Will this oil pump cover gasket fit my 1987 Vanagon Westfalia with a 1900cc engine?

Yes, this gasket is designed to fit all 1900cc and 2100cc Waterboxer engines from 1983 to 1991 Vanagons, including your 1987 Westfalia. It works with both 2WD and 4WD models that have 8mm oil pump studs.

I've noticed oil leaking around the oil pump cover—will this gasket stop the leak?

This gasket replaces the original seal that often develops leaks over time. Installing it should stop the leak around the oil pump cover. If leaking continues after replacement, you might want to upgrade to GoWesty's High Volume Oil Pump Kit for a more secure o-ring seal and improved oil pressure.

Is installation of this oil pump cover gasket something I can do myself? Any tips?

If you're comfortable with basic mechanic work, installing this gasket is straightforward. Just remove the oil pump cover, clean the mating surfaces thoroughly to remove old gasket material, install the new gasket, and reattach the cover. Make sure the oil pump studs are the correct 8mm size to ensure a proper fit.

Does this gasket come from an original manufacturer or an aftermarket brand?

This is a quality aftermarket gasket made by a reputable brand. It meets or exceeds the fit and function of the original part and is a reliable replacement for your Vanagon's oil pump cover seal.

Will replacing this gasket improve my engine's oil pressure or performance?

Replacing a leaking or damaged oil pump cover gasket primarily stops leaks and helps maintain proper oil sealing. While it doesn't directly boost oil pressure, fixing leaks prevents oil loss. For improved oil pressure and sealing, consider upgrading to the High Volume Oil Pump Kit, which is designed for better oil flow and a superior o-ring seal.
