Set your timing right the first time with the EMPI Sand Seal Degree Crank Pulley. This precision-machined aluminum pulley features a full 360-degree etched timing scale with clearly engraved degree markings, making ignition timing setup a breeze. The integrated bolt-in sand seal system prevents oil leaks at the crankshaft pulley — a common issue on air-cooled VW engines. The standard 6.75" diameter maintains stock alternator/generator output. Includes seal, collar, and spacers. Note: Requires extra-long crankshaft bolt, EMPI #00-9118-0, sold separately.

Key Features:

  • Precision-machined polished aluminum
  • Full 360-degree engraved timing scale
  • 5-hole design — standard stock size (~6.75" diameter)
  • Bolt-in sand seal design — eliminates crankshaft oil leaks
  • Includes sand seal, collar, and spacers
  • Direct replacement for stock pulley

Fitment:

  • VW Type 1 Beetle — all years with 1600cc-based upright engines
  • VW Type 2 Bus — 1950–1971 (upright engines only, not Type 4)
  • VW Karmann Ghia — all years and models
  • VW Type 3 (Squareback, Fastback, Notchback)
  • VW Thing (Type 181), 1973–1974
  • Custom sand rails, dune buggies, and trikes with VW air-cooled drivetrain

⚠️ Requires extra-long crankshaft bolt, EMPI #00-9118-0, sold separately. The stock bolt does not provide adequate thread engagement with this pulley.
