Crankshafts & Pulleys for VW Bus T2
Crankshafts & Pulleys for VW Bus T2
The heart of your boxer – Precision and balance for the open road.
The crankshaft is the core of your engine's rotating assembly, converting piston power into motion. For the VW Bus T2—whether powered by the classic Type 1 engine or the robust Type 4 "pancake" engine—a perfectly balanced crankshaft is vital for bearing longevity and cabin comfort. At aircooledshop.com, we provide high-quality components designed to withstand the rigors of heavy camping gear and long-distance travel.
Crankshafts: Built for Endurance
We offer crankshaft solutions for every T2 project:
- Stock Replacement Crankshafts: Perfect for original T2a and T2b restorations, manufactured to exacting factory tolerances.
- Counterweighted Crankshafts: These reduce internal vibrations and stress on the engine case, making them essential for any high-performance or long-lasting rebuild.
- Stroker Cranks: Increase your displacement and torque – the best way to give your Type 4 or Type 1 engine more "grunt" for mountain passes.
Pulleys & Hardware
Precision extends beyond the engine case. External components are just as critical:
- Aluminum Pulleys: Featuring laser-etched timing scales for pinpoint ignition tuning on your T2.
- Steel Pulleys: Heavy-duty versions that provide extra rotating mass for a smoother idle and improved harmonics.
- Essential Hardware: Main bearings (standard & oversize), woodruff keys, and premium oil seals to keep your engine bay clean.
Expert Tip: For the best results in a T2 rebuild, we recommend dynamic balancing of the entire rotating assembly (crankshaft, flywheel, and pulley) as a single unit. This ensures a "silk-smooth" engine feel that you’ll notice on every highway mile.
