Because it is responsible for spinning the distributor, any wear on this gear's teeth directly translates to erratic engine timing. This is a \"must-replace\" item during a high-quality bottom-end rebuild, as the brass teeth can sharpen or pit after decades of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eInstalling a new gear requires the crankshaft to be removed from the case. Professional builders typically heat the gear to expand it, allowing it to slide into position on the crankshaft. Once it cools, it creates a permanent interference fit. Proper orientation is vital; if installed backward or misaligned, the distributor drive pinion will not seat correctly, potentially damaging the engine case.\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\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eVW Super Beetle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eVW Transporter:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eVW Type 3:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eVW Thing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"27,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHelical-Cut Teeth:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision-engineered for quiet, low-vibration engagement with the distributor drive pinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"27,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSacrificial Interface:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to wear before the steel drive pinion, saving you from more expensive repairs during long-term maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"27,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFactory-Correct Fit:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically sized for the crankshaft journals of all Type 1, 2, and 3 engines from 1200cc up to 1600cc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"29\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"29,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 111-105-223\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"29,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Grade Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"29,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation Method:\u003c\/b\u003e Press-Fit \/ Heat-Shrink\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"29,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e Crankshaft Timing Assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"31\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"32\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"32,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"32,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeat Expansion:\u003c\/b\u003e Use a hot plate or small oven to heat the gear before installation.
