@@scottscott650 thanks for supporting the little channel!

How do you do it ? What did I do incorrectly? Ps , over 10k miles on the rebuild and have zero issues .

Hydraulic tappets are designed to have preload so there is no free play from the cam - tappet - pushrod - rocker - valve to eliminate wear.. the way you have adjusted them there will be play until the engine warms up and the gap may close or may not.. so yes your engine will run no problem as the valves are closing fully but there will definitely be excess wear in the tappets and cams

@@g-sailing4427 I thought air cooled have a gap and water cooled don't. Something to do with the push rod metal types and their different expansion levels due to heat.

Thank you so much ! Super fun and quick build ! Excited to do more to it soon .

Thank you for watching! I have a full build episode on the channel. Figured show a peek at what I’ve been up to since then !

Unfortunately in my experience you need to pull the engine because of clearance issues along with visibility. I have a video later in the series that shows you a more! Take a peek and thank you for watching! 🙌🏻

Hey thanks for watching and subscribing! I hope I was able to show you a thing or two . It’s not a hard job but with most old rigs you tend to go down the repair rabbit hole lol !

From what I understand it was the port size . Marco drills all of the housing out by hand . The larger the port the more flow.

It really was ! My wife so so so happy to get that engine out of the laundry room lol !

Hello and thanks for watching! Okay so Heat Wrapped exhaust helps keep the radiant temperature from the exhaust away from other components and lowers the over all engine bay temperature. Think of it like a blanket around the hot exhaust pipes . It holds the heat in them . It’s very common in the racing world plus it looks cool ! So glad you like the episode and are asking questions! Please help us out with a sub , like and share!

@@WeRoamtheUnknown all you said is true and i would add that technically gas flows faster the more its heated so keeping the heat IN the exhaust actually helps having better flow and power

Thank you so much for watching ! Glad you enjoyed it ! Unfortunately the episode isn’t doing so well ? The algorithm is against me lol Or maybe Volkswagen content gets more attention? Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I seriously appreciate your comment and subscribe! Thank you 10x !

@@WeRoamtheUnknown yea, know your pain, algorithm just luck at this point

Hey Ken ! I’ve been a huge fan for many years and appreciate all the help on this build. Means a lot that you actually viewed my channel!!

Thank you so very much for watching!! This little channel is gaining momentum!

You are correct, I did not remove the lifters . I removed the pushrods , lashing adjustment screws and set the valve lift.

So sorry for the delayed reply! I do appreciate all the love you have left on all my other videos! Unfortunately my laptop died before Christmas and took a lot of footage… I’m trying to recover whatever is left on the hard drive and also save up for a new laptop 😂 . This channel is not sponsored and I’m tapped out after Christmas! So a new episode might take a while .

@@WeRoamtheUnknown Hey no worries. It is a busy time of year at the best of times. Hope all works out and I look forward to more content when you can. Patreon ever a viable option?

We had a great holiday I’m hoping I can share it with you guys . Took Noreen on a road trip 🙊 … hopefully it can be recovered from the laptop. As for Patreon , I don’t have an account. Never really thought about ? I do have a cash app and PayPal because I’m a millennial 😂 Never ever asked for donations but wouldn’t shy away from a little help .

YES !!! Spread the word! Let’s go!!!!!! 😂 TH-cam is a weird environment, some channels have 2 episodes , meaningless content and get millions of views . Most of it contains click bait but still gets picked up by the algorithm? I appreciate you so very much ! Totally made my day !

This is by the BEST comment I have ever received!! Did my wife pay you 👀 or something 😂!! If you have the time and aren’t scared, go for it ! This build took almost every weekend for about 4 months . I mean , if I had the cash I could have probably purchased all the parts up front and cut the time in half but I’m just a normal guy working with a small budget. Can’t wait to be sponsored for ANYTHING ! Seriously thank you x10 over . I’m reposting your comment!

@@WeRoamtheUnknown I have no doubt your wife is wonderful person but sadly we have never met so she doesn’t have pull like that! That came unsolicited from the heart. You get it and it isn’t always easy following that kind of path but you are on it!

Hey thanks for watching !!! I’m sorry I lost you at the blue paint lol I thought the raw osb took away from the cedar planks overall beauty . Not super pumped with paint but it was free 😂 thinking I’ll do some different in the future. Let’s see how well this paint holds up . Glad you enjoyed the episode and much more to come ! Thanks for subscribing to the channel!

@WeRoamtheUnknown I would un-fasten your OSB planks and turn them around... 🤣 Free color fix ! Cheers dude, Keep em coming... 👍

Hey ! Thank you so much ! Seriously means a lot ! 🤘🏻 !

Hey ! Thank you for watching! Honestly you have no idea how much this comment made my day! Vlogging isn’t my day job but I’m learning with every episode I drop lol I’m so happy the content I documented can help you out during your build . You got this 🙌🏻 !

Hey thanks so much for watching!!! Such a journey and I wouldn’t have made it this far without the VW community. I’ve been in a lot of auto groups but NONE like this . I am glad you liked the content and hope you subscribed because I have much more to share 🙌🏻 !

Thanks for the information! I haven’t purchased anything from that vendor yet. I’ll take s peek at the website! Yes those are the OEM full rails and yes they are plastic. I am going to pick up the Mansi speed versions in the future . I believe they are billet aluminum?

I got gates barricade line at advance auto

Hey Tio !!’ Thank you so much ! Hope you are having a good one !

Hey ! Thank you so much for watching!!! It was an amazing feeling! Goosebumps all over when she fired up !

Thank you so very much for the many years of support! Much more to come I promise! Feels so good to hear her running!

I can’t tell you how much this comment means to me and you subscribed immediately! You have a lot of good ones to binge watch! Welcome friend! If you have any questions about your build don’t hesitate to ask !

You absolutely nailed it ! Yes , I feel like I can finally sit back and enjoy owning a Vanagon! After many months of her on jacket stands , familiarizing myself with a waterboxer, dropping so much money on parts i can honestly say it was all worth it ! Much more to come so please stay tuned for the next build !

Hello from the States ! Pennsylvania to be exact! Welcome and thanks for taking a peek ! I am so thankful my little channel has caught your attention! Sub if you haven’t already it really makes a difference 🤘🏻!

Oh really!!! Thanks neat information! I mean aren’t all GMC Motorhomes special ❤️!!

@@WeRoamtheUnknown Ha, ha, ha yes but they were never envisioned as an actual cross-country motorhome. They were pre-van and were seen as big station wagons with a bathroom and the ability to serve a meal and coffee, not actually cook one mind you. That is why the low clearance and the big windows. They were seen as portable offices, dressing rooms, party centers for picnics classy events, and stadium hang-out vehicles with a place for the kids to fall asleep. This feeling is what caused a bunch of GM execs and their wives to get trapped going to an event and caused the redesign of the door.

@@superbmediacontentcreator mind blown 🤯! I mean power train wise I always thought they could have done something more . Possibly designed a diesel platform or something? I get why they went with the Toronto model. Great way to cut production costs when you can drop in a completely assembled engine/ transmission. I’m sure it wasn’t their first choice but it made sense financially.

@@WeRoamtheUnknown I would take mine to car shows and there would always be a few that would want to argue all that like he was the first to have it. As to your comment, you can find the same tail light lenses as the Chevy vans of them (there is a better aftermarket one) and all the knobs are right off the police car Impales. To this day the NY City RTS busses have a lot of panels that could have come right off the GMC motorhomes. One has to understand a lot of this and operate them within their design parameters. Again start with the floor, meaning pull it up. Get the frame right the running great wiring and so forth. Do marine plywood with insulated hardwood floor over perhaps with heating strips between as there is just not enough room to add 3 inches of playroom and insulation. You can't change that design or nothing will ever line up. Do not do carpet or parquet as GMCs attract dirt and sand on the floor and the floor flexes so it will crack the parquet. Then do your interior. I forgot to tell you that the cockpit gets crazy hot in the summer if you don't put gate valves on your heater hoses and if I were doing one over I would run hard lines back as it gets cold for passengers. I do notice that the previous owner had the usual overheating and added the vents on each side of the engine compartment. By the way, the stuff I'm telling you is having had four transcodes and 2 motorhomes so I have already made a lot of mistakes broken things, and been stuck by the side of the road cause I just didn't know a few things in advance. By the way, the mud daubers love the heater output so you will need the screens or suffer the invasion of the wasps behind the sink! Also, you will fall in love with expanding foam since field mice seem to absolutely love the GMCs. One of the big things with GMCs is hunting down and then stowing away such things as glass and hardware but most all the running gear can be either ordered or replaced with lighter and better current technology. So this isn't wishful thinking stuff it's stuff I wish I had known!

Oh I bet ! What an amazing peace of automobile history! How long did you own yours and so you have any words of wisdom to share!?

Hello and thank you for the kind words! I’d say go for it , rebuilt it and put some love into it . These old rigs made it 40 + years on a factory built so why not do a refresh and get another 40 plus more ! Seriously appreciate the message and hope you subscribe! I have alot more to share!

Hey Jakie !!! Thank you for watching ! Sam doesn’t really like being on camera ( you think she would but no haha . I hope you enjoyed and you subscribed 🙏🏽

Of course I did already ❤❤

I completely agree, he was small and that became ever more clear while using him with a family of 5 . When I first got him I’ve never owned an RV and didn’t know what to expect while working on him . Learning something every single day . I’ve also never vlogg a day in my life . A lot of “ first “ happened and you know for a fact . You’ll never forget your first lol . I love this rig . Have him forever tattooed on my leg . Just wish I made the trip to Alaska in him . Had a full circle moment . I am looking for something special. Something unique. Something like Chappie . I’ll know it when I see it i suppose. Thank you so much for subscribing to this little channel and supporting us by watching the episodes ! It truly does matter ❤️

Oh gosh 🥹 your words seriously struck a chord. Thank you for being such a huge supporter of this little TH-cam channel! I do believe you’ve been here since day one . Having connected with a complete stranger from across the pond is truly a special feeling for me . Yes , I’m putting the needs of my family first but also feel like I’m saying goodbye to a family member lol I know it sounds lame but it’s the truth. I’ve grown a lot during this process and so very thankful for all the memories. Alaska is still on my mind and hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to build another rig that can get us there. Cheers my friend! Thank you so very much for joining me on this journey!

Thank you so much for watching! I have another special rig on my TH-cam channel ! Check it out ! I unfortunately couldn’t make a deal with the owner… but I’m still looking for a GMC , something about them just feels right when you are inside.

Thank you for being a constant support on my channel! Truly means a lot to me ! Being so new go Vanagons I’m seriously leaning as I go on this build . Vlogging adds another layer of complexity and effort. Not to mention time 😂 . Again thank you for being so supportive!

I am completely in love with the GMC but this one …. Needed work and the owner was not flexible on pricing. Still on the hunt!

Hey thanks so much for watching the channel! If you haven’t already could you please subscribe and share my journey! Trying to grow and ever single person helps !

Hey thanks for watching ! It is very exciting to see it all come together!

I can’t not speak it but I can’t use google to translate it ! Thank you for watching my channel! It’s amazing to know it has reached your country!
