[T3] 1st oil change/vavles-need help

The oil change set is all you need; maybe a pair of rocker-cover gaskets in
case they get damaged when removing them, plus the oil.
What else you need depends on what's missing or what has broken.  Part
numbers are generally somewhere on the part.  TheSamba.com has a Type 3
parts book if you need to look anything up.
www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/type3_parts_book/ 
Your Friendly Local Auto Parts Stores (FLAPS for short) may be able to help
with normal service items, but check carefully as some of the bits for a Bug
aren't the same as a Type 3 part.  A specialist such as ISP West or other
places recommended on here are a better bet for  the less usual stuff.

I have the Haynes manual, which gives little.  What about part numbers? And
what parts!?
