Description: These gaskets are so much better, they are patent pending. This fits all 1600cc based air cooled VW engine, bug, beetle, bus, ghia. The number one maintenance headache is valve cover gasket leaks. Ask anyone, we all have a special process, special "goop", we put on the cork gaskets to get them to not leak. I have seen all sorts of goop used - black windshield adhesive, wheel bearing grease, white lithium grease, blue RTV, red RTV, gold RTV, construction wall adhesive, super glue,,,you name it, someone has tried to put it on cork gaskets to get them to not leak. These are for the 40hp & 1600 cc base engines, will not fit 36hp or type iv engines. As you know, stock VW gaskets leak, and require you to use some sort of "goop" to seal them up and hold position, silicone and neoprene gaskets are just as bad, but not needed with this sandwich gasket. It has 22 gauge steel for the middle, 1.5mm cork on both sides, water jet cut for perfect fit. Cork is glued to the steel with "mil spec" "aerospace approved" adhesive. This means the steel fits well, and the top will not bow down, bottom will not bow up, you can install your gaskets dry, the way VW intended you to do it. Total gasket thickness is 3.94mm, slightly thicker than a stock gasket and with minimal cork compression it has the highest sealing pressure.
