I pulled my VP off my 602.911 and it has 247K. I guess I have been lucky. It is is the original open-ball bearing style. I am in the process of rebuilding the top end and have decided to dig deep for funds to replace as a result of numerous threads on this forum including this one. Probably should have factored in VP R&R from the beginning since its a "while you're in there" item.
The Pierburg at AllParts Express has the dam(n) style gasket pictured. I am hoping to just slap the new one on where the old one was.
