Great video brother, thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement!
This brother is awesome I haven’t worked on bugs for 30 years this is a awesome refresher course ! I wish I had him 30 years ago I m 55 I worked on bugs at 14 years old ! Remember bug me videos back day on vhs times have changed k ow these bugs are not cheap I sold Vw oval for$500 back day !
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Things sure have changed since the old days. This isn’t a cheap hobby anymore!!
Bought my first vw 5 months ago and found some of my grandpas manuals. He had the same ones as you… awesome
Have fun! It’s a learning process!
Great explanation of the process, Thanks!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful!
I have owned 12 VW Beetles and one VW Thing over the years since 1964. The local VW dealer (Snider Motors in Knoxville Tn) in the mid 1960s charged $2.50 to adjust the valves, Yes two dollars and fifty cents + tax. I still have three of these cars. The best of them being a 1959 1 owner, all original 3 owner car.
Good story. Thanks for sharing!
Working on my wifes 73' 181 right now in Nashville! Small world. Earliest we've got is a 63' bug. Now you lucky if you can find a GOOD VW guy that can get you in the shop in under 6 months.
Super helpful bro ty
Thanks for watching!
👍 Great info.
Thank you very much!
very helpful
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
Great video, my cylinder #2 intake and exhaust springs touch the rocker arms. There for I can not adjust them. Is this what you mean when people don't use harden seats?
THX!
Thank you for watching!
What kind of lobe separation does this engine have?
I have been adjusting my bus to 8 instead of 6 for the past 50 years. Found that doesn't burn the valves as much
If anything, leave the intake at 6 and run the exhaust at 8. There was actually a short time when VW recommended that. The intakes rarely burn because they run much cooler than the exhaust side. If you break down a lot of heads you’ll see pitting on the exhaust valve stems but not much of anything on the intake side
🤘🏼
What grade of oil are you using?
Hi there. I have a complete video detailing what grades of oil can be used in the aircooled vw. You may want to check it out! In this engine I have been running 15w40 with the adequate zinc
What about pre-66?
The book says from 54-59 on 36hp engines its .004 and 40 horse as .008 intake and .012 exhaust if with the long stud heads, but later VW service bulletins had technicians run .006 on all.
What if I have a 1.7 411
.006 on the intake and .008 on the exhaust if it has the sodium exhaust valves. That’s according to the Official Volkswagen Bentley Manual
The process is essentially the same
What is the symptom of a burned valves? Loss of compression in the cylinder?
I’ve lost compression in cylinder 3 and I’ve been told it’s likely to be burned valves.
Thanks.
Check the adjustment on that cylinder and do a compression test. Wide open throttle cold. Then let it run and test it again hot. Start there. Let me know what the numbers are.
@@MaineMachinist will do, thanks!
i hate when people tell there life story i was not looking =for thaty just vaulves i will find another video
Would it not have been faster to search the next video rather than leave your comment? :-)
Too long
This is an exhaustive guide. Not intended to be a short.
You call it a complete guide, but you already have the valve covers removed.
My bug is sitting in the garage with the engine mounted and all components installed, ready to turn the key and go.
This is not a complete nor exhaustive guide...
Do I need to show how to turn the engine off also? Or how to locate the engine?
Come on now
Very helpful passive aggressive reply.
Good job.
@@KodakYarr I’m assuming you did locate it, then. Correct?
Google search How to keep your Volkswagen alive. A manual step by step for the complete Idiot 😂 Might suit you, as long as you can read a manual im assuming. In all honesty, you can’t get a more straight forward video than this one.
He said it was a complete guide.. not an idiots guide!! 😅😂 bro chill and enjoy the knowledge 👍🏼
