what no mice?

[@5150mxVW]

no , just fire ants :)

Only up here in New England ;)

[@brianandrews7099]

We don’t have mice problems down here ... just little lizards!

What a privilege to see two great videos within the last couple of weeks from Darin and Mustie, on how to bring back to life the old VW engines. Defo the KZbin VW engine dream team.

Couldn't agree more!!!

Adventure ! with expert , fun loving tour guides . Free ! all week .

I think I see a new challenge forming : " Worst abandoned Vw Engine on KZbin "

[@muzzcovw7674]

I really need to start filming! I have a couple that would qualify for the challenge

[@roberthayes5037]

Best engine ever. These engines had amazing fuel economy and when modified there were only a few that could beat them.

[@doddsalfa]

The 1600 cc engine?

[@johnfalkenstine8377]

I like that flywheel gland nut tool.

[@bedlamite42]

Darrin, you need a small sturdy table for doing things like this. It'll save your back and knees. ETA: only took 40 minutes

[@JMKGarage]

Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.

[@jackvegas3705]

God how I loved my old beetles back in the day. I threw a rod going over the Grapevine outside LA on New Years Eve, 1969. Managed to nurse it a few more miles to a restaurant parking lot. Tore it down before dawn, hitchhiked into town for parts, then came back and put it back together. Slept like a log that night. Next morning I was back on the road. Life and cars were simpler back then.

[@justinsmith847]

I really enjoy watching videos like this I really want a beetle one day one day .....

[@heathhenderson7217]

One of the best real time tear down vids. Looks a lot like all the projects I get myself into. Looking forward to the rebuild!

[@toddmichaeljaniszewski]

I am eagerly going to watch this progress. I'm kind of shocked you mentioned so much was worth salvaging. Every motor I've bought with water/moisture issues, that disassembled far easier than this.ended up having so much of the case at the sump being eaten away that I just disposed of it all.

[@rasdavis8390]

I swear this has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouts to the guy pulling engine apart absolute legend #mrdontplay😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

[@vayabroder729]

Love it! Darrin and CT in da house!!

[@kaganos71]

This was an awesome video. Cant wait for part 2!

[@eugenebaroni1298]

Wow great to see you back in action. I know you will have it running in no time u the Man!!!!

[@Bamabuggin256]

Looked good to me was surprised the water didn't eat away at the magnesium around the oil sump

[@Buckswoodshop]

Have no fear VW Darrin will make it run!

[@bobbygriffen7631]

I would love to see a step by step budget rebuild. love your videos!

[@muzzcovw7674]

Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming

[@actualsurfer]

The neighbors have got to love this guy!

[@FixinBugsNStuff]

Can’t wait to see it run.

[@BrainfromSpain]

Thank God I worked on these engines in the 60's when there wasn't so much corrosion!!!!

[@robertgwinn8406]

Cool.. good to see you

[@oldtanker4860]

I watch multiple VW shop video producers channels. I have to say there are several times I wish I could spend a week working with them learning how to wrench VW's, especially the engines. Being a former aircraft mechanic I figure I could catch on.

[@BelgianMuscle]

"I need a hammer" truer words were never sproken lol

[@jimringo2569]

Did my 36 hp in the kitchen 1974. New wife from nice upbringing handled it ok.

Couldn't live without my torque multipliers. Best tools ever!

[@gonesideways6621]

I can always tell an experienced mechanic by condition of his tools and conditions of his forearms they look like mine after forty plus years of turning wrenches, never doubt that he can rebuild this four banger!

[@VW7472]

Can't wait to see this run a testimate to Darrin and VW engineering ;-) 👊👊👊👊👊 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@chriscraft77022]

I appreciate this video.. I just bought a beetle last month and i bought a parts car to start a bigger engine build.. i subbed

[@terryraymond7984]

I cant wait to see the internals

[@matt82654]

At 4:00 what a great tool!!

[@GregsGarage]

Looks like a runner to me!

[@midwestron8576]

I've brought home old cases like that before and often the bottom is rotted out around the oil sump. Best way to store them is upside down.

[@martinharris5017]

Great fun!

[@stephenlang419]

Great JOB !

[@OrignalRobRobert]

Great video

[@waynepollard6879]

To build a motor from an engine would be a miracle !

[@stucrossland3719]

It's a single port so it can't be 1600.Check with the letter before the engine number,that will tell you which engine this is.

[@matthewkelly5471]

That’s a job I would like to do. Think I would rather have the engine on a bench.

[@gabe5946]

That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share

[@jayacourt8282]

Cool AF 👌🏻

[@garyelkhorn2116]

Automatic sticks have an extra oil pump for the converter.

What a fun video. Hehe

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Should be fun!

[@curranhouse]

is there a part 2? Love it! :)

[@ccbiezenbos]

Interesting..

[@arlindhinds5459]

Good day Darrin. Great video. I have a 1600 VW and it’s leaking oil from the pulley and as far as I know they don’t have and gasket. And ideas to help me. And I have an single port, I thing it’s a 1600. Wanted to know if I could change the heads to a dual port. Tks.

[@nevadastronghold]

Uncle Adolph wouldn’t be proud of this build

[@danw1955]

I had a '71 S.P. 1600 in my bug, but it had the later style oil cooler off the back of the blower housing (unlike this one).🤔

[@frankbaker3494]

Where did you get that flywheel tool? That's badass

[@nick1122]

Really need to put your glasses on !!!

[@tomcoryell]

The vac port is for brake servo. I’m guessing ‘71 bus. Probably NOT automatic or auto stick.

[@MrStrangelymade]

Looking forward to part 2

[@andyhamilton8940]

Darin reminds of the sad clown painting when he has his hat off😅

[@michaelibey6700]

It's definitely not a 40 Hp, the manifold tells U that. The crank was updated the last rebuild to the "X" drilled crank. Probably an "F" or early "h" case. Most likely a 1600.

[@vincentchaza8111]

Eeh my dear friend,we have things we call work benchs.Yu should consider investing in one.

[@capthwdy08]

Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated

[@terryraymond7984]

ya oughta show that one to Mustie1

👍 👍 👍!!!

[@stancataline7385]

Try using PB blaster it works on rusty seized bolts much better than wd40.

[@djambrosia]

I put a screw driver through the sump on the last swamp engine I built.

Hahaha Stop the doubting CT, you're forgetting who you're messing with. Lookin forward to seeing it run in a week Darrin, don't let us down. lol

[@darrenguinn3879]

I've a dual port type 1 engine that was started once when picked up from shop that did a complete rebuild to it. But now 6years later this engine has been left outside in the car that it was put in after rebuild. I'm putting it in my 67 beetle it won't start, it has a petronics distributor, could this be a problem. So any advice on my situation. Any help should be appreciated. Thank You. Mr. Procrastinate.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Is there a part 2?

I thought it would be much worse I cant beleive it came apart

I thought the vacuum was for the brakes.

what is that tool called you use at 3:35?

You can buy 40 screws for a 9 bucks that's what I did what a big difference throw them old ones away the new ones are awesome

I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966

[@shoominati23]

Ive seen them so bad that front pulley is disentegrating from the rust

[@MrGarcon98]

this was fun ! can i ask the address of your shop i am in inverness not too far really ,id like me and the wife ride there i d have a few questions . thank you

[@darrenhumphris7522]

If it was a automatic how come it has a clutch and pressure plate?

[@FPRESLEY1]

Looks like you’ve done this once or twice before

[@boydchapman5660]

I want one. Where did you buy that torque multiplier? And how much?

[@tomcoryell]

Any reputable VW aftermarket supplier sells it. Torquemeister is one brand.
