Just about to launch into this, so finding a non-american voice to guide me is much appreciated. Great vids.

[@techshebeen]

Thanks, Tim! Best of luck with it. The secret is plenty of cups of tea.

[@E.Mayrhofer]

Thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot. 🙋

[@techshebeen]

That's great to hear, thank you for the message!

[@SpaceCoast_]

Appreciate these videos, its a big help. Just inherited a 73/74 westfalia with the same engine and carbs. Thinking about pulling the heads to check everything though. Ill have to check your channel to see if you have a breakdown

[@techshebeen]

Thanks for the message, JP! Also, congratulations on your recent inheritance! Also, I love Space Ghost.

Just brilliant at last straight talking relaxed no stress this guy is the funniest and dispels fears of the type 4

[@techshebeen]

Thank you very much for the great comment! Once I've the NSU project wrapped up I'll be back to the VW!

[@andybuchanan3212]

Excellent videos. Very comprehensive.

[@techshebeen]

Thank you, Andy!

[@FLAVU5]

Great video. Everything well explained. I like your clean workshop!

[@techshebeen]

Thank you very much! A clean workshop means a dirty mind!

[@andyscott0]

Fantastic work, great video on the t2 !! I getting mentally ready to start my 77 t2 restoration soon

[@techshebeen]

Thanks, Andy! The work never ends with these buses, but they're a pleasure to work on.

[@ArohaKiwi]

Great video. At least the rod tubes come out of the Type 4 without removing head! This job is much harder on earlier engines 🙄

[@techshebeen]

Yes! It's definitely one of the Type 4 engine's party tricks. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.

What product did you use to clean the crankcase? Very nice indeed, i'm doing the same work wright now!! Loving your calm and thorough explination! 👍 Should be picked up by many more.... 😉🇧🇪

[@techshebeen]

Hi Davy! I primarily use 'elbow grease'! Nah, just some Gunk and a toothbrush works best, I find.

[@davidsalmon634]

How did you get it so clean? Thanks, Dave

[@techshebeen]

Hey Dave. Thanks for the message. Got it clean exactly as I show in the video....with a toothbrush and some 'Gunk'! 😂

[@techshebeen]

Also some tactical vapour blasting.

Buen día mi amigo. Nunca abrió el motor? No era necesario? Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.

[@techshebeen]

¡Mis mejores deseos desde Irlanda, amigo mío! El motor es original y nunca se abrió... la compresión es realmente buena y por eso no fue necesario abrirlo, además quería conservarlo como salió de fábrica VW. ¡Gracias por el mensaje!

[@JuanMoreno-by8pu]

@@techshebeen Gracias por su respuesta. Se nota que este motor ha tenido un excelente mantenimiento. Cuando removió la tapa de punterías se miraba realmente limpio. Saludos cordiales.

@@JuanMoreno-by8pu Este bús recibe mucho amor!

[@cyprianskiba8768]

Is that a specific VW engine holder?

[@techshebeen]

Hey there; no, that's called a 'universal' yoke.

[@ronmac9066]

No issues with it yet

[@jasonobispo5921]

@@techshebeen did you take the studs out of the engine and use other bolts to mount it? If so, would you happen to have info on the size you used to mount to the yoke?

[@techshebeen]

@@jasonobispo5921 Hey there Jason... to be honest, I can't remember what I did! 😂 Although I think I may have cut some decent quality threaded bar and used a nut and large washers to help spread the weight and not stress the casing.

[@ronmac9066]

Is that a petronix ignition?

[@techshebeen]

Oh yes indeed! Ignitor II.
