I just drained the oil on our 52 for the first time in a many years after a rebuild. Its actually a 53 1500 , but still Porsche(11438) and a two piece case. I thought I had a supply of the oil screen gaskets. Only one correct one and two that don't fit. I can't find replacements at the usual suspects. Suggestions?
I was just offered a 36 horse VW longblock for a great price. What are the big differences?
Thanks for the help.

Re: two piece case
Wolfsburg west has what you need. You need the oil screen gaskets for a 36hp VW.

Re: two piece case
I think the 36 hp block is essentially the same once you line-bore it to the Porsche diameter and add the oil filter return line fitting. The internals are mostly not interchangeable.

Re: two piece case
The VW case is held together with case studs (pictured) and the Porsche case utilizes through-bolts. Walt at CE made new through-bolts for my 2-pcs case, and I think he was able to modify 3-pcs bolts for this purpose.Martin Benade wrote:I think the 36 hp block is essentially the same once you line-bore it to the Porsche diameter and add the oil filter return line fitting.
