HOW TO BUILD A VW 1600....STEP 1.....DISASSEMBLY

[@robbiegwinn]

wished i could have watched ur vw vids back in the 70's....no one around here would work on them. i loved driving mine in the winter....never once did i ever get stuck.

[@ncautoman57]

Thanks for taking the time to teach anyone who needs to learn VW stuff. Take care.

[@bmurphy616]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate you making these videos and sharing your knowledge with everyone. They have gotten me through a lot of head scratching moments with my beetle. Thanks Darrin!

[@clements9812]

I usally don't like long videos, but I got to rip into one of these this winter, so you just hit my favorite list. Thanks. Jeff

[@GregsGarage]

Awesome. I can't get enough of this. Learn something everytime I watch. I like the cam trick.

[@mikeward2980]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm working on a Mexican case right now I got blessed and found a new engine. Blessings

[@vw64manyrd]

your videos always get me motovated! thanks!

[@cecil6711]

You make taking it apart look so easy but I know it is much harder than that .;-) Thanks for the cool video.

[@robbiegwinn]

cool stuff buddy....love those matix hats ;-)

[@andrewhill42]

I'm sure his motors run great but I can't get over some of his heavy handed tactics. Prying, banging, beating into submission and the like.

[@finpainter1]

I love work i can sit and watch it for hours

[@tomswonderfulworld]

Good stuff Darrin.

[@Velvethamma]

Good stuff as always

[@timsbeetle]

ohh another engine build ,love it

[@srissy007]

Cool video. Thanks, buddy.

[@SILVERHORSE347]

Thanks D, I like that kind.

[@VWBusache]

Thank you, I will be saving the series to view later, I going to get a second hand engine to rebuild so these videos will be infallible, thank you again.

[@harwood3838]

I know you'll bring it back to life

[@jevchance]

Good stuff D

[@Timetotinker]

watching the master.....tony

[@southwestcustom]

Missed watching this stuff...

[@wildh0rse1]

I love your videos. It really makes me want to try a rebuild like that, I love torque wrenches and tolerances :) Some Questions: 1) Do you sell motors, and are they guaranteed mosquito free? 2) What combination of awl, oil and erl works best? 3) Is it true that old volks cases are not supposed to be remachined, ie align-bored and thrust cut? Something about magnesium and Aluminum. 4) Wouldn't it be nice if others besides you and Chris Vallone asked us how we were doing today? ;)

[@SYFGARAGE]

cool stuff!

[@vwdarrin]

thanks for looking at the video

[@TheWreckingYard]

Cool

[@TTOCS11]

like it

[@gbowne1]

AK is a 1973 1600cc 48bhp DIN, 46HP SAE-net. USA-only according to what I found. Not bad at all Darrin

[@vw64manyrd]

thanks for the video!

[@ak47popoff]

nice!

[@koen577]

Do you have a video on the external accessories? Fan housing, intake pipes, carburetor ect/

[@chizkiyahu2010]

HEY DARRIN Great Videos, and information, thanks. I need help identifying my disc brake set up on my rail buggy. and maybe installing brakes on the front for making it street legal. I heard you also rebuild and sell parts where might I find that page/store.

[@wtbm123]

cool

[@vwdarrin]

thank you sir guys like you is y i do it

[@Starfieldman]

You gotta love the VW engine, but I have wondered why you are hooked on them, vs the big muscle American ones?

[@crnjo9575]

I was wondering the same thing, wish he would answer would bring him some work then.

[@vwdarrin]

do know yet ,will see what the parts come to

[@vwdarrin]

thanks buddy

[@finpainter1]

thumbs up

[@vwdarrin]

yes sir we will do it together, on the you tube, and thanks for the core

[@jbmbanter897]

Does banging hard on the piston pins cause damage to the crank since it is hooked to it? Wouldn't matter if you had the crank ground I suppose.

[@joelcoleman5903]

thanks for teaching everyone what they need to learn on there own... don't you know what job security means? peace from ScootersVw

[@ding0925]

How much will ask for this one when it's done?

[@Dariutus1]

what about a 1641cc build ?

[@DanTheManIOM]

Would you just rebuild this to be 1600 cc or would you go bigger to 1776 or 1800 ?? My connecting rod went through the case, so I will doing this tear down on a stuck motor I have in my driveway (not the blown up one, of course)...

[@vwdarrin]

it depends on your budget if you go bigger you will need more carburetion & exhaust to take advantage of the larger motor , a 1600 with a nice set of carburetors and a cam runs really sweet , what you spend on the machine work to go to a 1776 , you could probably end up buying a exhaust or carbs for a 1600 build

[@jaredmcgrath6311]

at 2:20. did you say lakeland? as in lakeland fl?

[@trevcessna1723]

Hey Darin, really surprised that someone like yourself who rebuilds engines all the time you wouldn't have a pulley puller? I don't think I would want an engine that you hammered on, try a little more finesse. You could probably save some money on unnecessary part changes as well. Thanks.

[@vwdarrin]

thanks for stopping buy

[@xoxoXoieoxox]

i think u going to bend a con. rod with that hammer O.o

[@creativespark1539]

Hi why 2 pullies?

[@vwlover2]

Creative spark One is an AC pulley I believe

[@ubamothereffer1]

as 41 case,you said it was an AK case in the beginning...oy vey...
