Piston Pin Buttons

Does anyone know what type of 'plastic' the buttons are made from?

 

I believe it is Teflon

 

Yes it is teflon, I've made tons of them out of tef. this must be for a chevy deal..Dave

 

Thanks guys. I thought as much but just wanted to confirm.

Dave, why do you say it 'must be for a chevy'?

 

sorry it took so long to respond..been in Hawaii for awhile..the reason is most if not all hemi buttons are made from alum. bar stock the bottom ring hold the button and on a chevy it is in the rist pin its self.Dave

 

Buttons

Sorry to jump in, but where would i buy them for hemi pistons?
Thanks

 

call arias 310-532-9737 if I had time I would for you, winter time I have a lot of shop time summer I dont live here..Dave

 

Thanks Dave. Would you have a picture of a hemi one please? And what grade aluminium do you use?

Many thanks,
Paul.

 

i should have one for a pic. and i use a 6061

 

I was hoping you could explain this some more. My chevy buttons slide into the wrist pin holes and are relieved for the oil ring. Are you saying most chevy wrist pins are below the oil rings?

 

Correct...hemi's with longer rods, and a chevy with longer rods (mine too), the button has a relief in it that the oil control ring goes thru. My buttons were made on lathe next door out of 6061 bar stock. about 20 minutes a button...they work great, just ran them last weekend for the first time

 

What temper state is the 6061?
