If you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Volkswagen, especially models with the 1700, 1800, or 2000cc engines from 1968 to 1979, you'll need to ensure the connecting rod and piston pin interface is solid.

Getting this critical connection right is key to a smooth-running and reliable engine.

This bushing is made from a well-built material that's meant to handle the constant movement and friction between the piston pin and the connecting rod. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's shaped to fit the original connecting rod bore, making installation straightforward for someone familiar with engine assembly. Proper installation involves pressing the bushing into the rod and then reaming it to the correct size for your piston pin, ensuring a precise fit.

This Clevite bushing is a popular choice for many engine rebuilds. It's a small but vital part that contributes to the overall performance and longevity of your engine. Make sure you have the right tools for pressing and reaming the bushing to size for a successful rebuild.
