This auction is for our OVERSIZED 9.5mm diameter hole to accommodate oil modifications made to irons.
Lighter than the solid dowel pins we sell, these one piece tubular dowel pins allow you to have a more rigid engine and still use the factory oil circulation through the center of the pins. The 13b engine from Mazda uses 4 dowel pins that are very brittle and provide more "slop" or "flex" in the engine. Our pins are one-piece so you will receive two pins. The photo of the short pin is the factory/oem and is for reference so it is not included in the sale.
These tubular pins are precision ground for tighter diameter and straightness tolerance. Each end is beveled for installation aid. After the hardening process the pins are finished to a 10 rms micron finished OD. Being one pin rather than two in the engine, rigidity is increased.
These bars retain a softer steel core but offer the tough exterior with hardening layer; a .1mm deep hardened exterior provides a smooth, durable, long-term finish. Furthermore, the exterior is so hard that they cannot be cut with a tempered/hardened bandsaw blade! These are cut for the factory irons and rotor housings, if you have lapped irons please contact us; the length of these units are crucial!
