Elring Engine Gasket Set – 111-198-007ANS

When rebuilding a classic Volkswagen Type 1 engine, the 111-198-007ANS is the preferred choice for professional engine builders. The integrity of an air-cooled engine depends on its ability to maintain oil pressure and seal combustion gases without the aid of a liquid cooling system. Elring’s superior composite materials handle the extreme thermal expansion cycles of the 1600cc engine better than standard aftermarket kits.

This set is designed for the "dual relief" and late-style single relief cases common in Beetles, Buses, and Ghias from the mid-60s through the late 70s. By providing the exact factory-spec thickness for cylinder shims and oil pump gaskets, it helps maintain the correct deck height and oil pressure for your rebuild.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Proper Cleanliness: Ensure all mating surfaces on the engine case and heads are scraped completely clean and degreased before installing new gaskets. Even a tiny speck of old gasket material can cause a leak.
Pushrod Tube Seals: When installing the pushrod tube seals included in this kit, ensure the "seam" of the pushrod tube is facing up to prevent oil from pooling and leaking past the new rubber.
Choose Your Main Seal: Since this kit excludes the rear main seal, be sure to order a high-quality Double-Lip Silicone Rear Main Seal separately to finish your long-block assembly.
