Your a good man to have pics of your family on your work bench. Great video !

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thanks very much!! My family is my whole life. Thanks for the nice comment. I appreciate that!

These videos are so good, I just hit the "Like" button then I watch them...lol! Thanks for taking the time.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

thank you Travis for taking the time to do that. I truly appreciate it.

[@conrad1468]

Thank you for the shout out!! I was surprised the impact gun got the red thread lock and torqued gland nut off.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Cory Anderson Absolutely brother!! Yeah me too, it’s a HF gun. Says 250 ft lb. Not sure I believe it, I was shocked it worked that off!!

[@bushpig6837]

Great work. I've never seen a factory tilt/slide sunroof on a beetle before.

[@williamtanner1372]

You got a deal on that parts engine. And no loose studs! I had 3. You'll have it on the road in a few days.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

william tanner truly William that was an excellent deal with your right. The pistons and oil pump were never used. And the heads are very nice. I did re-lap the valves, I did a video on that too. I was thrilled.

[@ibrewster]

Yes, I'm interested in seeing you polish the ports with a dremel! Before you ask, yes, I'm a real hit at parties!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

John McCann Haha!! Your too much!! 😂 I may do these heads, or the extra set I have on hand.

[@thebadbug7026]

Another great video! Those 87’s with the 100 cam and 1.25 rockers would make a nice, peppy daily driver!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you! I want to build a stroker for the next beetle build that's coming here soon. But this should definitely be a little better then stock.

[@christopherskulina350]

Great videos! Thank you for the help!! They are helping me gain confidence to start to restore my "66 Sand shark".

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

Hi there Slades. One can’t never have too many engines ... lol... those pistons do looks cleaned 🧽.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Junior Classic VW bugs Yeah it’s nice to have extra one on hand for parts. The Pistons are brand new, they were never used at all just placed on the engine.

[@nickpitsakis755]

I like the way you dismantled the engine. I can’t wait till you place the parts on the other one. You got me worked up though and I’m tempted to go and tackle on my own stuff. Good job man.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

NIck Pitsakis Thanks Nick! The next video will be up soon. Well many more to come. I have another beetle waiting in the background so I need to get this done

[@crankbait09]

great video, that torque mister tool you borrowed is worth it's weight in gold! I bought one as well....sure glad I did. I went through this process on my 63 beetle 2 years ago.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Shawn D Yes your right! That’s probably one of the best tools available! Dang a 63! That’s awesome!!!

[@greglogan73]

Great deal, the parts look good. 200 is what I paid for each of my engines, but mine do not have nice newer parts on them, just very used. I hope to use the blocks only.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Greg Logan Honestly it was a good deal!! You did good for 200 each. Used engines near me are about 4-500 and they’re not running

[@PopularityContest]

You should of set a premiere for this one I didn't get chance to grab my popcorn

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Popularity Contest Haha! Thanks brother. I have a lot of engine videos to do. Your channel is looking great brother!

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

I actually have two of those drills and they do the job

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Junior Classic VW bugs It honestly works quite well. I have a really large Milwaukee drill. But that’s mostly used on house stuff.

[@randoorlando443]

Another great informative video, seems to be one of the only ones on youtube of doing this definitely going to be a great use to me P.s if it hasnt been made already i wouldn't mind a port polishing video

[@VeeDubP8]

Great work brother!! Keep at it!!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

VeeDub P8 Thanks brother! I truly appreciate that. I hope you’ve been doing well.

[@marcijunebug]

Cory has the same “issues” I have lol, old land rovers and old VW’s! Lol🤣🤙

[@SladesVWBeetle]

marcijunebug HAHA!! Cory is a really great friend!! Those old Rovers are very cool!!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

The cylinder tins can't be used on your bug without adding sheet metal that was cut off. They are great for off road buggies. Check out what OEM tins look like. 👍

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Vintage 76 vipergreen # Romeo I have the OEM on my other motor I’m using. I caught it after I looked at them again. Thanks for being here!!

[@blakewaddell451]

Another great video Slades. Seems you are always using the same 1/4 ratchet every time lol at least to start with then you move to bigger tools 😂 I pay attention to things like that. I’m learning a lot that I didn’t know. Even though I’m a mechanic I don’t see or deal with these everyday so I like learning specifically about these. Nobody at work shares the same VW interest lol.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Yeah where I worked for years, no one there had any interest in the VWs. So I had to work on them as they came in. Lol I use the 1/4 inch a lot unless it’s heavy torque. I have been that guy who over tightens stuff!! 😁

[@blakewaddell451]

@@SladesVWBeetle lol it happens. I have a coworker who doesn’t like using hand tools so he tries doing everything with power or air and gets yelled at by the boss 😄. Nothing like having him strip out an entire 6 spark plugs driving them down with an air gun or one of the many drain plugs he has tried to impact on. It’s a wonder he still has a job. And let’s not forget the die he drove down that I was telling you about earlier lol 😂. He hates hand tools that much.

@@SladesVWBeetle nice cant wait

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Dj Marzo Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@djambrosia]

I'd pass on those slip in pistons, the skirts break off real easy. Some port work on those heads with 1.25 rockers will make a big difference. Coming together nicely.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

djambrosia Theyre more of a temporary thing until I do my next engine. A little head work truly goes a long way for sure!!

[@redshirt-scotty]

verify those rocker arms. we didn't get a good look but they look like 1.1's. been seeing the family photos in the background for a while now.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Scotty C I checked they only say EMPI on them. My buddy I bought the engine off of said they’re 1.25. Not sure how to tell 🤷‍♂️

[@redshirt-scotty]

@@SladesVWBeetle do you have some 1.1 stocker's about the place? just eyeball it. the difference is easily noticeable. it's possible empi changed the forging slightly so those are 1.25 but look like 1.1. i looked at some samba photos and an ezgz vid but there are no really good photos showing the difference. the vw forging 1.25 has the pushrod cup significantly shifted towards the rocker shaft.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Scotty C I looked today, after reading your comment. I put a set of stock ones next to them and they looked identical. So I think you are right.

[@redshirt-scotty]

@@SladesVWBeetle well there go. see proof positive that i don't fast forward your vids. just looking out for you.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Scotty C Haha! Thanks Scotty! I guess I’ll use them since they’re new. But must be stock replacements by Empi. I don’t know what 1.25 would look like.

What size socket did you used to take off the fly wheel you can help me save a trip
