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!

Aluminum Engine Case, 85.5mm Bore, 8mm Case Savers, EACH, 043-101-025AL
Aluminum Engine Case, 85.5mm Bore, 8mm Case Savers, EACH, 043-101-025AL


 
This Aluminum Case for VW Beetle based engines is a dual oil pressure relief, and is universal to be used on Type 1, Upright Type 2, and Type 3 engines.

It's important to note that Aluminum cases are HEAVY, ~20lbs heavier than a magnesium case. You don't realize how much that is until you pick one up!

Also, other vendors will not tell you this, but Aluminum Cases will run around 20F hotter oil temps than the same engine using a Magnesium case.

Besides the oil temps, the weight IS an issue if you have a Auto-X or Hillclimb car, putting an extra 20lbs in the worst possible place is something you should consider (do you REALLY need an Aluminum case?). Another reason we lean toward Mg cases is that, in our experience, Aluminum cases are prone to cracking -- but on the flip side, aluminum is easier to repair IF something goes wrong!

You can use this in Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 applications.
