Engine Compartment Seal, 1972-79 Type 2 and Type 4, 411-813-225 is a replacement engine seal for VW Busses with the Type 4 engine. This can also be used to Type 1s, if you don't want to have to remove the engine to change the engine seal!
This engine seal is installed after the engine is put in, and removed prior to engine removal. It's shaped like an "H" with one slit fitting the engine tin, and the other fitting the body.
When using this instead of the stock type 1 engine seal, it's more forgiving of "gaps" or poor alignment of the engine and/or the body sheet metal due to accidents having tweaked the body.
Remember, when installing this seal the shiny side goes DOWN toward the road! This seal is 121" long, 2-1/4" wide overall, and has a 5/8" wide center section in the slotted portion.
