Because Type 4 cores are increasingly rare, machining a worn crank to a 0.50mm undersize is a common practice to extend the life of the engine. This bearing set provides the precise oil clearances required to keep a 2.0L motor running cool and quiet. By utilizing this set with a standard-bore case, you ensure that the engine's primary structural alignment remains as close to factory as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis set is compatible with all air-cooled Transporters using the Type 4 engine architecture, including the 914-style 2.0L motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eVW Bus (Type 2 \/ Type 4 Engine):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eVW Vanagon (Air-Cooled 2.0L):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e1980, 1981, 1982, 1983\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eReinforced Babbitt Lining:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a high-strength bearing surface designed to resist the fatigue and \"flaking\" often caused by the heavy reciprocating mass of the 2.0L crankshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFactory-Correct Oil Porting:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes the specific oiling holes and grooves required to feed the Type 4's internal oil galleys, including the critical center-main lubrication path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSteel-Backed Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e The steel backing provides excellent thermal transfer, helping to move heat away from the crankshaft and into the engine case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\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\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 021-198-485A\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\"\u003eCrankshaft Journal:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50mm Undersize (.020\")\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\"\u003eEngine Case Bore:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard (Std)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThrust Flange:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard (Std)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngine Application:\u003c\/b\u003e 1700cc, 1800cc, 2000cc (Type 4)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMicrometer Verification:\u003c\/b\u003e A 0.50mm undersize leaves very little margin for error.
