EMPI 69mm Forged Stock Crankshaft | VW Type 1 Air-Cooled (00-8119-0)

Every rebuild starts with the crank, and on a stock-displacement Type 1 the 69mm forged crankshaft is the foundation you want under a fresh motor. This is EMPI's 69mm forged stock-stroke crank (00-8119-0) on standard VW journals — forged steel, not cast, so it holds up to hard street use where a cast replacement can let go.

Features

• Forged construction — markedly stronger than a cast crank, the right call for a motor you'll actually drive hard
• 69mm stock stroke — correct for 1200–1600cc displacement
• Standard VW rod and main journals — runs standard-size bearings
• 4-dowel flywheel flange — stock-style fitment
• A direct, durable replacement for a tired or out-of-spec original crank

Fitment

CONFIRMED: VW Type 1 1200–1600cc — Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, Bus — using the stock 69mm stroke and standard journals. NOT CONFIRMED: stroker builds (those need a longer-stroke crank such as the 74/76/78/82mm cranks), Type 4 engines. Check that your bearings match standard journal size.
