NOTICE

Many sought after parts are backordered these days. Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our company's ability to restock items reliably. We are doing what we can to recover from the changes to our industry and the effects they have had on our business, but currently a lot of shipments are delayed and our response time to emails are slow (we are severely short-staffed).


Please do NOT email to inquire for stock status. Instead, to get stock status, place an order request, and the items will ship if they are in-stock, OR we will post an itemized stock status for delayed items typically within 2-3 business days.

Placing an order request adds you to the reservation waitlist for out of stock items. We work diligently to source and fulfill backordered items as best we can -- backorders with unreliable restock ETAs are VERY frustrating for us as well. You can trust that even if we can't reply to your email, we ARE working on it and will contact you when we have any updated news to share. And of course, you can also email to cancel un-shipped/un-paid items at any time as long as they are not special order or made/machined-to-order.


Please only continue if you are prepared to be PATIENT. Your requested items might be significantly delayed by supplier-level backorder timeframes, and we usually aren't given reliable ETA information.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

NGK BP5EY Spark Plug, 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, 13/16" Socket
NGK BP5EY Spark Plug (per EACH), 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, 13/16" Socket
Price: $4.95

At Aircooled.Net we prefer NGK Spark Plugs over Bosch.

The BP5EY spark plug has a V-Groove projected tip, suitable for carbureted and fuel injected aircooled VW engines. The projected tip runs better under all conditions (cold and hot) than conventional spark plug tips do (which tend to shroud the spark).

The V-Groove offers more routes for the spark to travel, resulting in less chances of misfires. This plug is the correct heat range for 90% of our customers driving VW Beetles and Ghias, and even most VW busses and VW Vanagons.

If the engine runs HOT, you can use an NGK "6" instead, being one step colder than the 5.

The BP5EY has 14mm threads, and is 3/4" reach (long). It fits the Type 4 heads, but it also fits the newer Factory VW DP heads, because the 1/2" reach plugs had a tendency to strip, so the 3/4" reach is an improvement.

Heat Range: Stock Heat Range is a "5". "6" is used in busses and Type 3s. "7"s are a really "Hot Street" plug, and "8"s and "9"s are almost exclusively Turbo Use.

Price: $4.95

NGK B7ES Spark Plug, 14 x 3/4" Reach Threads, Conventional Tip, 13/16" Socket is a regular tip spark plug, suitable for VW engines. Regular tips are less expensive and give piston clearance that can be a problem with projected tips.

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 44111
Price: $6.00
Item eligible for Econo/1st Class Mail shipment, min ship charge applies

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 44111 is the best thread repair kit available. This size is typically used to repair damaged spark plug threads in cylinder heads. For this item we use Copper Inserts, it is more consistent size-wise, and has better heat transfer, than the steel inserts. These Inserts are sold per EACH.

Time-Sert inserts are superior in every way to typical "Heli Coil" thread repair kits (which are usually wrapped wire, very weak and troublesome to install!).

Time-Sert inserts are solid, and also have a flared shoulder that prevents leakage, and locks the insert into place without excessive Loctite needed.

The repair process is to drill out the old threads, then use the shoulder cutting tool (To make room for the insert's shoulder on the top), tap the hole, then install the new insert. Hole will be repaired, and will be stronger and better than it was when it was new, due to the larger diameter holding power!

Big-Sert (Time-Sert) Thread Repair Insert, 14 x 1.25 x 3/4" Long, 51407 is the thick walled insert to repair previously damaged and repaired spark plug threads in cylinder heads, where the insert pulled out and you have to RE-FIX it! This item has an 18mm OD. For this item we use Copper Inserts, it is more consistent size-wise, and has better heat transfer, than the steel inserts. These Inserts are sold per EACH.

Time-Sert inserts are superior in every way to typical "Heli Coil" thread repair kits (which are usually wrapped wire, very weak and troublesome to install!).

Time-Sert inserts are solid, and also have a flared shoulder that prevents leakage, and locks the insert into place without excessive Loctite needed.

The repair process is to drill out the old threads, then use the shoulder cutting tool (To make room for the insert's shoulder on the top), tap the hole, then install the new insert. Hole will be repaired, and will be stronger and better than it was when it was new, due to the larger diameter holding power!

Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long
Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long
Price: $19.95

Spark Plug Starter Threading Tool, 12" Long is a fantastic toolbox item! For years we used to use a length of breather hose to start spark plugs in difficult to access places, but this tool is better! This tool is a "Must Have" in the toolbox of any VW Beetle or Bus Enthusiast.

Internal Cable within a "stiff" Exoskeleton do it! We recommend that you loosen your plugs with your ratchet and socket as normal, then push this tool on and bend it so that it routes and aims properly. Now remove the plug. Put the new one in the tool, and it's already aimed for an easy thread starting job, minimizing the risk of cross threading! You'll finish the job with your ratchet and socket again. The Exoskeleton is stiff to hold it's shape, it won't wriggle, flex, or get tweaked if you have to "crank" the internal cable!
