Why should I upgrade to this stainless steel push rod tube shield kit?

This kit replaces the original push rod tubes with stainless steel ones, which are less prone to rust and corrosion and are much easier to deal with when you need to remove them in the future. The included mounting hangers make installation and removal a breeze compared to the stock setup. This kit is a great upgrade and will save you time and headaches down the road.

Will this driver-side push rod tube shield kit fit my 1989 Vanagon?

Yes, this kit is specifically designed to fit the driver's side of 1983-1991 Vanagons with the Waterboxer engine. Make sure you are ordering the correct side (driver's side) for your needs.

What's included in the push rod tube shield kit, and is installation difficult?

The kit includes the driver-side stainless steel push rod shield, four mounting hangers, and all the necessary stainless steel mounting hardware. The key benefit is the easier installation and removal due to the mounting hangers. The installation is straightforward, and we recommend following the factory service manual for best results. It's a great upgrade for anyone working on their Waterboxer engine.
