I owned a 70's KG. years ago. Had an auto clutch which I didn't like. Had it converted to regular clutch. I have never worked on cars. Now I understand why they are expensive to repair. I'm surprised with all the parts and tolerances required that cars run as well as they do. This is fun to watch. Thanks. I'm binge watching.
Thank you so much.! I have a “beetle 1974 J and 1200cc it is still running and working.Your shows will help me in the future in my car.In my country there are I think only 10 beetles and I have a problem with parts of the beetle. Pre-war there are a lot in Kosova but nowdays there are a few.I’m an English teacher and I’m half serviser in my home. If you ask me why am I a half serviser because there isn’t any beetle serviser and no parts.Beetle is my lovely car andits my passion.Thank you again for your shows.!!
I love the AE case VW engine. That's how I started my career in this business. That was 37 years ago. Dude, clean it, replace pistons, barrels, line bore the case, threadsert the case, new bearings, flush or replace the oil cooler, replace the oil pump, new push rod tubes. The cam and crank actually look good. But have a machinist check the journals.
First rule of rebuilding a VW engine is BEFORE you disassemble you retorque the nuts on the head studs to 35 ft pounds. (OEM spec is like 27) What this does is assure you that none of the studs pulls out during final assembly. If they do pull out you can get oversized studs or self-tap over size but both will put aluminum fragments into the crankcase so you want to handle this early in the game. Whant to get all of that crap out of the inside? First use a degreaser then spray with oven cleaner and let soak for several hours before hitting it with a garden hose. Basically a DIY hot tank to get the black crud off.
I hear that, probably better off running new lifters. I did as well. I used a Rubbermaid container , with purple Power and some good scrub brushes. Scrub the shit out of her! Lol.. Its a huge labor of 💘
Nothing yet. I just cleaned the garage yesterday because the weather finally started to cool off a bit. I still have to clean the case and heads. The weather should be nice all week so maybe an hour or so after work and it should be good to go.
And don't forget the heads. Have a machine shop do a valve job on them. Go back together with specs and a torque wrench. Have fun. Good gasket sealer, these things are leakers
The only way to make a real hot rod out of any guia is with a subaru or a used porche engine....i've seen the outcome first hand...and they just fly...cheers!

Yes, the motor is good. I took the case and heads to a local vw shop and they said it should be fine to rebuild. Just need to clean it up a bit. Thanks for asking Jason!
If you did a video of rebuilding this engine I couldn't find it. All I found about it was the Jan 1 "update" that said you would make one of it. Did I miss it somewhere?
Hi @@CTmoog After 3x Beetles, one split screen bus a Karmann Ghia, Porsche 912 and 2x 356 Porsches, much sweat and bruised knuckles later I realised these are bulletproof motors. Sadly I sold all of these. Thank you for posting. BTW those small plates under the cylinders are essential for cooling.
4 videos later we have an engine junk yard... And no sign of parts 5, 6, 99, or indeed anything resembling a running motor.. Shall I look in eBay under failed restorations? Just in case you are wondering, there is one thing worse than a motor needing restoration.. one like THIS! Never buy!
Hey G! Yes, it's weird but that's how they designed it! It has a oil screen and it somehow filters out the junk and keeps it at the bottom. Thanks for watching! Did you subscribe?
@@CTmoog The screen works very well if kept clean and the oil changed. Regular valve adjustments and the VW motor will last very well for many miles. Correctly maintained there isn't much to go wrong except the belt.

Def worn when you see the copper. Good base for a rebuild. I haven’t done one since 88, so good to see a complete tear down!

i know I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
Wow that was a cool way of splitting the cases! Never saw that technique before.
you are a smart man wow----canada
If you don’t remember to put everything back you always have the video good job
This is true! Thanks man! Stay tuned for more! Did you subcribe?

I’m going to attempt my first 1600 rebuilt. Yikes!
Every time they come apart it's like magic 😁
Yes, there is something really cool about it! Thanks for hanging out man!

Man thank you for all the insight! I really do appreciate it! I will try the oven cleaner and see how it goes! Thank you! Keep watching! More to come!
Should be fine. Add lifters to the list cause they fell out when you split the case. You have a fun project ahead of you! Enjoy
Thanks E-man! I know I forgot about those but I think they are a bit worn out as well. What did you use to clean your case?
I hear that, probably better off running new lifters. I did as well. I used a Rubbermaid container , with purple Power and some good scrub brushes. Scrub the shit out of her! Lol.. Its a huge labor of 💘
Cool, I will try that!!! Yes, it has been so far for sure!
Soooo, how did machine shop trip turn out. Any news... We want to hear....

Looks like a keeper.
I hope so!

Ahhh this is the hybrid experiment engine type, using both water and air for cooling.
Looks like the coolant got into the oilways though ... :-)
Thats funny! Didn't think about it that way!
the good thing about those engines, they aren't extremely heavy to handle. .
That is true. Not too heavy!
How many miles were on this poor power plant before you decided to take it apart??
Ihope the case checks out good for you .
Thanks man! Me too!
Try to get all parts chrome-plated then the engine really looks awesome
So sad. That engine looks to have been in good shape before it was left to sit. Looks like a good core to build from though.
Yes, the case and heads are good! I'm going to rebuild it soon! Thanks for watching man!

Sounds like a good time! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! =)
That case splitter goes in the oil pump hole.
Thanks man!
Just take particular care of the cooling system! LMFAO 🤣😂🤣😂😂
hang on to those german lifter cores. parts places are running out of them.
Yes, I'm keeping all of it. you never know when you might need it.
why the rebuild? that motor looks in pretty good nick inside...

Good tip! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
For missing way too many oil changes, it didn't look all that bad, except for the sludge buildup...How did it run prior to teardown?
Look into a long block replacement. It may be as cheap as a rebuild.
Thanks Daniel! Great idea! That might be the way to go!
Any update on the motor ?
Yes, the motor is good. I took the case and heads to a local vw shop and they said it should be fine to rebuild. Just need to clean it up a bit. Thanks for asking Jason!

watch this one:

@@CTmoog Got it thanks. I was curious, did the green Ghia get shelved?
The valve cover on one side leaked and water got in. The rest was probably fine.
Hi Andre, I think you might be right. Thanks for watching and hanging out!

Wow you've had some toys! Very cool! Thanks man! I'll make sure I put them back on.
Never rebuilt an engine. Have you done it before?
No! not yet! soon I hope!

Screwdrivers should not be used as chisels.
there's no oil filter strange that's not so good especially old engines are really dirty
