Type 1 Rocker Cover Bundle Kit

Replacement rocker cover spring clip for Volkswagen aircooled 1200cc–1600cc Type 1 engines and Type 25 / T3 buses fitted with 1900cc and 2100cc watercooled engines. This spring clip holds the rocker cover firmly against the cylinder head to keep the rocker cover gasket compressed and prevent oil leaks.

Over time, original clips can lose tension due to heat and age, which can cause rocker cover oil leaks. Replacing weak or rusty clips helps maintain proper gasket sealing and prevents oil leaks down the side of the engine.

Sold individually, with 2 clips required per engine.

A money-saving bundle kit including rocker covers, clips and gaskets is also available (see part number ENGINEKIT00).

Top quality reproduction rocker cover designed for a wide range of classic aircooled Volkswagen engines, as well as later Waterboxer powered T25/T3 models. This is a direct replacement part, manufactured to provide a secure seal and correct fitment for reliable engine operation.

The rocker cover (also known as a valve cover) sits over the cylinder head and encloses the rocker arms and valve gear. Its primary function is to retain engine oil within the valve train area while preventing dirt and debris from entering. A good seal is essential, as oil leaks from this area are common on older engines and can lead to mess, oil loss, and potential engine damage if left unresolved.

These covers are designed to work with standard retaining clips and cork or rubber rocker cover gaskets, ensuring a tight seal against the cylinder head. Over time, original covers can become warped or corroded, causing persistent leaks—replacing them with a high-quality reproduction restores proper sealing and reliability.

Sold individually – 2 required per engine.
