Oil rings between case

RAC400 · Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2005 7:53 am Post subject: Oil rings between case

Does anyone know if a 1970 1600 requires the o rings between the case halfs. I assemble my engine last night and did not install o rings that came in kit. Apprantly some engines require these o rings and some years do not. I am just not sure if mine requires them.

Thanks

It needs them.

I pulled the cases apart. and I do not see any sort of recess where these o rings may go. Does this mean I have a newer case?

The recesses are on the distributor half of the case.

I am looking at the case halfs right now, and I do not see any sort of recess. Are they not typically where the 6 case studs are ? I thought I read some where that later year cases do not these recess. ???????

Actually the recesses are on both halves.
I'll get some pics up in a few.

If that is the case, then my case halfs do not have the recesses. Is it true that later model cases do not have these recesses????

Unless you have a new CB Alum case and it will look like this.
with shuffle pins and no seal relief.

My case halfs do not look anything like the pics. There are no recess areas. How do I seal this. Sealing washer / nut. ???

Thanks

sorry to hijack this thread but it reminded me of this. I was trying to take the o rings out of my case, and i found them to be EXTREMELY hard. I pushed on them with a screwdriver and they didnt budge or flex or squish or anything. My screwdriver eventually slipped and scratched the case and I decided to stop before I did something stupid. I figured they would be soft rubber but maybe im missing out on something.

What do you do if your case has been shuffle pinned as in the example above?

What years did the cases not have this sort of recess.?? The vw is a 70. Not sure on original motor or not.
