Volkswagen Beetle Air-cooled Flat-four Engine Rebuild Time-Lapse | Redline Rebuild - S1E7

Don’t let anyone tell you that rebuilding an old Volkswagen Beetle engine is easy. After countless hours of work, some busted knuckles, more than a few trips to the parts store, some heavy-duty Googling, and another 30,000 photos, we present our seventh Redline Rebuild time-lapse video.
Our 1973 Beetle trudged 2,500 miles from Portland, Oregon, to Traverse City, Michigan, in the middle of a frigid January. It has led a hard life, with a hodge-podge of parts from various years and some obvious mechanical and cosmetic shortcuts taken over the last five decades.
While the beauty of the Beetle is that almost any part from any year will fit in some fashion, we didn’t take any shortcuts when it came to the engine. Many of the original parts were too far gone to reuse, biggest of which was the original VW magnesium case. The Beetle now has a brand-new aluminum case, along with a plethora of other new parts, and she is running better than ever!

Takes me back. My first car was a 59 Beetle for $250. It was running but tired in 1971. Me and dad dismantled it, got all the rust out, zinc treated it, repainted.Then we fixed up the suspension and braking. The engine rebuild was done by experts, not us. We fixed up all the peripherals. It was only a 1200 but it ran so sweet. Nice memories with dad too. The beetle driving off at the end was a nice touch.

The girlfriend, the car a just mories. The book was returned to the owner. I saw a copy on ebay & bought it for the read. Entertaining book.

[@Renville80]

I had a teacher in grade school who had an older green bug that had a few dents in it. What she ended up doing to hide them was to paint a bunch of daisies on it, making for a very distinctive car. I visited her a few years ago, and asked about it. She was amused that I still remembered the car after all these years (40 years ago now), and said she’d driven it until it was too clapped out to fix, and she had it hauled away.

@Juden Arier … It used way less fuel than most cars of it's time but 25 mpg is not great when you consider Toyota and Datsun were reaching well into the 35 mpg range by the mid 70s. By 1978 you could buy a Japanese car that was getting almost 50 mpg and accelerating to highway speed in half the time. Still in all it was a remarkable car with a design rooted in the late 1930s.

[@roadwarrior3203]

And also durability and ruggedness! 👍👍👍

@@rupe53 you're right on those japanese cars getting amazing mileage for the time but the beetle had literally no competition in durability and mileage in the US during the 60's

[@rupe53]

@@hagglundguy … personally I don't feel most people were looking for mileage in the 60s when gas was around 23 cents per gallon. It was cute, quirky, nimble, and took up no space in the garage or parking lot. Also consider that by the mid 60s you could buy a mid sized Mustang, Falcon, or even a Plymouth for only about $500 more.... then there was the Corvair. OTOH, by the time those were popular the bug was entrenched in society by a good 15 years, outselling all the other imports combined. It took another 10 years (mid 70s) for the Japanese imports to catch up. By then the old bug was doomed in this country due to emissions and crash regulations.

Off topic but desiel engines dont require a carburator or spark plugs do they? But they have glow plugs to preheat the fuel? Would that also mean they do not require a distributor too? And are all diesel engines fuel injected? I'm still learning.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

@@ripp3rjak934 You are correct on all points. They fire based off of injection timing and just the shear compression ignites the diesel. Most diesels are direct injected, however, a few use indirect injection but all are injected.

Around 2000, he should have been able to buy at least 3 volkswagens and been able to build 1800+cc engines for them with electronic ignition distributors, twin 40mm progressive vertical draft webbers with aircraft grade heim joint linkage, spring loaded pushrod tubes, external oil cooler, biggest valves you can stuff in the heads, and nice peppy cams. I've built an 1835cc dual port motor a time err two for a trike i put many hours into. Also made a 1600cc single port out of the good parts from two bad motors. One split a valve and locked down two cylinders, the other had an issue with the crank eating up oil seals. So i put the good top end and bottom end together in one night and carried it 150 yards from my shop door, mounted it up on the old sand rail, adjusted the valve lash and ignition timing, and fired it up at 6AM. im only 27 currently. I was oh 17 turning 18 when i did all that. Seems to me one thing that can fail on these engines is the valves. For some reason they like to split.

The only car I ever loved was a 1964 VW Beetle that I bought for $800.00 in 1969.

[@williamd4707]

Bought a '64 new in '64 for 1500 bucks. First car is always the best car especially a Volks.

[@AJRestoration]

This is probably the 5th time I have seen this and every time I think wow this is probably one of the prettiest engines made by man.

[@toddvanwinkle7777]

Hope he put the little deflector plates on under the cylinders...engine won't run long without them!

[@suzintru1]

I was thinking that exact same thing!! Without those deflector plates that engine will FRY!! Correction, I think I see them.Good job!

[@toddvanwinkle7777]

Ha! Remember John Muir telling us that in the Idiot book!?? I've never ever forgot them when building engines!!

Hey Rick. Thanks for everything you have done for VW enthusiasts worldwide. We appreciate it.👍

Can you please come to communist California and rebuild my 74 Karmann Ghia motor? Thanks.

[@LuizLandi]

Muito bem simplificado o vídeo, más se pode ver que tudo foi feito com muita qualidade, gostei deste carburador 2 estágios ,melhor do que os individuais com varetas que volta e meia precisa estar regulando, parabéns ao dono do canal, gostei 👏👏👏

[@ManoelMarianomoraes]

Você sabe qual modelo é esse? Achei interessante. Parece ser um modelo da Weber..mas não tenho certeza

[@jonikq]

Finally!!! Awesome work guys! Do more rebuild timelapses.

[@sweetangel2350]

Incrivel... E esse ronquinho do motor em 5:42 ja mostra que ficou zero essa maquina! Que belo trabalho!!!

[@celsocampos-utilidades1349]

Você viu que em todo lugar é esse modelo de fusca que aparece, aí mostram um fusca alemão que não veio ao BR, que é diferente e moderno e uns bocós falam que os BR são fim do mundo e tudo mais.

Yet another rebuild? *BRING IT ON!!!* - The more the better!

[@Hagerty]

Already hard at work on some more! Glad you're liking them!

[@surlycrosscheck1]

What would the charge be (ballpark) if I were to drive my '69 beetle over and have the same done (stock 1500 single to be left as stock as possible)? Any idea. No need to make a video though :-)

Not sure why the engine needed work, I mean he drove the VW into the shop under its own power, right? You’re not gonna get any better than that with a VW bug,

Where is the auto shop is it in Michigan if so where at and how would I be able to get my vintage Volkswagen there and get it running on the road again

[@ramiibrahim4593]

Wow.. Great Job!! I rebuilt many of this type of engine but never been easy to rebuilt, Crank shaft bearings have two sizes from out side and inside even three are circles with different sizes and one half circle. A bit complicated to rebuilt it but finally it is a German masterpiece 👍

[@tonbraspennincx5943]

I used to do this back in Philadelphia , mij fater was number 1 in rebuilding these engines ik took him almost 3 hours inclusief instalment and test drive

Great job!!! I hope to see from you a rebuild video from Mercedes or BMW engine. Greatings from Germany!!

[@seeingimages]

Great video! Very impressive rebuilding project. Either you two made no sequencing mistakes and you put each part on in the correct order, or you edited the footage brilliantly and made yourselves look perfect! In any case, great work! 😊😊😊😊 👍👍👍👍

[@Itzagr0]

Great thing about recording in detail if you miss where a part went or had one extra screw you can always run the footage back to where the mistake was made and why

[@antoniosilva5933]

Ótimo trabalho . Gosto muito desse carro . 👍👍👍

I love these videos. I now imagine I do this same process with my snowblower, mower, and ice auger but I'm really just drinking beer and cleaning that carb.
