Re: oil pressure relief valve
They were solid originally. I believe the grooved ones started in 67. I have 2 stock 1300 engines (and 2 66 Java Greens!) and both have a solid valve, no groove. Casey

Re: Roof Rack
I have that same rack I bought from a guy in late 80's. He said it was original VW. I cannot get mine on my 66 because the gap is to tight at top of doors. Looks nice on your bug! Casey

I am sure why the VIN did not start at 116000001 on August 1 1965 for the 1966 model year. It shows that it did for 67 and later on the Samba site. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/bugchassisdating.php They did offer a 1200A which was a bare bones model. I believe it was called the standard...

Thanks. 1300 and 1600 use different wrist pins. The 1600 are longer due to bigger piston diameter. 85.5 for 1600 and 77mm for 1300. I bought a set of 1600 wrist pins a few years ago and had a machine shop cut them to correct length for 1300. Labor rate was more than the price of the wrist pins! I ma...

Wrist pin part number 1300
Does anyone know the part number for the 1300 wrist pin? My part book lists the same number 113 107 411 for 40hp and 1300. I have a set of German pistons and cylinders with rusty pins and looking for new ones. Casey
