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.

PERFECT SOLUTION FOR SMALL SPACES.
I recently purchased the Tutotak 6-Tier Book Shelf for my son's room, and I couldn't be happier with it! The 6-tier design is a huge plus. It allows for plenty of storage without taking up too much floor space. The shelves are just the right height for storing books, toys, and decorative items. The vertical design maximizes the use of space, making it ideal for a smaller room like my son's. Sturdiness: I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy this shelf is. Despite its slim profile, it holds up well even with a decent amount of weight on each shelf. Assembly: It was easy to assemble, and all the parts were clearly labeled. I was able to set it up within about 30 minutes by myself, and everything lined up perfectly. The instructions were straightforward, so I didn't have to spend much time figuring it out. Functionality: Not only is it great for books, but the different levels are also perfect for organizing his toys, art supplies, and even some of his favorite collectibles.. Final Thoughts: I’m really impressed with this shelf. It’s well-built, space-efficient, and versatile. It has made a huge difference in organizing my son’s room without making it feel cramped. If you have limited space and need something practical but stylish, I highly recommend this bookshelf!
