@@charlesloar3210 thank you sir!

The Thorsten adjusters look like better quality. I am ditching the ball adjusters I got. 💩 they just seem cheap to me, and I don't like the possible failure point.

Yep, why take the chance? If it aint broke, don't "fix" it.

Thanks man. You know what, after I was done filming, I realized I totally forgot; I have one of those torque multiplier tools to get er done. duh... Lol. works great.

@VWBaja I would like one of those. I've broken 2 breaker bars so far re-sealing my swing axles.

not the cheapest tool. BUT, worth every penny! Easy to use, and makes sketchy, semi-dangerous high torque tasks super, Super easy, safe and quick to complete. amzn.to/414oTkf

Mark is "The dude". When I call CBPerformance, I ask for him directly because I trust his judgement. He's always willing to help and shares his experiences and knowledge. I often find myself learning something new from my conversations with Mark. 👍

Yes, agreed! 🤙

Sounds like a plan. 😎

You and Mark from CB Performance are on the same page. thanks again.

@@draksia nice! Sounds like a fun project!

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle thats what the voices in my head were thinkin too. sounds good to us.. haha🤪

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle 😃k, thanks for the comments.

@@VWBaja Wait to see, If they come loose or leak oil down the road.

@@alejandrocasas1455 More updates on the heads comin up soon, so keep watchin..

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Bought it years ago during covid. Sorry, dont remember who sold it... Any idea what that washer is for with the flat end on the side?

@@VWBaja I have no idea, about the washer. Never saw one, of those either.

🤙

@slingbuzz9148 ..Shirley we will ...

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle no, what are you getting at??

@@VWBaja I can't add links. TH-cam will delete them. That book on how to hot rods vw engines, has some info, and samba has more information on how to increase oil pressure, volume, etc. EzGZ has nice tips also.

Oh, yep, when I got this new 26mm pump I watched the EZGZ vids (and others) and I have port matched the oil holes to the case and radiused the pump ports internally. She should be all set. The cover plate getting blocked off was a surprise though... thought that would match the pump better out of the box (it is a kit). I could have done more to that cover but didn't want to grind on her too much.

thanks! 😎

Watch the video again.

ya think? any idea what year that tach is from?

@ no clue man.

Nice job.

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle thank you sir!

maybe.. IDK, but its threaded on the outside.. idk..

Thanks!

Yep, Agreed, I still have stuff I need (want) to buy... and the list keeps getting longer. ..and wallet gets lighter. But it keeps me out of trouble. 😎

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle🤙

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle kinda like the aluminum ones with the fins.. had luck with those.

@@VWBaja MST ones are US made. I never owned the MST ones. Just heard good feedback.

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle not yet.

@@VWBaja With the gear in place. It will have less end play.

At least put the gland nut on and torque it down to 60 or so pounds.

@@billhaneline7498 I did, watch at 21.29.. I mention it. I had it on and off a half dozen times, torqued, ratcheted no change.. Keep watching, I eventually figure out what the problem is and solve the problem in future vids. 😎

I really want to trade for a late 70's Ford 4x4 but entertaining offers.

more details starting at 16:00 of above video.

Thanks! 😎

🤗

is there a way to fix or prevent that from happening?

@@VWBaja Yes, Have a machine shop finish, what Mofoco started.

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Not sure what they could "finish".. My local machine shop is expensive!...maybe its time for me to start thinking about those Panchitos.

@@VWBaja It might be cheaper for you in the long run. You put a lot of work into that vw engine. It would suck to see a valve head stuck on the piston top, some time down the road.

I bleed.. you win. 🚑

Thank you sir!

@@VWJawbreaker The cam is for sale. Or whom ever wins the name my Baja contest may want it. 😎

Yeah, I will probably sell the Turbo Cam. No need for it,,,yet...haha.😉😁😂

I have a dingle ball hone..

they are "new" so they should be able to take a good honing. 😉

@slingbuzz9148 Contact me by email @vwbajabug54 I have good news for you. 😎

Dont want to, and dont really need to .. but would be nice to have some extra money for a newer daily driver.

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle The baja is eventually going to my niece. The Firebird was supposed to go to my other niece but, her dad thinks its a bit much for her. And, I need the money to buy a new truck for my daily driver. My F150 is an 08, nothing wrong with it, just time to upgrade. I was thinking about buying a late 70's Ford 4x4 Truck.

@@VWBaja You could trade in, your Firebird for a nice 70's Ford 4x4 Truck at, High octane classics.

i will check it out..

Thanks 👍

Never thought it would get this involved but I'm learning a lot. 🤙

I know I may be going a little over the top trying to get it "perfect".... Being it's my first build, this is how I learn what is what. But the tools are a little off, and the parts are off, and I need to know how far off. (OCD) haha. All those little things being off add up to BOOM.! or knock, knock, knock, knock... rut ro raggy. LOL. I figure if I do all this extra work now with the tools to get a more "true measurement" I will make my life a lil easier for the next build. Thank you once again my friend. ⚡U R the Dude 😎
