EMPI Extra Long Crank Pulley Bolt & Washer — Chrome, for Bolt-In Sand Seal Pulleys | VW Type 1 Engine (00-9118-0)

EMPI Extra Long Chrome Crank Pulley Bolt & Washer (00-9118-0)

A bolt-in sand seal pulley sits farther out on the crank than a stock pulley, so the stock bolt does not reach enough threads to hold it. That is how pulleys walk off and chew up the crank snout. EMPI 00-9118-0 is the extra long, chrome-plated crank pulley bolt and washer that EMPI specifies for its bolt-in sand seal pulleys.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extra length: longer than stock, so it fully engages the crank threads through a bolt-in sand seal pulley.
• Specified by EMPI: the EMPI sand seal pulley instructions call for the #9118 bolt by number.
• Washer included: matched bolt and washer, no hunting through the coffee can.
• Chrome finish: it looks right in a dressed-up engine bay.
• Genuine EMPI: sold by an authorized EMPI dealer.

Fitment

This bolt fits the crankshaft pulley of VW Type 1 (upright-fan) engines fitted with a bolt-in sand seal pulley.

• NOT CONFIRMED: machine-in sand seal pulleys and non-EMPI billet pulleys, so check thread engagement.
