I was 19 years old , I just had a Flashback of a Seasoned VW Mechanic teaching me how to do a Valve job. I am now 68 years old and still remember the lesson. What a great Video. Some people learn by reading - some watching -others doing. This is Great Teaching material.
One of the best build videos I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched a lot of them. Thank you for filming and asking a lot of questions a long the way. Lots of wisdom from your friend. He’s legendary. Really enjoyed watching him share his knowledge through the whole thing. Will be using a lot of tips and tricks on building my single port and doing work on my 1914 ghia engine. Thanks! Great video
I built the air cooled vw engines for many years. 40 hp valve clearences .008 intake and .012 exhaust. There was valve clearence variations on some engines if the rocker studs were shorter or deeper into the heads on some older heads. The .004 and .006 were used on 1500 and 1600 motors. Are you building a bus engine? The muffler looks like a bus one.
Hi CT....sorry to ask you this question over the VW engine rebuild vid, but it just popped into my head. I can see you're always busy with work & the videos, will we ever get to see any more progress on the Karmann Ghia? it's been about a year since any updates....I had the opportunity to buy one here in Melbourne, Australia & I'm always looking out for complete resto project vids to keep me inspired 😁
@@CTmoog It is is a 1960 (Australian delivery, Right Hand Drive) model. I've always favoured the models btwn '60-'69. I know the most highly sort after & most desirable model was the '67, which LUCKY YOU 🤣have & currently restoring. There were NO Australian delivery of the '67 model, not sure why....I'd love to send you some pics but don't know how to on this reply section...Maybe if I use your business email address?
I fell asleep watchin this and i could of sworn i was buildin an engine with nicolas cage and some guy cause i kept trying to give instructions cause i could hear it while asleep but couldnt talk and there was a lake right next to open garage doors and i could see down in it and see fish!! Lol so weird. i woke my self up and saw what ya'll were buildin and rewatched it cause i've built hundreds of vw engines. Nice job thanks for sharin!
From 1974 to 1977 I learned car mechanic by VW in Germany after the 3 years I was tested in theory and practice and I got the certificate for car mechanic without this certification you can't work as car mechanic in Germany I don't know how much of this Boxer engine's I repaired but it was a lot 😏
Nice montage, CT. In Brazil, it is usual to assemble it a little differently, which can be seen on Tonella's channel, a specialist in air-cooled engines in São Paulo. Congratulations on the super cool projects! Hugs, Bauru/SP
Hi from South Africa. Wow, it's an absolutely amazing engine build. I learned a lot. Darren is an amazing mentor. If I were a jounger, I would have loved to work and learn under his guidance. By the way, what city is this workshop at. Good luck with the installation of this engine and happy riding 😅. Cheers
Hi CT, getting ready to start rebuilding my old 40hp engine. I got new bearings, pistons and jugs for it. My case is older without main stud Orings and cam bearings so not much needed to put the case halves together. I also got new lifters since the old one were flat. The fun starts.
Hey Tim! that's awesome man! Make sure you film all of it and share it with everyone! =) I'm working on my 40h as well. Just rebuilt the 26 pict-1 today. It's got more punch now. The fuel inlet came loose so I need to find a barb with a thread and screw it in so it doesn't pop out again. That's how they catch on fire.....what brand cam and lifters did you buy?
Using the same cam and stock lifters but the box says racing lifters. Maybe it will go faster. Haha. Never rebuilt a VW engine before so a first for me. I have rebuilt ford and chevy engines before which are allot harder. These are tinker toys compared to those. Getting our newer RV ready also for our annual trip down the Pacific Coast. Can't wait. Will share videos on TH-cam. Oh, I haven't even looks as to what the original carb I have for this yet? Looks like it took a mudd bath. Will drop the whole thing in my chemdip can and go through it. Yes, these are fire starters so tapping it out and put in a barb fitting would be a great improvement for sure👍
I used to rebuild those engines when I was in my early teens. Installed a lot of big bore kits, dual weber carbs. Complete rebuilds and reconditioning of every part
That was one of the best builds I've seen. Good old VW. May it live forever. I'm always so impressed that the little engine that could has stood the test of time.
Hey am i crazy or did you mate the two case halfs twice? First i saw it at 38:39 and again at 39:22? Is there two engines in this video or did you have to separate them after matting them the first time im so confused to what i saw it was never explained. Please reply so i know im not crazy.
Engine firing order is 1432 but clockwise, not anti clockwise as shown 1 hour 43 minutes 20 seconds in that's why engine wouldn't run at the end. (noticed leads had been changed but no mention of it?) sorry but waisted loads of time previously and don't want other people doing the same... great video guys.
I always used scotch bright pads (red) with dawn dish soap to clean cylinders lightly to knock off the sharp edge , especially on air cooled engines, I did this to all my rebuilds. try it some time, My rebuilds lasted over 25 years and still going, I rebuilt Lots of diesels, I did this to a cat engine that had 700 thousand miles honed the cylinders with dingle berry used cylinders and pistons new rings. the customer said the oil was always cleaner in that engine at oil changes then any other it has 400 thousand miles and still going strong. Try it you'll be amazed , I retired after 35 years.
Good job, but please use hose clamps on the fuel line. You don't want leakage of fuel and what else happening. Also there are double coated fuel lines available that wear less quicky. The fuel filter doesn't belong there in my humble opinion. Potential leakage of the fuel above the distributor is fatal.
My brother always raced VW Dune Buggy's,......in mud runs. He would enter 3 times and take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place other racers hated him the fans loved to watch him wheely through the mud pit. The other racers tried to look at his engine to see what 4 barrel carburetor and nitrus he was running. He quit using VW engines because they always spun the same bearings,...it was cylinder 1 or 2, I forget now. But he started using the pinto beam kit using 74 pinto engines,.....titanium bolts and everything else. Then his buggy was untouchable,....Then he also ran in the outlaw class against 4 wheel drives.
Yea, its way easier to do it before putting halves together!!! But you can put your drive gear in backwards, but thats easy enough to lift and adjust after assembly
My late father was Volkswagen mechanic and service manager he put the distributor both ways mostly put drive in later but he told me to put in first because i was a Amateur .
I haven’t assembled a VW engine in decades, great video. One thing I normally did was use plasti-gage on the rod bearings to determine proper clearance, did you do that part off camera?
😮 wow I love that engine process I wish one day find someone who show me stuff like this not in school just on streets I like school but went u learn its like this gentleman did ❤
Hi CT, just rewatching this one because I just picked up a old 40hp to play with. The guy I got it from works or owns a machine shop up north from here and he watches you and Darrin. He loves the channels. He has a 58 bug that he is building a super horsepower motor for it. He has a bunch of VW parts for I know where to get them now. He didn't have a starter though so will need to get one and the setup for starting it on the floor like you guys did. Is that the normal exhaust that curls under the motor that is sits on?
good morning where did you find the bracket that allows the starter motor to be attached to the crown for starting the engine without fitting the gearbox where you can buy it
it's possible but I don't think so...He may have polished everything with a super fine paper or scotch bright and he may have opened up the oil holes a bit to allow more flow. It's been so long I can't remember.
It was a struggle getting the large gear on and the top small bushing but prevailed with some persuasion. The old service manual for this, states to heat up the gear in an oil bath to 176 degrees to put it on. everyone uses a hot plate but put and little oil on where the gear is going. it states to press the gear on with a tool which is like and pipe that goes over the crank so made my own tool and it worked. The issue with the small nose bearing was a sharp edge on the crank? have to file it down to get the bushing on.
Is it just me or did Darren forget to put the cam in at first? The weird edit at 37:42 and then him putting the case half on without the cam in had me wondering wth was going on.
My father used to have a Volkswagen shop in the '70s and '80s called The Beetle Haus in Atlanta, ga. I learned how to do this engine rebuild when I was 13 years old and I also learned how to install the motor in the in the vehicle. It's really easy. My first car was a bug. And all of my friends started driving beetles because I had one at 16. Now even 30 years later they all drive German cars. Even their grandchildren.
you say, you are looking for more projects, i have many, two ghias 63 and 67, two buses 59 and 60 and a single cab 61, where are you located? i'd love to have someone like you to work on them, if you're near dallas, texas? chris deprez
You lucky guy. I'd love to spend a couple of days with VWDarrin. His videos have helped me build quite a few motors, he's a very clever guy. Soak it in dude.. Also, could you number up your vids in order? It's taken me ages to find them all in the correct order 😂 Keep up the good work mate 😁
Hey I saw you rebuilding that VW engine... it brought back memories. From the maternity my first ride was in a 1959 VW, 17 years later I learn to drive in the same all beat up and when I was about q0 years I swear, I knew how to put that engine back together. That was in Africa! I live here now and swear before my time, I am gonna buy me a VW...My dad had a 1957 Chevy I saw in uour picture!!! Memories!!!
This was so educational and Darren is a great teacher and made it fun to watch. I'm an inspired mechanic to be at 55 yrs.old and love working and repairing my cars. Now learning about air cooled engines and how they work. Love it and looking forward to 1 day build my own . I currently have 74 beetle and love it. Great TH-cam video
I owned a '69 in the early 70's.....I didn't know the valves needed to be adjusted until I burned an exhaust valve. But then learned how to do it....and still have the pro feeler guages.

Good job, but please use hose clamps on the fuel line. You don't want leakage of fuel and what else happening. Also there are double coated fuel lines available that wear less quicky. The fuel filter doesn't belong there in my humble opinion. Potential leakage of the fuel above the distributor is fatal.

He would enter 3 times and take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place other racers hated him the fans loved to watch him wheely through the mud pit.

where you can buy it

No oil on threads or under the bolt heads and nuts??? Clicker type torque wrench???😐
Hey CT, Darrin didn't do special with the crank before heating up the gears and putting installing them, did he? Other than cleaning it good correct.
it's possible but I don't think so...He may have polished everything with a super fine paper or scotch bright and he may have opened up the oil holes a bit to allow more flow. It's been so long I can't remember.
