Very informative, thanks for giving us a 'step by step' on the process... all your markings are a great help for us to understand it.

Thank you, not to many type 4 disassembly videos online so I wanted to try and explain as much as I could.

This was a lot of fun to watch.

The shims at 30:30 hold the movement of the crankshaft. Limits it in place. You have to match various sizes (but 3 shims total) so that you have the right clearance of the flywheel or torque converter (when it is on) I believe it was supposed to be like .030 thou or something. The bentley has the right numbers. And the pushrod tubes can be removed before the head comes off. Fyi. Nice work, that one cylinder looks like it took something in and ate it up.

[@hifivegarage6977]

Gotcha thats what I figured with the shims, they definitely were the same thickness which was good either way. And when I built the motor I noticed that, im so use to bug motors haha. And thank you, any chance you know more about automatic transmission?

[@eddowney2714]

The wires hold in the push rod tubes which you can remove without pulling the heads

[@hifivegarage6977]

Yes, I figured that out later. Im use to upright motors definitely a cool feature!!

Any info on the A/C compressor

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Looks like a 1800,with dished pistons.

[@hifivegarage6977]

Yes agreed!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@hifivegarage6977 Sorry, I was wrong. Its a 1800 with dished pistons. You can upgrade engine to 1911 with 96mm AA pistons kit.

[@hifivegarage6977]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle the block is definitely a 1700 block with 90 mm jugs though...

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@hifivegarage6977 1700,1800,2000 blocks look, the same. The bore & stroke are different. You can use 90mm jugs on 1800 or 2000 blocks. The 90mm pistons were only available flat top or dome pistons. 93mm pistons were available as dished pistons in USA. Look it up.
