VEMS EJ Cooling Balance Kit

Broken #4 piston costs thousands to replace.
Problem

Cylinder #4 piston is almost always the first/only piston to crack the ringlands. It is several thousand dollars to fix a broken piston. The coolant passage through the left head on the rear of the engine is insufficient causing Cyl #4 to run hot. Rod bearings can also be a problem, but just use 5w40 oil and the bearings aren’t an issue anymore.

Solution

Increasing the coolant flow through the rear of the cylinder head reduces cylinder temps significantly, allowing the engine to see less knock and therefore last longer. The right side head has this coolant flow because the turbo is fed through the rear of the head.

Benefits
  • High quality MADE IN THE USA parts
  • Easy to install
  • No tuning necessary, though you generally can push the engine further now through tuning if you wish
  • Very small investment for increased reliability
