1.4L XE 77.90mm Omega/SBD pot piston set included rings, pins and circlips.
The Omega pot type pistons are extremely high quality and SBD have used them since we first started. The piston crown has been developed over time to what we believe is the best pot type piston available.
When GM designed the 1.4 16v engine, in able to minimise production costs the same con-rod from the 1.6 16v engine was used, this meant a taller piston was produced (due to shorter stroke but same block height) – as the 1.4 16v XE was never required to give a high output the heavy and tall piston was not a problem, however when looking to convert this into a competition engine it is a real drawback.
We produce a short deck height piston, using a 17mm Diam. pin (standard is 18mm) which is optimised for the application, coupled with our Saenz “long rod” set (135mm as opposed to the original 129mm!)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whenever any engine is assembled, the volumes should be carefully measured to ensure the desired compression ratio is obtained or there could be a lack of performance if the compression is too low or damage could occur if the compression is too high or mechanical contact takes place. If you do not have the equipment to carry out this work, it is recommended that you have this done by a professional.
