EMPI Aluminum Full-Flow Oil Pump Kit — 1971+ Dish Cam | VW Type 1 Air-Cooled (16-9717-0)

EMPI Aluminum Full-Flow Oil Pump Kit — 1971+ Dish Cam, 32mm Gears (16-9717-0)

Oil pressure is what keeps an air-cooled motor alive, and the stock pump is the weak link the moment you add displacement or RPM. This is EMPI's aluminum full-flow oil pump kit (16-9717-0) for 1971-and-later Type 1 engines with the dished cam gear — high-capacity 32mm gears that move more oil, with a billet full-flow cover so you can plumb an external cooler and filter.
