Volkswagen Beetle Engine Components

Note: bolt on valve covers eliminate bale/clip loosening. These valve covers come with o-ring stud seals to prevent oil leaks.

Note: These neoprene valve cover gaskets provide a better and longer lasting seal than original cork. These cover gaskets can be used with either stock or aftermarket valve covers.

The valve covers come with hardware. This kit is recommended when reinstalling as new hardware is recommended when valve covers are removed and reinstalled.

Use 6 washers for following case studs:
VW Beetle and VW Super Beetle 59-79
VW Bus 59-71
VW Karmann Ghia 59-74
VW Type 3 62-73
VW Thing 73-74

Use 1 on clutch cable sleeve for:
VW Beetle and VW Super Beetle 46-79
VW Bus 50-79
VW Karmann Ghia 56-74
VW Type 3 62-73
VW Thing 73-74

We highly recommend that you replace these whenever you pull the heads off a 1300 through a 1600 engine. The stock tubes have a crush built into each end. If you try to stretch the old ones they will revert back to where they were crushed when they heat up. Most likely, they'll also leak. One car requires 8 tubes.

For 1300, 1500 and 1600 engines.
