914World.com _ 914World Garage _ O-rings on rocker studs.

Posted by: DuckRyder Apr 14 2004, 11:11 AM

The how to rebuild your air cooled vw shows orings on the rocker studs under the shaft mounts.

Mine had none when I took it apart, is it supposed to, and if so what purpose do they serve?

I assume they are rubber, not copper?

Type I only, I think. No o rings on a type IV

The T1 (bug) engine has them, the T4 doesn't.

Whew, I feel much better then I don't have to tear all the rockers back off. (just 2 for the leaking pushrod seals.)
