Always a pleasure to see the guts of these air cooled VW's. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@stebro2738]

by the way, from an old VW and 356 porsche guy, Kudos to DR Porsche for designing such a timeless (~90 years now..) engine .. that we still use and work on ALL over the world.. Keep on being one of the many disciples of the DR. We tree hugging and energy conserving weirdos ... knew many years ago that "bigger is not better". Love your enthusiasm and dedication to "simple is better"!!

[@gazzafloss]

I've often heard said, "the meek shall inherit the earth" a quote from the Bible I think. I say there's nothing meeker than an old VW or 356 Porsche air cooled engine... Fantastic, adequate and reliable.

[@salvaged_title]

Nice 👍. I built a dual baby Dell carb'd 1600DP with new dual-relief case & Engle 100 cam back in the day. Heads were used stock German that came out of a bucket from some dude's front yard. Crank was new cast, non CW Brazilian. Yeah talk about stupid lol. Motor was fun to drive tho, mated to a hog'd-out '65 6V stock gear'd trans.

[@TR5T]

VWs are HOT now. This will be a gem if you do it right.

[@tomashton1781]

im terms of the engine case, you bolt the, two halves together and have the machine shop line bore the the crank tunnel and cam tunnel, some engines have cam bearings (not all), the machine shop should be able to measure the crank for proper main bearing size, your cam specs are okay, the biggest mistake Ive seen is cam and lifter mis match, like a german cam and mexican llfters, that will tear the engine into junk after about 50 miles, also a high volume pump and a real oil filter kit with a cooler will help a hell of a lot, toss the dual exhaust in the trash, go with a four into one deal, and toss out the points distributor

[@vdub9943]

Just young and no experience yet, everyone will go through that. Are the Californian mice bigger than Rhode Island ones? Another great video!

[@lionbear7706]

why 1835 one may ask??? because its the biggest bore one can go with out changing crankshaft. had an old 1600 that io bored to that. but i did other things as well. my beetle could smoke 5l mustangs with ease, sure dropped alot of jaws when the dual webers were tuned right and the 009 bosch mech adv distributor was in the right spot lol. ohhhhh great memories ! thanks for the video

[@Mikefngarage]

guys now are taking them to 94 which is 1914. opening rubbing the case savers. Not the way I would do it. Now they have an 1835 thick wall that has the same opening at the case and you open the heads for a 94 then it is super thick walls so they dont run hot.

[@64KarmannGhia]

Before watching I’m gonna guess you’ll find some mouse nests! I saw there was some stuff blowing out of the exhaust and mice are known to build nests in the shrouds! Looking forward to watching this video

[@Mikefngarage]

right on that one but the end has much more shocking stuff. I cant believe I ever built this motor that way. but that is how I got it and I know on the first build It took every penny I had to get it done so I had no choice. The second one OMG really.

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Mike also the first place that one will crack is under the oil cooler the is a oval hole that will crack in there.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea each case has its issues. It is my last one so I gotta try to make it work.

[@ghostedyoutuber263]

WOW!! When I press the 2X button, you guys like doubled the speed of the tear down. You guys are fast.

[@garybob56]

First things first. Pull off that dam exhaust.

[@low-fi1103]

I made alot of the same rookie mistakes too when I was young, like the cooler block off to run an external cooler..thinking it would cool better because its not inside the motor..lmao..that was dumb...could only drive the car for about 45 min before i had to stop and let it cool off..ended up having a wrist pin circlip come apart inside my 92s..lol ..yeah, i had an 1835 as well..it gouged a huge gash in the cylinder and was smoking bad..still ran though...fast forward 15yrs and 2 engines later...The 10 years I spent working at Wolfgang International was quite the knowledge growing experience.

[@bedlamite42]

2:45 That sounds just like the engine I bought from MOFOCO in the late 80's. They wouldn't take it back so I pulled it apart. No slinger and the wrong bearings.

[@kyleott1082]

Had a 1600 made to that size, ran great for about 6 months. Its in my garage now. Dont know why, like you said it has great low end torque. May have some kinda bug???

[@71cuco]

I WAS REPAIRED A VW ENGINE WITH AS 41 BLOCK. 76 mm CRANKSHAFT, W 110 CAMSHAFT, CYLINDERS AND PISTONS 85.5 AND IN A ROUTE OF 800 KM I START BLOWING THE BANK HIT, WHEN I REMOVED THE ENGINE I HAD THE SAME AS YOURS, NO I KNOW IF THAT IS COMMON IN BLOCKS AS 41? BUY ONE OF BETTER ALUMINUM? OR WAS THE MECHANIC POSSIBLY NOT APPROPRIATELY TIGHTEN THE BLOCK ?, WHAT DO YOU ADVISE ME?

[@Mikefngarage]

yea that center main wears out sometimes pretty fast. Total solve with the aluminum case. All you need is to buy the one already opened for the cylinders you want. crank drops right in. Buy aluminum once and almost every time it is a one time purchase. They simply last forever compared to mag.

[@71cuco]

@@Mikefngarage Thank you, thank you very much for responding.

[@pauljanssen7594]

Funny it has a eight-pin flywheel for pins on the crank one thing I always recommend you have to run a lightened flywheel keep from pounding out the rear main bearing.

[@throttlebottle5906]

pay very close attention to the oil cooler and pedestal gaskets, wrong ones will choke the flow and could even nearly close off the flow. have the machine work done to full flow the case and run external filter, it's well worth the money spent, although in a car it's likely very cramped up. I highly doubt the bread and butter of tall track manifolds, dual weber/delorto carbs and 042 heads would fit too good either :))

[@mrentremattor5772]

Nice.

[@paulorchard7960]

Sound please, any sound, if no dialogue put on anything, even the chipmunk song!

[@jeanlawson9133]

There would be a air problem or leak between the oil pump and oil filter housing because of gasket.... look at it closer...

[@redshirt-scotty]

claude's buggies! that's an old filter/pump

[@Mikefngarage]

good catch I gotta like that one. Real CB performance.

[@Mikefngarage]

that was probably new in 1982 that is when I got that motor. gotta be one of the earliest pieces CB made.

[@redshirt-scotty]

@@Mikefngarage i've got a claud's buggies oil pump blank cover from the same time period. they were in business when i got started and i always thought they had been around since the early 70's

[@Mikefngarage]

@@redshirt-scotty I guess he started when he was pretty young. must have has some serious financial backing.

[@OMCPoker]

Repeat yourself some more, Repeat your self some more.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea and some more and more and more. Hey make some videos and you will see how hard it is.

[@Smarty1171]

Dude. You repeat your self way too much. I couldn't watch the video any longer.

[@VWLifeVW]

not stoopid, just young and inexperienced.

[@Mikefngarage]

the worse part is I knew better I do remember my old boss telling me to just get a new case off the shelf and machine it an I didnt care. I just wanted to drive the car. Somehow I forgot about that conversation. The guy who traded that car for that crap built motor with a single relief case. Now he was stupid ha ha.

[@TR5T]

PS.ALWAYS ALWAYS support your exhaust when undoing the bolts and ALWAYS lube those studs with some type of good rust busting lube.

[@kainariylius392]

We do what we can when we're young and dumb, had lots of them like that. If you need a case let me know, I've got like ten or fifteen dual relief I've been sitting on. 70ish era.

[@chrisnorris2573]

Claude’s Buggies oil filter pump cover cool (CB performance) Definitely vintage. Old cool stuff you do not see anymore

[@vwmountainman9701]

I have several cases - be happy to ship you one. You pay for freight. Give a shout !!!

[@Mikefngarage]

second case was perfect got it video coming

[@1chish]

Anyone else shouting: "Take those silencers off!" at the start?

[@hopsgarage5513]

Your not the only one who has had to take apart there engine multiple time .. Haha

[@Mikefngarage]

not relaiable but fast. that is all I wanted back then give me the ponies but I hated dealing with dual carbs. had enough problems. That 2 barrel fired right up every day

[@CTmoog]

Awesome video Mike! Are there no machine shops in Florida? I thought there might be one somewhere around here.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea for sure tampa area I know there is for sure. about an hour or so drive from you. Fisher buggies is one tampa. but I dont know there should be a few more probably ones in daytona area which is a bit closer to you. Probably something in tampa too. check the samba. and also google.

[@Mikefngarage]

also Look at the oil pump cover gasket. WRONG. I should have isolated that hole for the return. Probably had a pretty good sized oil pressure loss from that.

[@throttlebottle5906]

looked like someone forgot "torque day" or had the center studs or nuts back off. only seen one case dead like that out of around 100, it was a no oil change special which also spun the end around and seized. didn't play with them until the late 90's though and first thing we did was machine shop the case and everything else and assemble with nylock and copper nut sets. all off-road mountain climbing in WV of course (flat-lander's from Ohio they called us) lol

[@cr-us9ch]

Sorry for my ignorance, but how is the single relief case different?

[@edwardseaton4492]

a dual relief case has 2 oil pressure relief valves. they control oil pressure more effectively and consistently.

[@kavenmendes]

Is that a shot at a clickbait title? Next one’s gotta be “You’ll Never Believe What We Found INSIDE this VW ENGINE - REAL - OMG - DISGUSTING”. Awesome video, hope the case is savable.

[@Mikefngarage]

well I am limited to how long the title is plus I needed key words in it for it to hit. not trying to be click bate but just trying to make it titled to be found.

[@kavenmendes]

Mike Fn Garage I understand completely! I just love the terms chosen. Gave me a little laugh at the end of a long day

[@deadhorsegarage928]

Seems like getting a good case on one of these old VW engines is a shot in the dark hopefully you can get something going keep it up

[@thephotographicauditor6715]

Try ScumBugs in Columbus, GA...they might have a case.

[@alexjinks6172]

Wow ! dressed to go to church ...Nice white T shirt and expecting his missus to wash it later ?

[@joemiller6278]

I like how you're open to positive and negative comments. You reply to them better than I would. Thanks for the vids. Your spray-it paint gun review is what got me hooked on your vids. Plus, we have a beetle too. Thanks again, keep it up!

[@throttlebottle5906]

I auto assume plastic chunks or shop rag was found inside :))

[@bigospig]

Back in the 80's and 90's every VW engine being sold was supposedly an 1835. Funny how many of them were single port intakes with a single Solex carb.

[@chrisnorris2573]

Case was $75 what year was that’s?

[@ocavant]

80s. Even into the 90's you could still find NOS DR cases. I've got one still in cosmoline waiting for a special build.

[@CharlieTalmadge]

The good ol' days.. would not change them for anything....late 70s-80s.. Fuck yeah.

[@jerrygomezjr601]

You kept it because your a hoarder that's why 😂🤣😂 👍

[@andyroo3022]

I like how your making the best engine you can with those old components. Good video to learn engine building as well. My new 1916cc was not cheap, I did a deal with a mate and used my automotive painting trade skills on respraying his notchback and a type 3 wagon converted to a ute. The body work was pretty good, just tired paint and some dents. They used a Suzuki Sierra rear window panel. There is a gas lift top on the ute body. A very cool looking VW.

[@Tom-kw6km]

What I like about the VW engine it's designed like an aircraft engine. Thus some homebuilt aircraft used the whole engine or cut them down to two cylinders.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

I’m thinking of doing the same. I have a weak engine that I bought off Craigslist about 15 years ago. Never put a lot of miles on it but it has very little power now. I’m curious what the inside looks like. So are you single relief cases are not worth rebuilding? If mine is single relief should I just spend a grand on a new case?

[@morgansword]

I worked on the subaru engines for ten + years back before the big SUV blow up and everyone built one. People used to say the volks engine was a subaru without the radiator... wrong short of boxer engines that is about as close as you get. Both are good engines back then... the new stuff is junk

[@gustavopadilla9176]

My favorite combination from back went was a young

[@Mikefngarage]

that motor really was pretty fast for a 2 barrel. perfect cam combo.

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

Fair enough, I have a "brand new" Scat 2110 sitting in my garage for near as long. I'm sure I assembled it so poorly, just after high school, that I'm afraid to run it and too lazy to take it back apart. (-_-)

[@lionbear7706]

ohhhh done right that will be a wild af engine right there.

[@rickstine7107]

Don't underestimate the use of a solid single relief case, I've built a few rippers on SR cases. BUT no stroker.

[@agrameroldoctane_66]

You are lucky you do not have to deal with aircooled engines that were "repaired" in eastern Europe. 😱

[@fredleonard1547]

Like the video, but reall who cares why you kept it. I love the VWs tho.

[@danvillareal8304]

Very informative video Mike thanks!

[@brianhanel7493]

When you put 92 mm barrels in a stock case that crack behind cyl#3

[@Mikefngarage]

i think your referring to 94 92 have same case opening as 90.5 then go to thicker wall at heads.

[@gazzafloss]

I've certainly built lots worse Bug engines than that when I was a young guy. I had a '63 40 HP that had the insulation off the firewall come off and block the cooling fan intake while I was flat out on the highway, no fan gave a great boost in power for about 2minutes, then two exhaust valves burned. Fixed that engine by just removing that head and fitting two second hand exhaust valves. Bug was back in service for work transport after the weekend, it kept running for some time, until I sold it.

[@ocavant]

lol. My first bug resto(a '69) I neglected to straighten the spikes for the tarboard on the firewall when I installed it. Finished the car and gave it the my wife. It was beautiful. One hot day she called in a panic and said the engine stopped. Told her to wait till I could get there. The board had gotten so hot and flexible, the engine fan sucked off the wall and blocked all air to the motor. Thankfully she apparently did not over heat it too badly as I was able to pull the board and get it running. I've not made that mistake again. lol

How can i contact you?

[@gilbertnowak5770]

That single port 1600 you just took apart what serial number was stamped on the case? Did it have an X stamped infront of the serial number?

[@Mikefngarage]

yea german rebuild. as41 german case. I didnt get the serial number. it is at the machine shop.

[@gilbertnowak5770]

@@Mikefngarage The reason I was curious is I have a 1967 single port dual relief 1600 X case motor i am rebuilding to put in my 68 Baja. I found out the X means it was dealer replaced case after May 5,1973, all were dual relief 1600 cases. But the dealer stamped the origanal case numbers on the replacment case. That is why i wondered what year was stamped on the case.

[@Mikefngarage]

@@gilbertnowak5770 interesting I know the x was dealer but I am not sure that date It did have a tag on it.
