Cylinder kit, VW 93MM 1800cc Type 4. Porsche 914  ❭  VW9300T4L

93mm Cylinder Kit - Set of 4

Restore the performance and reliability of your classic air-cooled engine with this OE Match 93mm Cylinder Kit, designed for 1800cc Volkswagen Type 4 engines fitted to the Porsche 914.

Fits:

• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

Manufactured to OE specifications, this high-quality cylinder kit is an ideal replacement for worn or damaged original cylinders during an engine rebuild. Precision machined for accurate fitment and sealing, the cylinders provide excellent compression, efficient heat dissipation and long-lasting durability.

Cylinders: Cast Iron.

Whether you're rebuilding a high-mileage engine or carrying out a complete restoration, this OE Match cylinder kit offers dependable quality and factory-style performance.

What Do Engine Cylinders Do?

Engine cylinders form the chamber in which the pistons travel, creating the compression required for combustion and power production.

Their primary functions include:
Guiding piston movement
Maintaining engine compression
Providing a hard-wearing cylinder bore
Dissipating combustion heat
Supporting efficient engine performance

Properly functioning cylinders are essential for maintaining power, fuel efficiency and oil control.

Why Do Engine Cylinders Wear Out?

Over time, constant piston movement, combustion temperatures and friction gradually wear the cylinder bores.

Common causes include:

• High mileage
• Poor lubrication
• Engine overheating
• Contamination from dirt or debris
• Worn piston rings
• Corrosion after long-term storage

As wear increases, compression falls, oil consumption rises and engine performance suffers.

When Should They Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended if:

• Compression is below specification
• Cylinder bores are worn or scored
• Oil consumption increases
• Excessive piston-to-cylinder clearance is found
• The engine is undergoing a complete rebuild
• Heat damage or corrosion is present

Replacing worn cylinders restores engine efficiency, improves reliability and helps return the engine to its original performance.

Porsche 914 Type 4 Engine Components

The Type 4 engine fitted to the Porsche 914 depends on precision-engineered cylinders to maintain compression, control oil consumption and deliver smooth, reliable performance. As these engines age, cylinder wear becomes inevitable, leading to reduced power, increased oil usage and lower efficiency.

Replacing worn cylinders during an engine rebuild restores compression and reliability while helping preserve the character and performance of the original engine. OE Match components are manufactured to factory standards, making them an excellent choice for restoration and maintenance projects.

Benefits of Replacing the Cylinder Kit

• Restores engine compression
• Improves power and efficiency
• Helps reduce oil consumption
• OE-style precision fitment
• Durable heat-resistant construction
• Ideal for complete engine rebuilds
