Hey guys apparantly my beetle has a 1200 crankcase with 1600 cylinders and heads fitted to it and i'm a bit unsure what parts I need.
It has a few leaks at the moment so I have the motor out ready to replace some gaskets but I don't know what parts to get. Will a gasket set for a
1300 be different or will most of them fit? Also I have not been able to find a set for a 1200 available online, does anyone know where to find
one?
Thanks, Toby
rod penrose has elring kits at good price with all parts for all motors main diff is oil cooler seals n sp gaskets , oil pump gasket ...um a few things ..but are universal kits

Micks motors or Vintage will have the gasket sets. Kit I got from Micks covered oil seals for 1200 and 1300 motors.
Try to figure out where the leaks are coming from as if the barrels have been machined could mean barrel base is leaking n not sure you can get paper
seals any bigger than 1200 for that.
Hi
Don't use paper gaskets under the cylinders, they only squash and then make the heads loose.

Hi
VW didn't do everything perfect, paper gaskets in that area is just one of them, I use Curil by Elring in that area.

i dont think the barrel gaskets are even supplied in the kit these days unless its an old stock item
