Thanks Darrin! we all appreciate you sharing your tremendous work here, and always look forward to your videos. Air cooled people are a special breed! 👊
Darrin been watcing your video for a long time and learn so many things . CT was in good hands with you building his motor, only thing better than that , he was able be there to watch the master build it and share the process. Thanks for taking the time to share your vw skill-set which in turn, helps all of us with vw our hobby. For a lot of us are vw's are members of our family that have names and just happen to sleep outside, ok my house does have a lot of vw parts enjoying the comforts of my house.
Thanks again. By the time I heal from shoulder surgery, having watched a myriad of your videos, I think I will be able to put together a pretty descent VW motor.
I'm learning all the things that were done wrong on my motor. One being the dual springs. I'm only running 4,000 RPM so I'm sure that double springs is overkill.
Hey Darrin! Can you speak about Weber DCNF carbs in an upcoming video? The good, the bad, your experience. Anything. I always watch your videos for how to's and reviews of products. I setup some solid shaft rockers and piston ring locations for this engine thanks to your videos and now want a little more power. I got a deal on some 40 DCNF carbs for my 1679cc engine. (I have played with Dellorto carbs in the past, but wanted to try something different) There is not much info out there about these carbs. I am sure you have come across them in your years of playing with VW's. Thanks! Keep the videos coming!
You are a valued resource, brother. Talking heads - just installed a cylinder head temperature sensor/gauge. How high do I let a stock 1600SP climb before I start panicking?
I'm so tired of fighting the el' cheapo VW valve spring compressor I've used for years. I just bought a spring compressor like yours...looks so easy! Like every video of yours, I've learned a lot. Thanks for uploading this! Are you going to do a video of how to match port the new intake manifolds for this engine? I'd like to see how you transfer the port from head to manifold, Dykem? Thanks!
@@ebalmes I saw it once in person when I helped the guy who built my 1835/1776 back in 1998. I remember a torch used on i believe a thrust washer... Been awhile
back in 1972 when i was in high school and worked in a auto machine shop, they did not use assembly lube (Not sure if it was available back then) . They used a 50/50 mix of STP and 30w oil. What your thougths on a 50/50 mix ???
Thanks for posting this Darrin. I'm just trying to resuscitate my daily driver bus SP. I see where EZGZ puts a steel washer under his valve springs to reduce the wear on the aluminum. Is that an issue? And my old heads have a small tin baffle on the valve tube side. I see you don't use those on your heads. SCAT says they don't make them and don't know of anyone that does. Mike F'n Garage says he uses them and that they are important to have is a stock build. Have you had issues not using them?
Darrin have you done a video in the past of the head work you did for these heads? I would like to get some idea of the cutters you are using in the grinder. Keep up the great vids!
Hey Darrin, HUGE fan and factory Toyota tech. Question?? I have 71 SB, 40 Kads, stock cam and crank, dual quiet packs, pertronix distributor, electric fuel pump, lightened flywheel, Scat 1.4 rockers, what's your opinion for single springs and Scat rockers? Thanks you, Ricky
Is there anything different to do when lapping in stainless valves? I have a new set of aa heads that are going on a pretty much stock 1679. And thanks for the channel..I'm still catching up on older vids. Loved the build with CT also
thanks for your videos on a fine day in may the 21sr . 2021, i mark it cause old age will fool you quicker then a fart LOL ,,,,mr darin how do i get your address so while i am riding my bug like i do everyday " thats why i dont work on it too much " cause i ride a lots of miles its our hobby me and the wife , i am in Inverness and lakeland is not to far i can pop in one day if its ok and have a chat and maybe talk about where to get parts that are good ,,,,and other things i cant mention here ,,,,,thanks a million
This dude knows what he is speaking very well. Good job.

Always the best information... all of these wonderful details I learned from your videos were used on my 2276cc, thanks brother!!

Awesome!!! I’m so happy your filming again! It’s like a treat when I see an update here!
Good stuff Darrin! Thanks for all the info you share with us! I for one really appreciate it!

Great to see you out in the shop again so soon.
Good information darrin thanks for teaching everyone LIGE

Good stuff Darrin 👍👍
Hi Darrin. All the best to you and the family.
You are a valued resource, brother. Talking heads - just installed a cylinder head temperature sensor/gauge. How high do I let a stock 1600SP climb before I start panicking?
Awesome information! Thanks again, Darrin
There’s your heads up for today. Excellent.
Great video man! 👍😎👍
Thank you CT , i was ready to stop makeing youTube videos , you change my mind thank you

I really hope your camera is working when you do the heating of the washer and what not for the final assembly of the crank , cam and case
Steve Madak I second that. I’ve only seen one sub par video on that process. I’d love to see darrin do it

good video, learnt lots of stuff. Could you use those 044 heads on a basically stock 1600?

Good overview and tips as always.
What cam are you going to use in this?
Looking forward to hearing it roar to life.
I thought i heard in another vid it was going to be a FK series cam 😎
VW RICH FLAT4 I also heard him say a few other choices as well. Will mostly depend on the customer probably.
@@VWJawbreaker ohh ok true. 👍👍

no special procedure for stainless , just be sure to clean the heads very good after you lap the valves in
Hi Darin what is your opinion regarding Auto adjuster Valves system
When you get to that point. Can you go in to detail on setting compression ratio and selecting the right shims to reach your goal?..
He mentioned it in the last video. He's using a .3 inch shim under the barrels. Think they said it was 7.2 to 1
@@stevemadak6255 thanks man.. I will look for that video..I'm building a 1915 for an airplane.. I need 8.1 on all four.. I can't mess this up..
A+
FWIW we can barely hear the dog :) Great video.
