13 Engine overhaul - replacing the crank seal

During a complete engine overhaul, you will need to replace the crank seal. But replacement may also be necessary, when you discover an oil leak behind the flywheel, which will impair the operation of the clutch. We show in this video how to disassemble and reassemble the crank seal.

I know, maybe there should a TH-cam especially made for unprepared publishers ;-) We work on these videos as a team, my colleague has 50+ years experience in VW's, the prep days with him in the workplace are like a gift for me and I try to share that with you all. My other friends/colleagues at Paruzzi all have 20-30 years experience, so, the best fact-checkers in the air-cooled world. Thanks again for your great input.

How many crank seal we put for vw beetle?

[@paruzzi-english]

On VW Type 1 there is one crank seal. But, watch out, some flywheels (later types) have an O-ring in the flywheel, that also seals the crank. Older types have an additional paper seal. Watch the flywheel overhaul video for more information: th-cam.com/video/PJyZuIq-wEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WGQlfwn8_RsDnVxy
