[@culturedredneckgarage3784]

Mmmmm Thick wall 92s, aftermarket rods, and Panchitos....a recipe for loveliness! I can totally identify with the stuck oil plunger frustration - I basically went through the identical process and solution that you did! Looks great, should be another sweet build!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Man, I can’t wait for him to put this in something and go for a drive. It’ll be a great runner when it’s done! Those stuck plungers suck but I don’t let it beat me 😎

[@christianmccollum1028]

Finally, a 1968cc build. Gathering parts for one myself. I'm going to have the meanest 67 kombi in town soon!!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m telling you, this combo is great. I can’t wait for him to put it in his panel bus.

[@WestGeorgiaAirCooled]

Garry I INSTALLED my gears in the house yesterday. Burned up the oil I put on the crank and made the house reek. My wife was very much not pleased lol. Soooooo use my story next time.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Yeah they don’t seem to appreciate the finer things like we do 😂😂

[@martinharris5017]

Ouch! Did mine in the garage like a good boy. Put a little oil on it then warmed it up with a heat gun and it dropped right on!

[@Daledoesit101]

Love the “rubber band trick” in the mockup stage 👌

[@VWJawbreaker]

Makes life easier! I can’t take credit for it though, although I don’t remember where I saw it years ago.

[@eduardorodriguez3262]

Put it in the splitty🎉 Great job on the engine building you make it easy to understand 👍🇩🇪

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate ya sir!!

[@prkid424]

Amazing and informative as always. As an idea- I don’t see many videos on engine building that go from long block to start up/cam break in. Would love to see your take on that very last step.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you! Actually this build series is only 3 videos including the cam break in. The other engine that I paused on will have a cam break in video after this series.

[@prkid424]

This engine is eerily similar to the 1835 I’m building now except for the strocked crank.

[@Shake-zo3jk]

I just started a Type 3 engine build and this is exactly the build I was hoping to follow. I was going to do an 1800, but this has me reconsidering.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Awesome, good luck on your build!! Honestly, there’s no replacement for displacement. Go with the larger pistons and larger crank. You can build a larger engine that’ll still be reliable and fuel efficient if that’s what you want. Mild cam, mild compression, good heads and you’ll be in good shape.

[@VWRICH23]

Put it in the Splitty lol - great job Gary

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank ya sir!

[@hussianmohmmad4613]

Hey Gary. Thx for the great video. I'd like to see a very brief/ short of your crank mount bar that you have in the vice there. Just curious. 🤔 🤙

[@VWJawbreaker]

Appreciate ya being here as always! It would be easier to explain it vs showing it on a short. It’s just an old gland nut welded to an old scrap piece of square tube. I’ll try to incorporate it into a video in a few weeks 🤙

[@cjjones1556]

​@VWJawbreaker I figured as much. Just give a quick pan. Thanks buddy. I/we always appreciate you being here as well. ✌️

[@vayabroder729]

Great job! Put it in the Splitty! 😉

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank ya sir! Appreciate you as always!

[@Mikefngarage]

I would do one of these but I wont with stock heads. That is why I havnt done one yet. with aa 60cc heads this is a great combo. Even the 57cc would work from Kultec heads But stock 48 to 53cc just is not enough combustion chamber for this combo to work well. lots of deck height required

[@Mikefngarage]

1904 is about the limit for stock heads.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I completely agree, this would be a waste with stock heads. That’s why I’m glad we have the CB Panchito heads for this build. These have even had the ports cleaned up, should be a great runner.

[@cjjones1556]

I love the Panchitos on my 1800.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Dude, those heads are the best bang for the buck bar none, especially over a set of Empi heads. These things flow and are great right out of the box.

[@cjjones1556]

​@@VWJawbreakerYeah. It really wasn't much of a choice with the quality over the AA heads.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@cjjones1556 Ava’s are decent but I’d rather have the Panchito’s!

[@felixlafuente9714]

Im happier with stock cam and 1.4 rockers, than with the w110. I dont usually rev past 5500, and with almost same lift at the Valve, the 1.4 produces torque really good at regimes wich an aire cooled VW was intended to be used. And a TON of Fuel economy! Maybe overlap could affect more than what I used to believe...

[@VWJawbreaker]

With the w110 cam having more duration, keeping the valves open longer, will produce more power vs just lift alone. However…. Stock cam with stock rockers vs stock cam and 1.4 rockers, that’s a no brainer. That being said, everyone has a preference and there’s really no wrong answer. Maybe some not so great combos but that’s a different thing.

[@bigboardfun]

Sounds like what I would like have.

[@VWJawbreaker]

It’s definitely a fantastic combo!

[@hardware5777]

Dude I wish I knew the rubber band trick on my 1897cc (1900). 78mm crank Engle 110 88mm thick walls machined down 40mm intake heads. The rubber band would had made clearancing easier

[@VWJawbreaker]

I honestly don’t remember where I saw or heard about the rubber band trick, it was a long time ago. Wish it was my idea but it isn’t lol

[@allenbrian72]

Well dude I like it. I’m going to build a spare engine for my beast of the southeast love to show you my car I’ve worked on for yrs now. Can’t wait to get it broke in n trying it out. A lot of people told me my set up won’t work but I hope I prove them wrong. Thanks for the great videos. Very informative n not a lot of excessive talking like ezygezy ( not sure about his spelling) he goes on n gets off subject.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@allenbrian72 don’t worry about what people say, do what you want and how you want to do it. That’s how we learn and grow as a person and as a hobbiest. Not a single person knows everything, worse case you tried and learned something. I try not to chat too much but it’s difficult since there’s so much to explain… I try to balance things the best I can.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to have both cases side by side for my personal comparison. I’ve heard the Mexican cases were a little better and had better qc.

Thank you sir! Stock is 5.4, these are 5.394” if you want to get technical. That’s only a .006” difference.

Great video, what size oil pump are you using?

Thanks! That’s a 30mm pump as that’s what he had. I’ll be changing it out for a 26mm in the near future since they weren’t available locally at the time.

I always love your videos brother, they're so informative !! Just curious, how many hours does it really take to build an engine ?

[@VWJawbreaker]

I appreciate it greatly! I honestly don’t keep track of hours because there’s so many variables like parts fitting correctly, any mods that need to be done, how well normal processes go vs are more time consuming for whatever reason. Something usually always fights you lol

[@allisonroe-dp6bs]

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Can you make a video on how to degree camshaft? Sorry, If I already asked before. Or you don't want to do it. Put it in the splitty

[@VWJawbreaker]

You know, that’s a great idea. I’ll have to think on that and see how I can deliver it on video. Not to sound rude but I don’t want to confuse most people or myself for that matter 😂 Plus to change the degree you’ll need a different cam gear to make changes and not the regular aftermarket cam gear most of us use.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@VWJawbreaker Do the first video with the standard gear. There is only one video available on youtube of someone degree a vw type 1 cam, and its blurry. I have asked other channels. But no one, wants to do it.

[@nastygamenation5696]

Just got my 2332cc engine built from a builder but he wasn’t able to start and do initial break in due to surgery and will be down for a while. But I got the motor and have no ideal what I need to do to break in. Any advice?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Man that stinks, hope the guy is ok. Yes, you’ll need to do a cam break in. Either in or out of the VW depending on your setup or local guys that could help. Basically start it up and let it run for 20 minutes at 2500rpms. Don’t worry about the timing or carbs being perfect. Personally, I think the builder should do the break in Incase there’s any issues he can be the one to resolve them and if any future issues arise he knows the break in was done properly. Just my opinion.

[@cjjones1556]

Been watching some VWDarren lately? Mmh Hmmph! 😅

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’ve found myself doing that here and there. Didn’t help we hung out a few weeks back all day long lol

[@harryloibl5183]

Hay buddy I meant to ask you what horsepower do you expect on this engine thanks

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@harryloibl5183 it's a total combo that makes the engine efficient. Exhaust, carbs, ignition, not just the long block. This combo will be good for 90-110hp roughly.
