I think there's more than one type of patina look. Your bus tells a story. The yellow flames on the passenger door, auto logo's on the tailgate, part yellow, and part turkis - that works for me and makes this bus a lot of fun to look at.

If the seller was a VW guy, this is shameful. A bore scope may of helped diagnose the problem prior to strip down. Keep the videos going as they are enjoyable to watch. 💪🏼🇬🇧

Tried a scope, but mine does not have a 90° camera. All that debris you see for a quick second in the combustion change has compacted flat against the head. Thanks for watching!

The joys of swap meets and "ran when parked" type stories. I'm sad the yellow is gone.

Well that escalated quickly! 🙂 Great video! I have never worked on a VW motor but it looks easier then an old V8.

I paid a reasonable fifty dollars ,for a non running engine couple years back

I’m just starting to rebuild engines and it is like a treasure hunt. VW parts on the samba and at swap meets yield good finders sometimes.

@wickedwerks Ай бұрын

Sometimes 😂 good luck!

If you saw a 70’ single cab in pristine condition at Terryville Fairgrounds, I found it for the owner, Larry, in South Carolina. Between us, we have 5 single cabs……. Um Just Sayin, we do like those trucks. I mostly watch your channel preferred.

Great real-world video. The trials and tribulations of a used engine. Is that a 34 carb on that 1500?

@wickedwerks Ай бұрын

Nah, 30 PICT 2. I’ll use that to get it running. If it runs good, I want to put a set of ICTs on it. Thanks for watching

What is that piece in front of the carb? Never seen that. I love my 1500 SP in my early 68.

Some kind of emissions related equipment, I believe.

Send the guy the video link and ask for a partial refund.

If I had his contact info 😂I gave him a card, maybe he’ll watch…and laugh

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Ай бұрын

@wickedwerks If the engine seller watches your channel, he should get in touch with you, and send you a refund. It's the right thing to do.

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Ай бұрын

No one should pay more than $50 for a non running engine. Unless it has good bolt-on used parts on it.

@Brodiesbuses Ай бұрын

Good luck with that

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Ай бұрын

@@Brodiesbuses It just my opinion, and what I might pay, for a non-running type 1 or a type 4 engine. Seized engines, are not rare here in New England.
