Default Victor Reinz Bottom End Gasket Kit Identification 87 944 Turbo

I plan to label each pack accordingly​ to match VR pack numbers with where each seal actually goes and what every seal is. Please post if you know. I'll be editing this post with all the final results for easier searching for people looking at all these seals for the first time. The last thing anyone wants is to mix and match seals on their fresh build and get a leak. This is a kit ordered from Lindsey Racing for an 1987 944 turbo. Updates to come!


VR: 30 x 48 x 7 counter clockwise rotation seal
Lower balance shaft front seal


VR: 30 x 47 x 7 clockwise rotation seal
Upper balance shaft front seal


VR: 38 x 52 x 7 clockwise rotation seal
Front main seal ( oil pump )


VR: 17-00722-01
2 balance shaft front cap o-rings ( large black )
2 balance shaft rear plug o-rings ( red orange )
Oil console socket, housing to block ( green )
2 metal washers - for oil housing fittings.


VR: 17-00721-01
Oil housing to block (big sq. edged - black-non turbo)
Oil pickup tube seal ( transparent foggy clear )
front crank shaft to drive gear o-ring ( black )
Upper B.S. bearing cap, for 2 piece covers only ( small sq. edged black )
AOS larger lower o-ring (red orange)
4 different sized metal washers - for block sensors and banjo bolts

Default Great post

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what and where all of these gasket where for. This is a BIG help!

The Oil Tube Pickup seal is a plie of junk, Might as well use silly putty.. Not sure why VR puts them in there but anyone who has done bottom ends tosses it and get an OEM Black one...

That would be a huge +

Can anyone confirm the black o-ring in kit VR: 17-01196-01 ? Not sure I ever had to use it on my turbo block or not. But I'd like to update the first post if anyone knows

I believe that is the oil pressure relief valve spring
