piston pin circlips 101 OCTANE Racing C-Clip 12mm

101 Octane 12mm gudgeon pin C-type circlips. The choice of gudgeon pin is often overlooked, but it is worth paying attention to. Although the C-type clip is a little more fiddly than the G-type, tuners and tuning enthusiasts alike should choose the C-type clip. If G-type clips are used too often, they can break off at the “stub”, causing serious engine damage. Vibrations often cause G-style clips to break, or play in the gudgeon pin forces the mounting stub to shear. The C-type can neither be loosened by movement of the gudgeon pin nor break. Ensure that the circlip groove is completely clean before installation and that the clip sits securely in the groove. We recommend installing the clip opening opposite to the piston rotation. 2x C-style clips included.
