One pro for the air-cooled engines is that you preserve technology from back in the day and show how far things have come. And also how simple the essence of a internal combustion engine really is. Yes, newer engines have more power and torque and such, but these old engines show a step on the journey to the awesome engines we have today in my opinion.

As a guy that has a 74 bug its nice to see the excitement the whole crew had building the motor. You might not be the fastest car on the road but you are able to operate a piece of engineering history. That oil comment is very true you pretty much have to have a quart or 2 of oil in the "frunk" if you plan to daily the car. One of the easiest motors to tweak and mess with! I am curious what oil weight you are using for it though.

My last few days off have been dedicated to rebuilding the top end on my 1600. Heads, pistons and cylinders. Replacing the clutch, too. I'm feeling your pain right now.

When my grandpa still had his VW shop back in the 70’s, he has a video of him pulling his bus motor out, full rebuild, reinstalling, and on the road in 3hrs! Bahahahahaha!!!

[@agenericaccount3935]

Did he do it in three hours the first time he laid eyes on one?

I think the 16hr benchmark for their first engine couldve been achieved if they had done some good research ahead of time. They lost a lot of time with making little (but MAJOR) mistakes!

[@loganthesaint]

briguy91931 those little mistakes always get me.

They also have to film and talk it's not as easy.

I remember when I rebuilt the topend on my ‘80 Toyota...I didnt retorque the headbolts after running it...no bueno! Lol. Little mistakes can lead to big issues! Bahahahaha

[@Thatoneguyfromtheinternet]

It doesn't make sense when they use mask all the time when they touch each other and whatever the others touched, so they would get the Coronavirus if they have worn a mask or not🤔🤨

8:03 I feel you bro, I don't work on cars, but I was dissembling and reassemble a laptop to change motherboard and thermal compound. But after reassembling it fully, I realized that I didn't plug in the CPU cooler fan cable. It was a nightmare to open it again and reassemble it again. By the way Idle CPU temps were about 63°C if you are interested.

[@summerlysauce5557]

I like how the people on the video have mask yet everyone else in the background dosent

[@crowvelle]

If masks were as important as they wanted you to believe, we'd all be dead. Just watch how everyone takes them off to talk; how often they readjust them and contaminate them; how they wear them under their nose. The usefulness has been debunked by multiple professionals, but the stupid media just keeps up their fear mongering.
