OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Lower Engine Tin (Sled Tins, Heater Channel Tins), Upright Engines, 3 Piece Set
Lower Engine Tin (Sled Tins, Heater Channel Tins), Upright Engines, 3 Piece Set


 
Lower Engine Tin (Sled Tins, Heater Channel Tins), Upright Engines, 3 Piece Set fits between heater box and crank case on either side helps protect the push rod tubes and prevents overheating. These are REQUIRED for best cooling and thermostat operation.

These protect the push rod tubes from debris, and also funnel hot air (that already cooled the engine) down and away from your engine. They also keep the thermostat warm so the thermostat is reading a true hot air exhaust temperature, rather than being cooled by rushing air as you go down the road, which closes the flaps because the thermostat thinks the engine is "too cold".

We cannot stress the importance of these 3 pieces of cooling tin, even if you do not have a thermostat and flaps.

If these are not there, air backs up under the engine and the fan has a harder time blowing cooling air over the cylinders and heads due to the pressure increase below.

These fit 40hp through 1600cc upright engines.

Price: $44.95
