Real Deal AOE Spacer – Nylon

Real Deal AOE Spacer – Nylon

Key Features:

1. Perfect AOE Correction:
   • Provides an evenly distributed barrier over the entire face of the piston.
   • Prevents forward movement of the piston rack (not required for Real Deal pistons).
2. Centered Piston Head Alignment:
   • Snug fit around piston head set screw threads ensures proper centering during installation.
3. Lightweight Design:
   • Weighs only 0.03 grams to minimize added weight in fast-cycling gearboxes.
4. Improved Angle of Engagement (AOE):
   • Allows the sector gear to pick up the piston closer to the 12 o’clock position.
   • Reduces system stress and prevents premature engagement (PME).
5. Customizable Fit:
   • Use 1 or more spacers to achieve the ideal AOE depending on your gearbox setup.

How It Works:

• What is AOE?
  The Angle of Engagement (AOE) is the point where the sector gear picks up the piston assembly. Proper AOE reduces stress and ensures efficient cycling.
• Why Use Real Deal Spacers?
  • They adjust the piston’s position to improve engagement with the sector gear.
  • Real Deal pistons have pre-cut teeth to naturally avoid premature engagement, but AOE correction is still advised for most builds.

Installation Tips:

1. Start with One Spacer:
   • Insert one spacer and inspect the AOE.
   • Ensure the sector gear engages closer to the 12 o’clock position.
2. Add Additional Spacers if Necessary:
   • If the sector gear engages at the 1-2 o’clock position or shows signs of PME, add another spacer.
3. Check for Clearance:
   • Verify that the piston teeth clear the sector gear and there’s no risk of PME.

Compatibility:

• Suitable for most AEG builds requiring AOE correction.
• Not required for Real Deal Piston Assemblies, which are pre-fitted with AOE washers and drop-in ready.
