Dude, Slow down. Buy yourself some proper sockets and extensions. Double check your actions and check again. If you don’t tighten bolts correctly you will be in a big world of hurt broken down on the road somewhere.

[@thomasweatherford5125]

An engine in your bedroom? Mrs. CT must’ve loved that lol. Not a chance I can store anything like that in my bedroom lol

[@suburban91]

No washers ??

[@hondahut]

You need to have hardened bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel. Standard bolts will shear off from the clutch pressure

[@gustavoluna8782]

How much did you pay for the engine friend?

[@pauljanssen7594]

PS it would take us more time to jack the car and put it on jack stands then to take the engine out.

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

No washers?

[@BryanO92]

[@russelblackwell6041]

💯🔥! That 65 is going be such a blast to drive !

This is an awesome rebuild. I have had five Beetles in the last 40 years, ranging from a 1968 through to a 1972 and I wish I had an engine like this in just one of them. I rebuilt the ‘68, but back in the late 80’s these bolt on parts weren’t available. Sounds so good too! Well done…I miss my Beetles really badly now 😥

[@Imisgarage]

Ohhh boy!!! it's coming together!!! Can't wait to see you drive it!

[@MichaelMcFearin]

Wow that engine looks great but the exhaust is next level. Man I learned to drive on an early 70’s super beetle. If it had looked like this one I would have more kids.

[@SnoDraken]

I know that was a great feeling to make it GO!! I could hear it in your voice. Nice job!

[@RC-ob6in]
