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!

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 5/16-24 x .620" Long, 05623
Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 5/16-24 x .620" Long, 05623
Price: $4.00
Item eligible for Econo/1st Class Mail shipment, min ship charge applies

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 5/16-24 x .620" Long, 05623 is the best thread repair kit available. This size is typically used to repair Sig Erson or Gene Berg Rocker Arms, when the threads in the Adjusting Screw get buggered up. 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!

Porsche Valve Adjusting Screw, Each, 901-105-370-02
Porsche Valve Adjusting Screw, EACH, 901-105-370-02
Price: $34.95

Porsche Valve Adjusting Screw, Each, 901-105-370-02 are the finest valve adjusting screws available, GENUINE PORSCHE! These are superior in every respect to the "Budget" copies of this quality part. Ball Swivel keeps even valve contact at all angles. These are a wise idea if you have a higher than stock valve lift, since the increased adjuster angle runs the edge of the stock adjuster into the end of the valve as angle increases.

IMPORTANT! Do NOT use these on hydraulic lifter engines, RISK OF FAILURE IS HIGH! Pivoting adjusting screws need "valve lash" to give oil the chance to get in there and lubricate, with no clearance they can gall and fail quickly!
