I am rebuilding a 1970 Type I Volkswagen Beetle engine. When I took the engine apart there was only one air deflector on the right side of the engine underneath the cylinders and above the push rod tubes.
Should there also be one on the other side of the engine?

There should be one on each side. These deflect the air to the rear two cylinder heads.

Yes, I own a 1970 type 3 square back and a 68 type 1 bug. They both are present. Good luck

I even have outfitted some 1600's and that i've got on no account had a area of interest between the heads and block...it may reason a compression leak.....there's a hassle-loose concern with VW heads and that's that they warp very truthfully and whilst rebuilding you need to have the heads fluxed...

yes there should be a cooling-tin or deflector on both sides of the cylinders...

yes there should be on the other side. A lot of people leave these off but it reduces some of the cooling efficiency

Yes, there should be one on both sides. they help blow the air accost the bottom of the cylinders.
