I’ve narrowed it down to possibly needing a retorque of the heads. Possible slack in the valve train

I am very guilty of this… I’ve had a lot of mixed feelings working on the bus recently. When I first started posting about my project, I was losing my job, planning a wedding and trying to figure out my direction in life. I had an opportunity to do some really cool things with Green that I wouldn’t have been able to do elsewhere so I decided to strip her down and go for it. Things ended up not panning out the way I’d hoped and the position I’ve put myself and my family in is tough at the moment. However, things have a way of working out, so I’ll be taking my time from now on and doing things right (after my wedding next week!)

That appears to be a proportioning valve. Also you really out to replace the break hoses while you have it apart.

25 days until I get married and drive away in our vw bus! Brake system is in (for the most part) Still need to add a fluid reservoir and attach the pedal but that’s small compared to what we got done today! P.s. lemme know if you know what that weird block was. It goes between the brake MC and the rear lines. Maybe some kind of booster? Not sure 🤔 #fyp #vwbus #classiccars #greenmachine

It sucks that I couldn’t when I planned. I only had the one shot to do the sandblasting and the machine didn’t work :/ I’ll be tearing everything back apart after my wedding so don’t fear! I can’t travel the country in Green if she’s got a bad frame like that!

Day 15 of turning my vw bus into a camper to travel the country in! Got the bus to a new location after my time working at Steve’s shop. Managed to get the engine and transmission installed at the shop which is going to make everything easier in the long run. Since we’re going backwards and reinstalling things I’m going to pause my series here and do some fun videos about me reinstalling different systems! Can’t wait to drive Green with no windshield! #greenmachine #vwbus #vanbuild

Something some new Volkswagen owners didn’t know is Volkswagen micro buses came in varieties of styles, such as the camper version it’s nice to see that there are still people out there, young and old that like the older style Volkswagen micro buses versus the new ugly ones that recently came out

Sandblasting this weekend did NOT go according to plan… or really go at all. Despite my best efforts to work with the system I had, I was barely able to do much sand blasting at all. I did end up getting a full refund for the rental though which is nice. Thank you @sunbeltrentals Looking forward to another weekend to get this right. #vwbus #day13 #vanbuild #vwbuscamper #renovation #vw #vanlife #projectcar #vwbusrestoration #greenmachine

#day12 of turning my #vwbus into a camper to cross the country in! Removed all of my license plates from the back as well as a small strip of the patchwork floor the previous owner put in. I have never seen the original cargo floor until now and I’m pleasantly surprised to see the middle is fairly intact! There is no way to tell how solid that floor is until after sandblasting so I don’t expect to be keeping any of it at the moment. We won’t have to wait much longer though since this weekend is sandblasting day! #vanbuild #projectcar #greenmachine #mechanic #carrestoration #campervanrestoration #vwbusrestoration #vwbusner #kombilife #kombilifestyle #campervan
