When installing a high-efficiency \"Doghouse\" style oil cooler onto an earlier 1300cc, 1500cc, or 1600cc engine case, you will encounter a mismatch in port sizes. Early cases use \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"282\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/b\u003e oil passages, while later coolers use larger \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"331\"\u003e10mm\u003c\/b\u003e passages. These \"step-down\" seals are the only way to bridge that gap without causing a massive oil leak or pressure drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e111-198-029\u003c\/b\u003e kit consists of two heavy-duty rubber seals featuring a unique dual-diameter design. One side fits snugly into the 8mm case holes, while the other expands to seal against the 10mm cooler flange. Using standard seals in this application will result in immediate failure; these conversion seals are required for any \"Doghouse\" conversion on an early-style engine case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e These seals are required when using a later cooler on these early-case models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Beetle (Standard):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Bus (Type 2):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"30\"\u003eCorrect \"Step\" Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision molded to adapt 8mm case passages to 10mm oil cooler inlets perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHigh-Temperature Rubber:\u003c\/b\u003e Made from oil-resistant nitrile rubber that maintains its elasticity under the extreme heat of the engine's oiling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCritical Leak Prevention:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically designed to withstand the high oil pressures of a cold start without blowing out or deforming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEssential for Upgrades:\u003c\/b\u003e The mandatory hardware for anyone replacing an early \"upright\" cooler with a more efficient later-model doghouse setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e Part Number: 111-198-029\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 8mm (Case Side)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 10mm (Cooler Side)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Set of 2 Seals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23\" data-index-in-node=\"32\"\u003eOrientation is Key:\u003c\/b\u003e Ensure the smaller \"8mm\" side is seated firmly into the engine case passages and the larger \"10mm\" side is facing the oil cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCheck for Debris:\u003c\/b\u003e Before installing, ensure the oil passages in the case are free of old rubber fragments.
