EMPI Cylinder Cool Tins for Type 1 & 3 VW Engines
Superior Cooling Performance
Keep your air-cooled engine running at optimal temperatures with these EMPI Cylinder Cool Tins. Originally designed for Type 3 engines, which were known for running higher head temperatures, these "cool tins" are a popular performance upgrade for Type 1 engines. They provide significantly better airflow and heat dissipation compared to the smaller stock deflector plates, ensuring your cylinders stay cool even under demanding conditions.
Vehicle Fitment and Specifications
These cooling tins are sold as a pair and finished in a clean, durable black. They are compatible with a wide range of Volkswagen applications, including the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing, and Type 3 models (Fastback, Squareback, Notchback). Please note that these are designed specifically for Type 1 and Type 3 upright or pancake configurations and will not fit Type 4 engines. They serve as a direct replacement for OEM part number 113-119-451D.
Pro Tech Tips for Installation
Tip 1: Remove Stock Deflectors First. Before installing these high-performance cool tins, ensure that you have completely removed the small, original stock deflector plates. These EMPI tins are designed to replace those plates entirely to provide a larger surface area for air redirection; they cannot be used in conjunction with the stock pieces.
Tip 2: Check for a Tight Seal. For maximum cooling efficiency, the tins must fit snugly against the cylinder fins. If there are large gaps, cooling air will escape before it can pull heat away from the engine. If necessary, gently hand-contour the edges of the tins to ensure they follow the curve of your cylinders perfectly.
Tip 3: Protect Your Pushrod Tubes. During installation, be mindful of your pushrod tubes. These tins sit deep within the engine's cooling system and wrap around the tubes. Use a gentle touch to slide them into place to avoid denting or crimping the tubes, which could lead to oil leaks or restricted rocker arm lubrication.
