Hey everyone thanks for stopping by and showing your support 😊!! I appreciate it, don't forget to check out the website: jwclassicvw.com for your channel sticker.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

You put the tins on cylinders backwards. Thats why you had to modify them. Look in the service manual.

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol... yup I already caught and fixed it. Wasn't fitting well either direction but I got it sorted in the end. Appreciate the support brother.

[@Mikefngarage]

Hmmm I dont think I have ever had a pushrod tube seal leak with no sealant. at least with the latest version of the seals. But using a little sealant never hurts anything.

[@JWClassicVW]

Lots of ways to build these engines for sure. We all definitely have are own way of doing things. Thanks for the visit Mike!

[@Skaadi89]

i think you may have put the air deflectors may be installed upside down i think the short tabbed side was supposed to go by the block

[@1longhairhippy]

Was having a thought what runs cooler a rail bug,,,baja bug,,,sand buggy or a full bodied car with all cooling tins

[@JWClassicVW]

Have no idea man

[@briansmythe3000]

your vids are really good bro Your a Natural and you share your mistakes really cool

[@JWClassicVW]

Glad you like them!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Always nice to see it in long block form. 👍

[@JWClassicVW]

It sure is, feels good to be moving on this build. Thanks brother!

[@Paulman50]

Yep , bent one of my pushrod tubes, how did you know 😳

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol... I put my deflector tin in backwards... 😆, it's allllll good brother. Live and learn.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

nice work Jason, and yeah after market stuff can make it or brake it. great to see how that long block is coming together.

[@JWClassicVW]

Thanks 👍

[@juharuotsalainen6938]

but don't the pistons come in such a way that the arrow points towards the distributor head? at least usually in other cars, i.e. forward towards the pulley

[@JWClassicVW]

Pistons do normally have a directional arrow that with Air-Cooled VWs points toward the flywheel.

[@juharuotsalainen6938]

ok @@JWClassicVW

[@valdiviajr1]

Thanks for the video. Chingon 👍

[@JWClassicVW]

Appreciate the support

[@davidwegner6790]

Were did you get your parts from

[@JWClassicVW]

I get most of my parts from CIP1 and or CB Performance.

[@davidwillis5016]

Thanks for the video bro

[@JWClassicVW]

You bet

[@mikehammer4546]

Jason, what do you think about using “Super Cooling Tins” on this 40hp motor ?

[@JWClassicVW]

I don't have experience with that set up but I wouldn't recommend it. With a standard fan shroud setup I believe the deflector tins work best.

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

Miks F'n Garage swears by cool tins.

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

Thank You! Any comment on buttons? VW Daren doesn't like them. I put them in my last resuscitation.

[@JWClassicVW]

Don't have any real experience with them.. but if Darrin says no then I'd go with that.

[@JMC8415]

What's it going in?

[@JWClassicVW]

Some future project... unknown to me at this time.

[@slawoszpomykala3547]

Marvelous. I improve my level of knowledge in English and VW air cooled engine the same time. Gretings from Poland, Europe.

[@JWClassicVW]

Lol... glad you enjoyed the video! 😀
