It is listed for 1966-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, 1983-1985 Volkswagen Vanagon, and 1986-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon applications, with fitment notes calling out upper/top placement for the Vanagon listings.

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the seals during push rod tube service or engine rebuild work, and verify the tube ends and sealing surfaces are clean before assembly. Confirm the correct application by year and chassis notes, especially for 1983-1985 Volkswagen Vanagon models from chassis #240062766 and 1986-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon upper applications. The part number GS33730 should be matched to the engine configuration before installation.
