1960–1979 Beetle Bus Ghia Cork Valve Cover Gasket 113101481F - OEM Number(s) (113-101-481-F)
Prevent oil leaks and maintain correct valve cover sealing on your 1960–1979 Air Cooled Volkswagen with this OE style cork valve cover gasket — correct thickness, correct shape, no trimming required.
The valve cover gasket on an Air Cooled VW engine is one of the most replaced maintenance items on the car — and a brittle, flattened, or incorrect gasket is almost always the source of oil drips and leaks at the cylinder head. This OE style cork valve cover gasket is designed to match original thickness and shape for a secure, correct seal between the valve cover and cylinder head on 1200cc to 1600cc engines. Compatible with both steel and aluminum valve covers — no trimming, swelling, or over-compression issues.
Replace both gaskets at every valve adjustment for correct maintenance and lasting reliability. Two required per engine — sold individually.

Because Details Matter:
Your valve covers protect the lifter gallery — and a brittle or flattened gasket is the most preventable cause of an oil mess on an otherwise clean Air Cooled VW engine. This OE style cork gasket installs correctly with no trimming, seals correctly at every valve cover surface, and holds up through the heat cycling that destroys inferior gasket materials. Replace both at every valve adjustment and keep the engine bay clean where it counts.
