EMPI Leak-Proof Pushrod Tubes
EMPI offers leak-proof pushrod tubes designed to fit a wide range of air-cooled Volkswagen engines, including the 1200cc to 1600cc models found in the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Type 2 Transporter. The benefit of these pushrod tubes is the prevention of oil leaks, achieved through an O-ring seal that provides a positive, leak-free seal and is reinforced by a spring-loaded design or O-rings with stainless steel springs to maintain constant tension. These pushrod tubes allow for quick replacement of damaged or leaking ones, often without needing to remove the engine or cylinder heads, making them ideal for both quick repairs and permanent installations. Their construction often includes heavy-duty aluminum, which is both strong and corrosion-resistant, with some high-performance versions featuring larger inner diameters that allow for increased pushrod clearance. Order the pushrod tubes designed for your application needs.

EMPI Oil Filler and Breather Box Kits
EMPI oil filler and breather box kits provide improved engine crankcase ventilation, which helps reduce pressure buildup and prevent oil leaks by collecting oil mist and returning it to the engine. The dual-purpose kits have an integrated filler cap, making oil additions more convenient. The kits can be plumbed to vent multiple engine areas such as valve covers and air cleaners. The breather box collects oil mist, which can be returned to the engine, helping to prevent oil spots on the ground that a simple hose breather might leave. The oil filler/breather box kits are made from polished or billet aluminum, providing a clean and attractive look for the engine bay.

EMPI Forged Rocker Arm Assemblies
These superior quality forged rocker arm assemblies from EMPI are just the answer for mild street or competition engines. They provide enhanced engine strength and performance through the use of durable, high-strength materials and advanced lubrication designs. The rocker arms are manufactured from forged chromoly steel and are precision ground and heat-treated. Alloy adjusting screws are drilled through, ensuring both the screws and rocker arms are fully lubricated. All associated parts, including shafts, blocks, and shims, are made from high-strength alloy. Precision ground bronze bushings with through-hole lubrication ensures that premature failure of the old needle bearing rocker arm design is a "Thing of the Past". These assemblies come as complete kits with all the necessary hardware for a straightforward install process. Note: Requires cut-to length pushrods to set correct valve train geometry.

EMPI Valve Covers
The EMPI valve covers are a popular upgrade for air-cooled VW engines due to their ability to create a tighter, more positive seal than traditional bail-clip style covers. They offer benefits like enhanced durability and leak prevention through their bolt-on, cast aluminum design, as well as improved engine cooling via a finned design and increased clearance for high-lift rocker arms. The valve covers are available with polished fins and a black background, adding a custom look to the engine bay. Some feature a boss that can be drilled and tapped for venting to a breather box, which is useful for performance and off-road setups. Order the model for your application.

EMPI Extra Capacity Oil Sumps
EMPI extra capacity oil sumps increase oil capacity by 1.5 to 3.5 quarts, which prevents engine oil starvation, improves cooling due to their finned design, and extends oil life. These benefits are particularly advantageous for engines used in high-stress applications like off-road and performance vehicles. The cast, finned design of the sump increases the surface area, allowing oil to dissipate heat more effectively and keeping engine temperatures stable. Better cooling and a larger volume of oil can lead to longer intervals between oil changes, as the oil experiences less thermal breakdown. Kits typically come complete with all necessary hardware, including multiple sizes of pickup tubes to fit various 1200-1600cc engine types. Choose the oil sump model designed for your application needs.
