Over decades of use, the magnesium or aluminum alloy cases of the Type 1 engine can \"pound out,\" leading to a loose fit at the main bearings or excessive crankshaft end-play. By line-boring the case to a 0.40mm oversize and machining the thrust face by 0.40mm, you can return the engine to factory-tight tolerances. This bearing set is the exact hardware required to bridge the gap between a standard crankshaft and a precision-machined engine case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis set is compatible with the entire range of upright air-cooled engines from the 40hp 1200cc through the final 1600cc dual-port models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Beetle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Super Beetle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Bus (Type 2):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Thing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Type 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Oil Holes:\u003c\/b\u003e Features factory-aligned oil galleys to ensure immediate lubrication to the crankshaft journals upon startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThrust Bearing Reinforcement:\u003c\/b\u003e The oversized thrust bearing is designed to handle the axial load of the clutch assembly, preventing \"crank walk\" after the case has been surfaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e Works with single-port and dual-port configurations, as well as early 1200cc, 1300cc, 1500cc, and 1600cc engine displacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 111-198-481OS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCrankshaft Journal:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard (Std)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngine Case Bore:\u003c\/b\u003e +0.40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThrust Flange:\u003c\/b\u003e +0.40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngine Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e 1200cc (40hp) to 1600cc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMeasure Twice:\u003c\/b\u003e Before ordering, use a precision micrometer to verify that your machinist has bored the case to exactly +0.40mm and cut the thrust to +0.40mm.
