The washer is concave. The concave side faces towards the steel balls.

Next time take the amount you’re narrowing out of the middle and the just relocate the mounting brackets. Less you have to cut up the beam and weld back together

Very nice, doing and old 1965 1200 40hp single port right now. Cleaning everything up and will do the same thing on these heads. Not sure about the valve condition yet and there is some impact damage from a blown-out piston in one area but not where you lapped the inside so should be good. Definitely had blow by on the head where the blown piston was so lapping is a must on these. I got one of those cheap spring removers too, so your video is helpful setting up for this.

Use a piece of pvc pipe just bigger then axle..slide boot on it then over axle remove pvc . Apply greas to pvc..first.. That's my idea anyhow..got to do this myself .just ordered the boots...thank for posting. 👍

what im thinking is your fuel getting too cold with no heat risers. Ive got a friend of mine who delete his heat risers and his engine wouldnt handle acceleration properly. With a Vacuum leak, you idle would be all over the place, range about 850 then dropping to 600 then goes back up, etc...

You may want to consider this... Your MIG welder can obviously weld with steel wire, but it can also work with MIG Brazing Wire as well... Now Mig Brazing is not Mig Welding, but it is extremely strong and it uses a whole lot less temperature, so it is much less likely you will have burn-through or warpage of the sheetmetal with MIG Brazing. Brazing of course is "bonding" it is not "welding", but the bond created with the bronze is very very strong, so strong you would probably break the two pieces of metal you have brazed together before you would break the brazed union. It's something to consider, and it is a perfectly acceptable method of working with sheet metal.
@BillySBC10 ай бұрын
@@SchoolStGarage Check out a few videos on "MIG Brazing" and "Brazing" in general. The temperature required for brazing is very much less than welding and provides a very strong bond that in many ways is nearly as strong as a weld. Good luck with your projects.

I’ve been welding on rusty vws for years and sometimes it’s hard to do . I’m not the best but what I’ve found like here on my latest beetle video VW Beetle 1972 Saved from breaking. Repairing the RUST !! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpKylZiJmLyWg7M Is fibreglass filler as I had a few deep dents that I never pulled out but a tip from bad Chad was to use fibreglass filler,smooth then body filler on top (bondo) it filled the dents and looks ok oh and hides the boger welds :) keep going and good to move on then go back like I’ve done recently 👍 keep going at it sir , it will be fine

Thanks for that articulate and instructional procedure! Your academic English background clearly helps the presentation, LoL. Too many of these KZbin videos suffer from poor presentation, unclear English and grammar, which makes them a bit tedious to follow. This is a fascinating project for us 'buggy hobbyists' (if you were a professor of philosophy, would that make you a 'Buggy Hobbsyest', I can't help but muse?). 😆 Thanks again for this insight into the interesting world of bug distributors!
11:30 > boot pull over solution - pull 1st boot over from the other side- no foldover! 2nd boot- Use thin plastic bag or wrap flat plastic to make greasy sliding sleeve, to allow 2nd boot to slide over the problem spots on axle.
