Great job! I understand why it saves time to drop the engine rather than bend over the engine compartment. My uncle was the parts manager for our local VW dealer. He explained how the engines worked and why everything had to be done correctly. He said that the mechanics would get in a hurry and leave something off. He said that there aren't shortcuts, but they had to work smart. My father and uncle were always repairing their cars. Watching you, all those conversations make sense. It's amazing that I still remember all this from the early 70's. LOL
I'll comment now cuz I'm on my way to work... however, DuckmanCyles and VW Garage is the only channel that I will 'LIKE' without watching. I'll certainly watch right after my shift is done!!! Always great vids Duck!!!
Well truth be told it really isn't all that hard because it is an old Volkswagen. You won't likely catch me doing the same work on my 350Z, and even if I did it certainly wouldn't be done in two videos, lol!
The last couple vids have been on point! Great job, your cars look great and I’ll def remember the DF wire thing, maybe lol. Looks like this weekend I am finnaly gunna get my canvas too! A ‘67 beetle, beyond stoked. I’m sure I’ll be referencing your vids every time I turn a wrench on her!
DuckmanCycles and VW Garage no I commented b4, you probably don’t remember. I was the dude on the fence bout selling the idea of getting a old bug to my gf while living in an apartment still lol. Might have changed my you tube handle tho , it was just my name but decided to go with veedub914 instead.
the Motorcycle jack is brilliant it just needs a upgrade on those wheels for adjusting position on that terrain i don’t know about type 3 but years ago on Vw type 1 motors a found Grovery Cart or Buggy with the basket part cut off left with a rolling frame and handle basically made a perfect engine install and storage cart the motors sat on those old carts perfectly and myself and my VW buddies used to build our garage workbenches. so we could store the engines out of the way under the bottom shelves one time my best freind was riding with me and saw a grocery cart on the Shoulder of a very busy Highway inMiami he made me detour to go back and retrieve it ! i had a Jeep at the time without any roof and he somehow managed to flip that thing into my back seat and tie it in for the ride that cart became a long time fused over who owned it and we often borrowed it for engine swaps in our Beetles i’ve worked on them but never owned a Square back or Fast back yet but i do hope to one day mostly because they are becoming so more rare over time I really like the Wagons now with that Surfer / California style thing i’m a retired Woodworker by trade and i’ve been thinking about applying real Wood Paneling on one would be cool FYI i’m also a Wooden guy enthusiast and i love that Premium Yacht finish that i think would be cool on a Wagon
Yes! However, you'll need a 200mm flywheel to fit your clutch and pressure plate. After that it'll bolt straight in, but it'll be tight under the rear apron. Once it's in, you'll need to come up with a way to close your cooling fan, and attach it to the type 3 body with the original bellows. It'll run great after that! Good luck to you!
Just a suggestion on the cheese head tin screws if you use a 3/8 screwdriver instead of 1/4 inch one you get a lot less damage to the screws and you can loosen them and take them a lot easier. Love the videos keep them coming
After watching you use the lift, I went to Harbor Freight today and compared the two different ATV /Motorcycle lifts. Turns out they had the more expensive one in the “Open box” area. So the $179 version was marked down to $114. The manager said it was marked down two weeks ago. But then remembered that he forgot to re-scam it last week. He decided an even $100 was a good price, I agreed....
I bought an engine like this one alternator/generator top left. To replace my type one on my trike but everything is so different on it. Was trying to stab onto trans but seems like it doesn't want to go. Did I screw up buying this engine?
It should fit! I'm not sure what year your engine is, nor what year your transmission is. If you have some early/late combination you may have to hog out the bellbousing to fit the flywheel and make sure you're using the properly matched pressure plate and throwout bearing! More details please!
@@hambybryan1 I do not post it in print in the comments here because that's how spammers get it... I get enough spam. However, per the video, you can find all of my contacts on my website!
That runs sweet. I've been searching for an air leek in mine for ages. It turns out that one of the twin port headers had a heap of scratches on the face. Now mine runs sweet also.
This is my first type 3... I've had a lot of Beetles and Karmann Ghias over the years... but this is my first Fastback. At this point I think I've taken apart damn near everything except the transmission LOL... but I have had it removed!
So how could you tell the head was loose? It looks really clean now. I bet it will run better now. A tighter head will increase hp by 30 hp and the paint will be and extra 20 hp increase.
I kinda described it the previous video... it was noisy when it was cold from the head banging around. I actually captured in in the 19F cold start video some years ago... I'll talk more about this in a Q&A for ya!
The generator has been cleaned... "I could have" LoL! Did you get a really good look at it before I started? What I didn't do is paint it... and what you are looking at is natural finish and that's how it comes when you buy one.
Wow, at first I thought when you first went to put in the engine it wasn*t gonna clear when the one screw got bent, the engine looks awesome,& the parts you made awesome ,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Great Video Glenn. What did you use for paint on Ruby's engine case? When I finished cleaning my cases they were stained to crap. Just wondering. I like the new video format. You don't have a torque wrench either. LOL. Anyone who's watched you videos knows that you have a plethora of tools as well as a spanking puller. (I used plethora but feel free to swap with "fuck load") Enjoy!
Thank you Dan, everything went pretty good until the next day when I tried to shift it in reverse and discovered I had problems with my shifter... lol... I talked about it a little bit in today's Q&A video over on my other channel
Please... ditch the background music. I always enjoy your videos but the background on this one is distracting. Your content stands well enough on it's own.
Thank you so much! But I will have to disagree with you because a lot of people do complement the music... but that's why I run some of the video within some without so of course I can satisfy everybody. I appreciate your input, thank you for the compliment!
I've learned when people tell you how to do something you already know how to do and they are talking like an expert they usually don't know their ass from a hole in the ground
That's quite funny when I get welders that have never use flux core before, or car guys that have never worked on a Volkswagen before.... sure they are experts in their own right but they have never touched this stuff so they make fun of me when things don't work the way they expect them to LOL! So even experts can be dummies. Then of course there's the rest of the TH-cam world that has never done anything, and their TH-cam channels usually reflect that with no videos and 0 subscribers LOL! Thanks so much for the comment!

You busted ass on this project duck. Engine looks so proper sittting in its new home. Nice and happy. Totally THOROUGH WORK. Excellent work master!
Thank you so much! I took a lot of shortcuts... lol! But the result looks quite good! I'm satisfied!
nice edit & use of the multi cameras , sweet Fastback 👍
happy be-lated Birthday Skeeter !
Thank you so much, dude! Always good to see your name pop up!
Engine looks awesome, the painted tins really complete the look. Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
sounds real good,
Thanks Mustie! It'll sound even better when I get the valves adjusted in the morning! Stay tuned!
Bro good video..!! You always make it look so so simple..if i was carlos I'll b in your shop every day learning all i could..U R Da Man!!

But I would explain it, because I have no history with this new screen name of yours LOL! But thank you anyway for coming back of course!
It's amazing how simple it is to pull an air cooled VW engine. The hardest thing is finding jack stands and a jack that goes high enough.
Well that's one of the good things about the type 3, you don't have the jack up nearly as high! Thanks for the comment, Jay!
the Motorcycle jack is brilliant it just needs a upgrade on those wheels for adjusting position on that terrain i don’t know about type 3 but years ago on Vw type 1 motors a found Grovery Cart or Buggy with the basket part cut off left with a rolling frame and handle basically made a perfect engine install and storage cart the motors sat on those old carts perfectly and myself and my VW buddies used to build our garage workbenches. so we could store the engines out of the way under the bottom shelves one time my best freind was riding with me and saw a grocery cart on the Shoulder of a very busy Highway inMiami he made me detour to go back and retrieve it ! i had a Jeep at the time without any roof and he somehow managed to flip that thing into my back seat and tie it in for the ride that cart became a long time fused over who owned it and we often borrowed it for engine swaps in our Beetles i’ve worked on them but never owned a Square back or Fast back yet but i do hope to one day mostly because they are becoming so more rare over time I really like the Wagons now with that Surfer / California style thing i’m a retired Woodworker by trade and i’ve been thinking about applying real Wood Paneling on one would be cool FYI i’m also a Wooden guy enthusiast and i love that Premium Yacht finish that i think would be cool on a Wagon
Wheels are good, just use a piece of plywood if you have a problem! Hehe! Thanks for that story, man! I'll need to look for a shopping cart!
Hey, asking if a 411 flat engine will fit the Type 3 Fastback?
Yes! However, you'll need a 200mm flywheel to fit your clutch and pressure plate. After that it'll bolt straight in, but it'll be tight under the rear apron. Once it's in, you'll need to come up with a way to close your cooling fan, and attach it to the type 3 body with the original bellows. It'll run great after that! Good luck to you!

You are correct thank you very much!
Hey Duckman,
Any tips on installing the fan on the crank without moving and losing the woodruff key? I'm afraid I'll push it inside the case.
Thanks.
I've never moved the key, or pushed one out when installing the fan. Maybe don't worry and go for it! 🙂👍🏻🦆💩
Love the tins. Nice, simple and elegant. Would be sweet for Eleonore as well... IMO.
Thats kind of my thought, too! We'll see how that pans out! Paint shopping this week!
Always get battle wounds when working in VW’s lol
Keep up the good work!
Isn't that the truth? LoL! Lots of scars from turning wrenches... or even just getting in and out of an old VW hah
Have you ever thought about opening a vw repair shop? You really know your stuff on these engines and related repairs.
Yep! It could happen... just not enough money in it here, thats why the other shops closed down.
@@DuckmanCycles yep sad times

WINNNNNNNNNN! Good find!
Do they convert the generator to a alternator on Volkswagen fastback I have had a generator for a 50 ford converted before is the reason I had ask
I'm sure somebody can, but I'm working on one myself! There will be a video on that in the future!
DuckmanCycles and VW Garage thank you I have always found it interesting how they do the conversions and kept the housings from the generator
Thats half of what I'm doing, with parts from an off the shelf alternator. More on that soon!
I bought an engine like this one alternator/generator top left. To replace my type one on my trike but everything is so different on it. Was trying to stab onto trans but seems like it doesn't want to go. Did I screw up buying this engine?

She cleaned up nicely!!!
Thank you sir, I am quite pleased! She will be going to a car show this weekend, so I figured might as well do a little paint while I'm in there.
That runs sweet. I've been searching for an air leek in mine for ages. It turns out that one of the twin port headers had a heap of scratches on the face. Now mine runs sweet also.
Yep, that'll make some noise, heh! good find! Glad you got it fixed!
What about the thermostat?
No gots! Flaps arent necessary for air direction on Type 3 either! 😁
Nice looking clean engine!!
Thank you very much! Lots of compliments at the can show! SUCCESS!
The “can” show? What kind of shows do you go to?😂😂😂😂
Fart can shows!
I’ve never owned a Type3 but they sure are cool!
This is my first type 3... I've had a lot of Beetles and Karmann Ghias over the years... but this is my first Fastback. At this point I think I've taken apart damn near everything except the transmission LOL... but I have had it removed!
@@DuckmanCycles Congrats!! I wished I had one, hopefully one day!
What year is it?
This Fastback is a 1968
RUBY! Well Deserved Love for the Type 3
Yes sir! This was absolutely mandatory! Should be a good car for years to come!
Yep def what I’ve got 2nd time I’ve watched this as did watch when first posted . So engine out then . Ruby sounded and liked great 👍
Yeah man! Pull that engine out and get those heads torqued on properly! 😁👍🦆💩
like watching you work / thanks / good job / save them all
Much big thanks!
Tell em ratchets are for sissies! Your new camera is great! The close-ups are on point, my friend. Who Like To Party!
Rachet won't fit anyway, lol! Thanks so much!
So how could you tell the head was loose? It looks really clean now. I bet it will run better now. A tighter head will increase hp by 30 hp and the paint will be and extra 20 hp increase.

@@DuckmanCycles I will have to re watch the previous video.
Q&A featuring this question was uploaded today! :-)
looking good.... you could at least have cleaned the housing for the alternator though!! sort of spoils it after how hood the rest of it looks
The generator has been cleaned... "I could have" LoL! Did you get a really good look at it before I started? What I didn't do is paint it... and what you are looking at is natural finish and that's how it comes when you buy one.
@@DuckmanCycles ok... walks off sheepishly
Great video again Glen! Posibble for you to talk about this yellow jack in the next Q&A video?
Sure can! I'll see what I can do! Thanks!
Love that damn song. Stuck in my head all day at work.
LOL, don't tell me that shit. Imagine how bad it was for me when I was editing this thing for over three and a half hours....
Damn sorry to hear. Hate to say it to you but i love it. Gets me all excited
Stated as a viewers standpoint brah! Love that song!
Yeah I can't seem to get rid of that song, it's in my head pretty bad right now lol
oh fuck sorry to hear. I know what u mean for sure. Well it gives us some joy. Just remember that
liked the trick holding the screw with the 2nd screwdriver
Yeah, I had to pry that bottom tin to make the holes align, there was no way I could get my finger in there and shoot video at the same time lol!
I recently start watching you, love it keep up your nice video !
Thank you very very much!
if you have the sensor and the engine has a rep for getting too warm I would put in the gauge just a thought
I agree! In fact, all air cooled VWs should have a head temp gauge!
Good job, I also have a Fasty.
The music was just Ducky, thanks!
Thank you, sir!
Videos are a lot better this way, Great job start on second turn of key***
Thank you! I will stick with it for a while until it gets old like the previous format did lol!
Wow, at first I thought when you first went to put in the engine it wasn*t gonna clear when the one screw got bent, the engine looks awesome,& the parts you made awesome ,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

People around your area.
I do, but they aren't in the video.... although the screaming kid does make an audio appearance. LoL!
@@DuckmanCycles LOL on the idiot screaming around.
G'day Kevin from Australia. Engine came out looking good
but did you have your mic in the engine when putting the tins on.
😋😋😋😋🙉
No mic in the engine! Too noisy!
Damn that degreaser is badass if block came that clean
Well the block became clean enough to paint lol... I think the paint looks okay, it's a little brighter color that I wanted it to be.
Noo Bru, paint that tin,its the right thing to do! LOL, still love your vids.
That one comes out real easy, I may change my mind in the future... lol! Thanks so much!
Installed our engine's about the same time
AWESOME! How did you project turn out?
DuckmanCycles and VW Garage looks the part here in Australia. We took the engine back out to replace the main oil seal
In my book thatis a ton of work in two days, it does sound good; yes sir time for a happy dance...
