About this model

A simle tool to split aircooled Volkswagen engine cases. You will need a 3/8 bolt nut and washer. The bolt length is about 1 3/4" long. Trim down a 2" bolt a hair to get the maximum separation. Place in the oil pump recess of your engine case and tourqe the nut unitll the case is split. Easy as that. EDIT: I added a second file of the same model with an extended bolt hole for little more pushing distance.
