Fresh bearings are non-negotiable on any rebuild — reusing old rod bearings on a new crank is how you wipe a journal. This is a standard-size rod bearing set (98-1575-B) for 1200-1600cc Type 1 engines, a complete set of four for a standard-journal VW crankshaft.

Features

  • Complete set of four rod bearings — everything to do all four rods at once
  • Standard size — for an un-ground, standard-journal crankshaft
  • For 1200-1600cc Type 1 engines
  • The right move on every rebuild: never reuse old rod bearings on a fresh build

Fitment

CONFIRMED: VW Type 1 1200-1600cc — Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, Bus (T1/T2), Thing/181, Buggy, Baja — with a standard-size crankshaft rod journal. NOT CONFIRMED: ground/undersize cranks (those need the matching oversize bearing), Type 4 engines. Check your crank's journal size before ordering — if it's been turned, you need the matching undersize set, not standard.

How many are in the set? Four — one per rod.

Durable, Dogs love it
Color: Red
My Frenchie is a crazy chewer and can chew up a nylabone in a day, so I was looking for something that would last longer. So far this is holding up, and is pretty durable. Both my dogs like it a lot, it’s easy for them to grasp, and chewable but still very tough material. I suspect at some point it’ll wear down, but not for a while. The size was just as described / expected. Not too small and not too big

NOT FOR PLAYING CATCH.
Color: Blue
This toy is quite heavy, making it good for a chew toy or for fetch, but not for catch. It could very easily injure your dog as it damned near did mine.
