what no mice?
no , just fire ants :)
Only up here in New England ;)
We don’t have mice problems down here ... just little lizards!
What a privilege to see two great videos within the last couple of weeks from Darin and Mustie, on how to bring back to life the old VW engines. Defo the TH-cam VW engine dream team.
Couldn't agree more!!!
Best engine ever. These engines had amazing fuel economy and when modified there were only a few that could beat them.
The 1600 cc engine?
Adventure ! with expert , fun loving tour guides . Free ! all week .
I think I see a new challenge forming : " Worst abandoned Vw Engine on TH-cam "
I really need to start filming! I have a couple that would qualify for the challenge
@@muzzcovw7674 Do it 👍
@@5150mxVW I need to come down so we can do a will it run on your '77!
I really enjoy watching videos like this I really want a beetle one day one day .....
Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.
Darrin, you need a small sturdy table for doing things like this. It'll save your back and knees.
ETA: only took 40 minutes
I like that flywheel gland nut tool.
One of the best real time tear down vids. Looks a lot like all the projects I get myself into. Looking forward to the rebuild!
I am eagerly going to watch this progress. I'm kind of shocked you mentioned so much was worth salvaging. Every motor I've bought with water/moisture issues, that disassembled far easier than this.ended up having so much of the case at the sump being eaten away that I just disposed of it all.
That’s a job I would like to do. Think I would rather have the engine on a bench.
God how I loved my old beetles back in the day. I threw a rod going over the Grapevine outside LA on New Years Eve, 1969. Managed to nurse it a few more miles to a restaurant parking lot. Tore it down before dawn, hitchhiked into town for parts, then came back and put it back together. Slept like a log that night. Next morning I was back on the road. Life and cars were simpler back then.

Have no fear VW Darrin will make it run!
Did my 36 hp in the kitchen 1974. New wife from nice upbringing handled it ok.
Uncle Adolph wouldn’t be proud of this build
Thank God I worked on these engines in the 60's when there wasn't so much corrosion!!!!
Looked good to me was surprised the water didn't eat away at the magnesium around the oil sump
I would love to see a step by step budget rebuild. love your videos!
This was an awesome video. Cant wait for part 2!
I swear this has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouts to the guy pulling engine apart absolute legend #mrdontplay😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of love from England 🏴 🇬🇧
Wow great to see you back in action. I know you will have it running in no time u the Man!!!!
Love it! Darrin and CT in da house!!
I've brought home old cases like that before and often the bottom is rotted out around the oil sump. Best way to store them is upside down.
Can’t wait to see it run.
Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming
It's a single port so it can't be 1600.Check with the letter before the engine number,that will tell you which engine this is.
I watch multiple VW shop video producers channels. I have to say there are several times I wish I could spend a week working with them learning how to wrench VW's, especially the engines. Being a former aircraft mechanic I figure I could catch on.
The neighbors have got to love this guy!
Cool.. good to see you
Couldn't live without my torque multipliers. Best tools ever!
That's a keeper!!!
I appreciate this video.. I just bought a beetle last month and i bought a parts car to start a bigger engine build.. i subbed
that cool optimistic attitude.
I can always tell an experienced mechanic by condition of his tools and conditions of his forearms they look like mine after forty plus years of turning wrenches, never doubt that he can rebuild this four banger!
Looks like a runner to me!
THE SWAMP ROACH CHALLENGE!
Accepted.
Great fun!
"I need a hammer" truer words were never sproken lol
I cant wait to see the internals
At 4:00 what a great tool!!
Automatic sticks have an extra oil pump for the converter.
That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share
To build a motor from an engine would be a miracle !
Great JOB !
I was surprised there wasn't more case erosion
Can't wait to see this run a testimate to Darrin and VW engineering ;-) 👊👊👊👊👊 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great video
Darrin!!!!
The vac port is for brake servo. I’m guessing ‘71 bus. Probably NOT automatic or auto stick.
Bonjour de France
Une super équipe le mécanicien et son collègue et CT à une prochaine vidéo pour le remontage du
moteur (attention pour le nettoyage éviter les solvants )
Darin reminds of the sad clown painting when he has his hat off😅
Should be fun!
Hey good to see you, hope you guys are doing well, 👍😁👍
Doing good next time you’re in this neck of the woods stop by I have hubcaps for you
really entertaining working on extreme rust
Cool AF 👌🏻
This give me hope.
Eeh my dear friend,we have things we call work benchs.Yu should consider investing in one.
is there a part 2? Love it! :)
Really need to put your glasses on !!!
I had a '71 S.P. 1600 in my bug, but it had the later style oil cooler off the back of the blower housing (unlike this one).🤔
Good day Darrin. Great video. I have a 1600 VW and it’s leaking oil from the pulley and as far as I know they don’t have and gasket. And ideas to help me. And I have an single port, I thing it’s a 1600. Wanted to know if I could change the heads to a dual port. Tks.
nice.
Interesting..
👍 👍 👍!!!
....NOSS MOTOR
DETONADO SERR QUE TEM VIDA PRA RODAR....BRASIL
What a fun video. Hehe
Where did you get that flywheel tool? That's badass
👍
You can buy 40 screws for a 9 bucks that's what I did what a big difference throw them old ones away the new ones are awesome
Try using PB blaster it works on rusty seized bolts much better than wd40.
It's definitely not a 40 Hp, the manifold tells U that. The crank was updated the last rebuild to the "X" drilled crank. Probably an "F" or early "h" case. Most likely a 1600.
Looking forward to part 2
I thought it would be much worse I cant beleive it came apart
Talk about doing it the hard way Christ in no penetrating oil no heat man
Just rewatching this one Darrin because I have an old one, I will be playing with soon. What ever happened to part 2 of this one or did you ever do one? I looked but didn't see it?
ya oughta show that one to Mustie1
Kano Aerokroil!
I put a screw driver through the sump on the last swamp engine I built.

Carrrrrusty !
At best that is a 1500 engine. The 1600 engine had dual port heads and the offset aluminum oil cooler.
The 1500 was a good engine that ran forever and was very durable. The 1600 dual port engine was the worst engine that Volkswagen ever made, and had reliability issues. The 1600 dual port engine was prone to have valves that would get sucked down I to the crankcase. My mother had both in two VW's. Her 1500 ran for 27 years, and was still going when she sold it. Her 1600 dual port was gone in 10 years, and she had to replace the engine three times.
@@ericknoblauch9195 There was no problem with the dual port 1600 engine itself. The problem was that the EPA called for tighter pollution standards in the years it was in service. The only way VW could meet those specs was to run the engine very lean. Since the oil cooler was more than 1/3 larger than that on the 1500 engine, it added more heat to that cylinder. I can't remember the cylinder number, but it was the drivers side front cylinder. Even the larger cooling fan and larger cooling shroud could not compensate for the increased temperatures from running the engine so lean.
I rebuilt air cooled VW engines when I had my garage, and ran them my self on the street and as dune buggies. My favorite engine was the dual port 1600 with a high lift cam and a big bore kit, along with a 2bbl Solex carb. The engine would rev to 6500 rpm with zero problem and never dropped a valve seat because it wasn't run dead lean.
The 1600 had a vastly improved oiling system over the 1500 and all smaller CC engines, along with stronger connecting rods, a better oil cooler and a vastly improved crankshaft.
Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated
Put it on stand nd don’t make it look so hrd
40 whole squirrels is all
What part of Florida you in needing to rebuild one in Orlando here
Should go again. A bit of heat and lube and those head studs will be out. stop scraping the fins around on the concrete. Poor thing 😂
I thought the vacuum was for the brakes.
I think rust living in those valve covers

I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966
Love the Comments and the Jokes when i was a Teenager i played around with and had a few AirCooled VWs a good job in our small town for many of my Gearhead Buddies was working at our local AutoParts store we used to wait for one of the guys we knew fromHigh School to state working at the Auto parts store for their training we would call the place to hopefully get him on the phone at the parts Counter and our Prank was to get the price on a Radiator for a 1970 VolkswagenBeetle or Bus etc back then we didn’t really have Computers and the Parts Stores had lots of Vatalogs you could hear the parts guy flipping through as he couldn’t find the Radiator prices the guy would Cone back on the phone with some frustration and questions
Looks like you’ve done this once or twice before
Is there a part 2?
Are you in florida Darrin
install that Engine in Crusty
Hahaha Stop the doubting CT, you're forgetting who you're messing with. Lookin forward to seeing it run in a week Darrin, don't let us down. lol
Ive seen them so bad that front pulley is disentegrating from the rust
that head gasket joke got me like wtf is he talking about 😂
