Because early air-cooled engines rely on a secure seal to maintain internal oil pressure and cooling efficiency, a leaking valve cover gasket can lead to messy engine bays and potential overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis gasket is precision-cut to match the unique footprint of the early 25hp and 36hp heads. Unlike later gaskets, these are slightly smaller and have a different profile. They are designed to be used with the original \"clip-on\" style valve covers and provide the necessary cushion to prevent metal-to-metal contact while sealing the valvetrain area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eVW Beetle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eVW Transporter:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\"\u003e1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003ePorsche 356:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20,0,0\"\u003e1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003ePorsche 356A:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003e1956, 1957, 1958, 1959\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp;
