Never use a air cooled pancake engine if you want reliable power. Water cooled not much better. Been there, done that folks. cylinders wobble, valves, pushrods......

the easiest and cheapest way to do 36 to 1 wheel with either vr or hall sensor is buy the kit from the dub shop . he does heaps of megasquirt stuff

I’ll give it to ya Clint, You’re getting closer to figuring it out. I would have given up years ago.

Glad to see you are tracking all of the issues!!

Great video! Enjoyed the walkthrough of your system as I've not been in the scene for a long time. However, I do electronics, so here's a little help with the "pull-up" understanding. With logic circuits such as this (crank sensor sending signals to the microcontroller), the sensor sends information with voltage "high"(+voltage), or "low" (grounded). The difference between high and low needs to be distinguishable to the microcontroller (ie. +5v and 0v, and anywhere between may not be read properly). A "pull-up resistor" helps to stabilize the +voltage so the circuit understands this as a "high" versus grounding of the circuit to show a "low". If you don't use this in some circuits, the +voltage can be seen as "floating"(non determinative voltage level), and not very stabile, often confusing the microcontroller so it can't read correctly. Also, using two resistors may have reduced the +voltage to a level where the microcontroller couldn't determine a "high" or "low" as well, resulting in sort of the same situation as "floating". Basically, using the "pull-up" helps the microcontroller to read the signals correctly. Hope that helps!

Get to the chase. To much yapping

awesome. thank you sir.

Great Video

Distributor drive shaft with case open???

Many years ago I built a 350 4 bolt main chevy engine and the cylinders were very rusty. I honed them really well and it did fine

Emily you ROCK!!!

Proud of you Broh!!

So exhilarating!

Nice information. Those 94mm cylinders look thin from here.

Does it have to be in gear or can it be in neutral?

that little bug can LIFT THEM WHEELS!!!

Probably a dumb question, but what’s the difference between them? Is the Ms3 just easier to install?

did you figure out why the smoke?

I put a garden sprayer nozzle on my oil cooler. It was extremely effective at lowering oil temperature when needed.

You can pack it with some Vaseline or Lucas oil stabilizer BEFORE you mount the pump. For whatever engine. It gives it a LOT better sucking oil from the sump.

Hey man, A great video. We have a similar event here in Australia. Drag challenge. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to Simon . So, thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

We are also loyal to royal. Tried an MSC in Europe last year and we were not fans. We also did a Baltics for 11 nights on Voyager of the Seas a couple of years ago and LOVED it.

Great video. Sorry you didn't make the entire week. Hope you get it figured out.

Nice! Maybe I will do this next time…😮

Looks like a lot of fun 😍

What a Beautifull thing to see.I live it guys.

Great vid, man. Looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks for the video. Subscribed. I am slowly working on converting my super pro bug back to the street for this.

Wonderful recap of events, and so good to see Prescott is still doing his thing! I remember him back in the 90s when we were in the MAVWC. So glad to see the learning process, and that VW performance is still fun! I miss it!

I install a "windage tray" in all of my engine builds . It does a good job of keeping the oil at the bottom of the case . The crank and rod assembly seems to always try to "whip" the oil up from the bottom of the case . They only cost around $15-20 dollars and they work .

I got tired of looking at you talking about the ship I thought you were going to SHOW us the ship

Bug pack cam?

Just curious did the ship especially your cabin smell musty? This ship had flooding end of January 2024 . Thank you

If you've ever removed all the factory galley plugs you would find some with a very long aluminium plug on the number 4 pulley end main bearing. This closes off most of the drilling leading to the bearing. This could be why you had a restricted flow from number 4. This may be deliberate by the factory so as to not have as much oil spraying next to the unsealed pulley. I haven't seen a failure solely at this bearing ever in an automotive application, so the lesser quantity of oil here is probably ok.

Good luck.

Nice! 😍

I’m not saying you’re from the Midwest but I feel like I know a Midwest accent when I hear one! Hello from WI!

Hey, good luck with Sick Summer. On your opening video, what rims do you have on the rear (race wheels) Also what size are they?

Get a little aluminum hydraulic harbor tool jack before you have a heart attack 😂

Try Freeall you will never waste your money on PB blaster again.

Proper definition of deck height is the distance from the crown of the piston at TDC to the deck of the combustion chamber. .040 is an efficient distance.

What if after all that you have a manifold leak and the motor rums like crap from sucking air, yes its possible, it you are gonna use used manifolds always place then in a vice and file the aluminum down completely flat with a fine file to prevent leaks as these do warp a lot

10:54 Actually opening the IDA

Wow!!

Is it true you need to "seat" the cylinder sleaves to the cylinder head by lapping them like you would a valve?

Your information is incorrect. There is a capacity 6,780.

PTFE is the way to go! Excellent set up, more modern parts on VW’s to make them faster.

Get ripped!
