DBW Driverpak 87mm top end rebuild kit for 1966-79 VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, Thing, and Bus with Type 1 engines. Includes 87mm pistons & cylinders, stock style cylinder heads with 35mm intake valves, 32mm exhaust valves, and 53cc combustion chambers, Elring gasket kit, and stock style replacement pushrod tubes.
This kit will fit any 1300-1600cc VW Type 1 engine and the 87mm cylinders do not require any special machining - they will slide right in your engine case bores.
We recommend inspecting the bottom end while the pistons and cylinders are removed for any excess bearing play. This kit rebuilds the top end of your engine with all new pistons & cylinders, wrist pins, rings, cylinder heads, gaskets, and pushrod tubes.
