not a flimsy piece of rubber under my foot. The sole is more like that of an athletic shoe with layers and an impressive tread. I've always found that my heel sits too much on the back edge of flip-flops, or even over it. So I ordered these just a half size large and they're perfect. The foot cradling allows my heel to sit down inside the flip-flop comfortably and securely. They're not about to fall off. The toe piece (I don't know what it's actually called) is not just the typical round rubber post. On these flip-flops it's nicely shaped and fits comfortably between my toes. The arch support is nice too. They're not just flat. In spite of being more substantial than the cheapies we all know, these remain lightweight. They clearly look better too

Well made
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
The first thing that stands out about the Columbia PFG Castback Flip sandals is the solid build and clean fishing-inspired design. The Black/Geyser color combination looks sharp and matches the product photos well. The straps feel durable and comfortable against the foot, and the footbed has a slightly cushioned feel that makes them comfortable right out of the box. Overall construction feels sturdy, which is what you’d expect from something designed for outdoor or water use. In everyday wear, the sandals are comfortable and easy to walk in. The footbed provides decent grip and support, and the textured surface helps keep your foot from sliding around when they get wet. They work well for casual use, whether it’s around the house, at the beach, or after a day on the water. The lightweight feel also makes them easy to pack for trips or outdoor activities. After wearing them for a while, they hold up well and remain comfortable for daily use. The materials seem durable and the straps stay secure without stretching out. They’re simple, reliable sandals that work well for warm weather, boating, or casual summer wear. Overall, they’re a solid choice for anyone looking for comfortable flip flops with a slightly more rugged outdoor style.
