Fresh bearings are non-negotiable on any rebuild — reusing old rod bearings on a new crank is how you wipe a journal. This is a standard-size rod bearing set (98-1575-B) for 1200-1600cc Type 1 engines, a complete set of four for a standard-journal VW crankshaft.
Features
- Complete set of four rod bearings — everything to do all four rods at once
- Standard size — for an un-ground, standard-journal crankshaft
- For 1200-1600cc Type 1 engines
- The right move on every rebuild: never reuse old rod bearings on a fresh build
Fitment
CONFIRMED: VW Type 1 1200-1600cc — Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, Bus (T1/T2), Thing/181, Buggy, Baja — with a standard-size crankshaft rod journal. NOT CONFIRMED: ground/undersize cranks (those need the matching oversize bearing), Type 4 engines. Check your crank's journal size before ordering — if it's been turned, you need the matching undersize set, not standard.

How many are in the set? Four — one per rod.
