I love that instead of just doing it yourself you had Brian do it. It's nice to be able to teach what you know, not so you don't have to but so that others can learn and do it for themselves. Promotes growth for both parties

I like the fact the thermostat and flaps were left on, so many people throw that stuff out! The vacuum advance was a nice sight as most want to drop in a 009. I've had good luck with T-3 lower cooling tin when a J-tin with good holes wasn't available. The extra big catch-all on the floor is a nice feature. Not everyone does, but when re-using pistons and cylinders I like to hand lap the cylinders into the heads.On the thick wall cylinders I like to use the ball hone to give the rings another set and I permatex the cylinder bases onto a cleaned block surface

I have watched many of your videos,from your snowblower repair,gen repair, ohh hell I have watched a ton of them and they are super great, your trouble shooting techniques are damn close to what I would do. I picked up a tip in one of your other videos and again I watched it being used here and that is using the rag around the bail and pulling downward, I have scratched up many a nicely painted valve cover using a screwdriver . I like your can do attitude and especially your willingness to show others how it's done. Tell Brian that a few years ago I tried to drive my 68 VW year round but one month into a Montana winter, I felt like I was driving inside a snow globe. and me being 62 and haveing crap joints I headed south Best of luck to you, from New Mexico

The cylinder heads shown in the beginning of the video are 40 HP. 1200 CC heads and you probably noticed that later. I was surprised to see that the cylinder/head joint had broken seal, that wasn't that common on the single port motors, but fairly common on the dual ports. It's nice to see you're using the air doors and thermostat, the engines wear out much quicker when they're left out. You also lose 6-8 Hp. when they're not there.

Just for interest's sake, you commented on how hard it is to find replacement OEM style thermostats and, upon hearing that, it reminded me of a video I saw. Wheeler Dealers mechanic Edd China made the same remark and then used a later design part that had a coil spring mechanism that did the same job and fit with little or no modification. The only problem is, I can't recall which of their videos had that clip, only that it was either a VW or a 4 cylinder Porsche like a 914. I seem to recall, though, that it was a VW part he used.
@amishguy546 жыл бұрын
hey Mustie do you ever check the top surface of the jugs on a flat plate that area that had the blow by can be cleared up with a sheet of emmery on a sheet of tempered glass , all so keep a spare jug to lap the head mating surface too with a little blueing and valve grinding compound, always good for a few more lp's of compression

Nice tools snap on is the best I had alot and my dad just gave most of all his and now I have alot more some older and as old I am. There's just something about using the old tools that has a certain nostalgic feel to it also mine are family heritage I guess I just love them. I do wish I had some of the orange hard handled tools but I guess my dad cheaped out on the extra few bucks all mines standard. Also my brother(s) got to them first and I'm sure took and sold some but I got all the rest which was alot so I'm just happy I got what I got my dad is getting old so I'm so glad I have something to remember him by as well as getting them before my brothers got the rest they can have all the Craftsman lol. I'm sure there's some more here and there but his garage was cluttered so next time I'll hunt the rest he lives an hour and a half away I know he still haves air tools but they are obsolete and space is a premium in my box but he also has another box full still and he said I can half it so can't wait to see what's in it as it was my grandpas.

Mustice I am sure you know this so don't take offense. Volkswagen recommends putting in new exhaust valves do to cyrsitalizaisn from heat over years of use and 100 of 10000 of Rpm's. Also if you do your own heads and ever have an issue with valve guides they can be almost impossible to remove with a shouldered punch but you can tap them with a fine thread 3/8 TAP AND INSTALL A BOLT. AT THIS POINT SET ON A 4X4 BOARD HEAT THE HEAD AND PUT A PUNCH INSIDE THE GUIDE AND DRIVE AGAINST THE BOLT. WORKS FANTASTIC TO REMOVE GUIDE. I WORKER FOR YEARS IN A AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE SHOP AND USED THIS WITH A GREAT DEAL OF SUCESS. REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!

I used to run a rebuild shop for VWs back in the mid 70s and on a tear down, the first thing to do is crack the head bolts then retorque them to 30 ft lbs (several more than spec, to make sure none of the studs pull out of the case on reassembly. I'd rather have a weak one break BEFORE it's going back together. Same with the bearing bolts on the case. I'd rather add new ones as necessary during the early stages of a repair when it's easier to clean out any metal clips.
