EMPI Push Rod Tube Seals for High-Performance Tubes - 16 Piece Set
Product Overview
Maintaining a leak-free VW air-cooled engine requires precision sealing, especially at the pushrod tubes. This 16-piece set of EMPI replacement O-rings is specifically designed for the center section of high-performance, adjustable pushrod tubes. These rubber seals provide the necessary tension and fluid barrier where the two halves of the tube overlap, ensuring your oil stays inside the engine where it belongs.
VW Fitment and Compatibility
These seals are engineered specifically to fit EMPI high-performance pushrod tube sets, part numbers 00-4108-0 and 00-4109-0. These tube sets are commonly used on VW Type 1, 2, and 3 air-cooled engines (1200cc-1600cc based) found in Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Bus models, and custom Dune Buggies or Sand Rails. Because high-performance tubes often feature a telescopic or spring-loaded design, these center O-rings are vital for maintaining a seal during engine expansion and contraction.
Pro Tech Tips for Installation
Tip 1: Lubricate Before Assembly. Never install these O-rings dry. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil or a specialized assembly lubricant to the seals and the sliding surfaces of the pushrod tubes. This prevents the rubber from "bunching" or tearing as you slide the tube sections together, which is a common cause of immediate leaks.
Tip 2: Inspect for Burrs. Before installing the new seals, feel the edges of the metal pushrod tubes where the O-rings sit. If there are any sharp edges or burrs from previous use, lightly sand them down with fine-grit emery cloth. A tiny nick in the rubber during installation can lead to a persistent oil drip once the engine reaches operating temperature.
Tip 3: Replace as a Complete Set. While you may only see one tube leaking, O-rings typically degrade at the same rate due to heat cycles. Since this kit includes 16 pieces (enough to fully refresh the center seals on a standard 8-tube engine), it is best practice to replace all of them at once. This ensures uniform sealing pressure across the entire valvetrain and saves you from having to pull the rocker arms again in the near future.
