Product Details

The EMPI 98-1278-B is a precision flywheel shim designed for VW air-cooled engines. This critical component helps establish proper crankshaft end play and ensures correct flywheel positioning for optimal clutch operation and engine performance.

Key Features:

  • Precision-manufactured to exact tolerances for accurate flywheel spacing
  • Essential for proper crankshaft end play adjustment during engine assembly
  • Helps prevent clutch engagement issues and transmission problems
  • Quality EMPI construction for reliable performance
  • Direct replacement shim for VW engine builds and rebuilds

Flywheel shims are used between the flywheel and crankshaft to achieve the correct end play specification, typically between 0.003" and 0.005" for VW engines. Proper shimming is essential during engine assembly to ensure longevity and prevent premature wear of engine components.

Very good.

Everything was great, packed very well. I appreciate it

Very easy, would like to see a cheaper shipping option especially with buying insurance on top.

I think it went well

Quick and easy

Thank you for this item at this price.

The free shipping sold me on this sale. Very happy

Exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully, I get it within the two days that was told.

I love my BBK parts, especially the fact that they are American made. The only problem I had with this order was from FedEx. I never received any shipping information until they had been sitting at my driveway for 24 hours. I received a notice that they were shipped and delivered all in the same day.
