EMPI HD Bubble-Top Engine Case — 94mm Bore, 8mm Studs | VW Type 1 Air-Cooled (98-0467-B)

An 8mm-stud 94mm case is the budget-conscious way into a big-bore Type 1 — all the displacement of a 94mm build without stepping up to 10mm studs. EMPI's HD bubble-top aluminum case (98-0467-B) is an all-new casting machined for 94mm cylinders, with the original 8mm case-stud threads retained.

Features

• All-new heavy-duty aluminum bubble-top casting
• Machined for 94mm cylinder spigots — ready for big-bore barrels
• 8mm case-stud threads — uses standard 8mm studs (not drilled to 10mm)
• Extra material in the upper case for strength under load
• Fresh machining throughout — cam tunnel, mains, lifter bores
