Having bought a 914 flywheel for my w code motor i need to buy the correct seals to reassemble that area.
I have the large outer seal but looking on the parts catalogue there is a felt ring and i've also seen a large o ring advertised. Can someone advise about this o ring, i see no place that one would sit and seal. Also the felt ring. Is 111 105 311 the same as 021105311? |

Yes...buy the o ring and feltring as well. Both really cheap. You MUST have the O ring. The felt ring is something you could run without if it was not available and the build is waiting. But it is a cheap part so do not skip it to save money (about 1 dollar). The engineers at VW/Porsche did not create the felt ring if not really needed so it has a (small) purpose. It creates a dustbarrier. Good luck !

The o-ring sits in a groove in the flywheel where it goes over the end of the crank.
