Long bloc, crankcase, add-on-parts for the Bus
Complete housing / attachments
The overhaul of a complete housing / attachments is the absolute centerpiece of every engine overhaul in the classic VW Bus T2 – and should be approached with the utmost care and absolute priority. Whether during a complete overhaul of the air-cooled boxer engine or when replacing worn components: Only when all parts are perfectly matched and work smoothly will the legendary classic car run powerfully, reliably, and with full torque on the road. We reveal why complete housing / attachments are indispensable for every T2 fan, what steps play a role in assembly and maintenance, and what you must look out for when choosing the right parts for your engine type.
Why is a complete housing / attachments an important step in engine overhaul?
The repair forms the basis of engine care – only when the engine block is clean and intact can the subsequent cylinders, pistons, and attachments work optimally or transmit power correctly to the road. It is not enough to just clean the residues externally. While this washes away coarse dirt, carbon deposits, old gasket residues, or wear persist stubbornly – for the latter, you should also rely on professional cleaning agents or even specialized workshop assistance. These are removed with brake cleaner, scrapers & co.
When should I overhaul a complete housing / attachments?
Before the start of the season & in case of heavy wear! During the engine overhaul before spring, the traces of long storage or the past year are removed: old oil, resinified residues, and dirt. After many miles driven, abrasion, metal shavings, and the debris of old-timer everyday life disappear into the collection basin instead of clogging the oil circuit.
How does the assembly of a complete housing / attachments work?
These four belong to the basic equipment:
- a custom-fit complete housing / attachments
- an engine stand or a clean workbench
- High-quality assembly oil and sealing compound
- a calibrated torque wrench
For most work, a dust-free workshop environment is recommended as the basis for assembly. Apply the assembly oil in a thin layer to the bearing saddles and sliding surfaces and carefully put the components together. Ensure that all channels are absolutely free of contaminants. After assembly, a careful manual rotation of the engine is recommended to check smooth movement. This ensures that your T2 heart beats like on the first day.
Which variant fits my VW T2?
Actually, asking a counter-question is impolite. However, to choose the right complete housing / attachments during engine overhaul, we would like to know from you: Which engine type would you assign your bus to? Do you drive a classic Type 1 flat engine or the powerful Type 4 engine? Because for every engine half and version, there are the perfect components.
Type 1 engine (Early T2 and Beetle basis): If your boxer runs with classic dimensions and proven technology, you will find custom-fit housings and short blocks with us that exactly match the original specifications.
Type 4 engine (Fuel injection and large displacements): These engines demand robust bearing seats and special attachments. So that your T2 remains thermally stable even when fully loaded during a camping trip, we rely on the highest material quality and precision fit.
