Another great video big guy. Love all the jigs you have for the engines and transmissions. I think we all have ADD when it comes to our VW dubs. Love watching your videos for your stories. I have learned alot from your videos. Thank you again for all you do for our great car.
Amen on static tiing the motor. My very first build was almost 50 years ago. I static timed it, filled the float bowl on my Holley Bug Spray through the vent tube. It lit off after less than one turn of the crank. I broke in the cam at the required rpm for the required length of time. I used the same cam and lifters in other motors with no problems. The folks who don't static time the engines and prie the fuel systems. Bit it carbs ir FI make me cringe. Half the time I think its justbfor tRV or TH-cam drama flames and all. I never had the money to throw away good builds. Love your videos. Haven't touched a VW for decades, but enjoy watching.
Another great vid , learned some more from ya once again. Yea EZGZ ...VW aircooled used for years on Experimental aircraft. Flew one. My Dad a Bush Pilot for many years built two experimental aircraft with VW engines, one called a Super Pup (scaled down Piper J3) and a Teenie Two all aluminum single place. You hand start them with the propeller.
Seems like Volkwagen engines have been in your life from the start. I'm sure you could teach this old dog some engine tricks as well. I wish I had your shop space.
Another Great and informative video Buddy. It’s all those little details that you take care of that let you drive all over the place. Just made it home last night we are good. Take care my friend and see you soon. BigW:-)
Hello EZGZ, you really are a great specialist in Air engines, congratulations. I am learning a lot of important details from you. I have a buggy, but I modified the engine. Now it has a modern water-cooled engine. Best Regards from Brasil.
If your case does leak... I have had great luck with permatex external gasket sealer for cracks. Comes In a spray can online order from oreilys and is for low pressure leaks. My repair has lasted 2 years on a Cummins 12v timing gear cover..
put heat on the area you think the case is cracked and if it is cracked it will open rite up and then you know.. We built alot of cranks for great plains airplanes back in the day for 4 cyl motors. We also built a ton of the 2cyl. crankshafts and motors for leonard milholland plans. He sold the plans for the legal eagle ultra light planes check it out.
Gave you a little shout out so I hope you pick up some new subs. Love your channel and been over there when I have time. I had no idea how demanding having a girl friend can be. Take care and keep that camera rolling.
Hay EZ, loving your videos, its a great help on my 1776 build for my 66 split bus. I have an after market crank (69mm) what do i do with the grub screws in the new crank? Leave them in or pull them? are the they there for the relief of oil or holes left over from maching work? Thanks Dave (UK) 🇬🇧
Clean that preservative off the crank. Use gas or something strong, get a small brush maybe the brass rifle barrel brush from a 22 caliber gun cleaning kit for the oil passages. After it's all clean you put those plugs (grub screws) in the threaded holes with "Red Locktight Sealer" It should be obvious where to put them because the holes are threaded.
Hi Ezgz, thank you for again a great vid. Always wondering how you get the case, crank aso. that clean! One thing: my engine has def. only one shim under the distributor gear and I found it like that in some books like Haynes i.e. Björn
No, but it is to thick and squishes out inside the engine then comes loose and plugs up oil passages. Better have a stock oil screen in it that first start up and when you pull it out you find peaces everytime. I still get it from using it on my cylinders. Thats why I don't smear it. I just put a small bead in the corner.
Curious on how that engine held up? Im about to take out my 1300cc single port because it smokes i was thinking about making it a 1776cc dual port to play with so i can drive the car while i build a better more reliable motor with a new case, but in the mean time i want to build the motor on a budget
The engine is holding up fine and runs real smooth. Getting about 27MPG it's a good engine for stop and go in town but lacks power for higher speeds and passing which I not doing anyway.
@@TheEZGZ it sounds like you got what you wanted atleast for the fuel economy! do you think its ok to use my single port case for a 1776 if its in good shape? Im gonna get a as41 case eventually to build a bigger better motor but this will be the first time im building a motor myself so i dont want to spend much, i was thinking dual port stock heads, stock crank, 110 engle cam, straight cut gears and dual 40 idf carbs
a 110 cam is horrible unless you spend the money for dual carbs. Listen up tray. If it's your first build on a budget. hone the cylinders and buy new rings and bearings and build a stock 1300 that you have. Maybe get some new sp heads and put it back together with new oil pump and bearings. you will gain experience less likley to make mistakes and you will make more power than you have and feel the difference.
I think I would like to try a set but they are still kind of pricey and not many reviews that I have seen. You must keep in mind that oil goes threw the lifter to get to the top end of the rocker shaft and help cool the head. What have you heard about them? I'm guessing that if it was easy and reliable everyone would be making them and it would be a no brainer for everyone to have them. The magazine's would have right ups every month touting how great they were and of course competition would drive the price down. I'm just on the fence on this issue. On a stock cam zero clearance means more lift or on any cam for that matter. Not so sure how they would work on performance cam's. On the negative side you are adding weight to the valve train?????
@@TheEZGZ True. Always great info. I built one of frist german style super beetle's in Us when frist getting into beetle and bought a 74 super beetle at 13 and didn't realize the difference at the time. So I built 914 direct injected 2.2l turbo motor, with 911 disc brakes front/rear and adjustable struts front, and custom coil overs rear, and 901 transmission. Crazy money and super high maintenance.... just pick up a 68 from a friend that was in jam. So I really like your videos, getting back into it....would it be worth it to do a 1800cc ministorker single port? For 68 since I look more at reliability as possible daily driver in fl, and keep cost reseanable or just do top end rebuild with those thick wall 88mm AA pistions?
Hi Yes I have 2 VW engines in 2 airplanes. One is a 1/2 VW that is 1200cc. My full VW is 2400 cc. Scott Casler of Hummel Engines build my engines. So check him out and Hummel Aviation
Nice little plane that H5 . I've seen those before. I will stick to 4 on the ground and cussing at traffic. Thanks for checking me out. I have hundreds of VW info vids up. Enjoy
Rats after watching your video, I saw a homemade crank gear puller at an estate we cleared out and I threw it away because We had no clue what it was.... ughhhh
Thank you for sharing all your awesome knowledge.i wish you were my neighbor.
I'm finding I need more adult supervision. LOL

Thanks for your support. Sounds like you had some great times and solid built motors my friend.
I have watched most of your videos and they have been very helpful indeed, so I would like to say thank you very much from the UK 👍
Your very kind. I appreciate the support. Cheers!

Glad you made it home. I hope by the time you get this you have had the Baja out for a putt.
I did, too Lyn to get some Frozen Yogurt. Hope your week goes well, keep Bugg’n Brother.

Glad you like them!
So many variations of VW cases over the years. I used an aluminum case on my last engine build and was really happy with it.
I could just see you and the wife cruising around the Egyptian Pyramids being chased by the cops. hehehe
Nice one EZGZ. Looks like I’ll be replacing my thrust bearing once I’ve dropped the motor to see what damage an overnight clutch cable has done.😞
Thanks for all the detail.
Thanks for your comment and support John :-)
Great advice with putting the dizzy in first. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment and support
Great video man! Thanks for sharing!
Good video with some good tips.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
You can usually buy brake cleaner at ~50% off, by the case, any day. They sell at that price to shops, so just set-up a commercial account.
If your case does leak... I have had great luck with permatex external gasket sealer for cracks. Comes In a spray can online order from oreilys and is for low pressure leaks. My repair has lasted 2 years on a Cummins 12v timing gear cover..
Great video from 64vw of nj
When you don't like a part you seem to always have another one. Nice.
I'm always looking for the pick of the litter. hehehe
put heat on the area you think the case is cracked and if it is cracked it will open rite up and then you know.. We built alot of cranks for great plains airplanes back in the day for 4 cyl motors.

Nice work !!!
Those casting lines can be deceiving at times !!!

Hey EZ. You said not to use silicone on case halves, but use permatex. Does silicone break down over time?
No, but it is to thick and squishes out inside the engine then comes loose and plugs up oil passages. Better have a stock oil screen in it that first start up and when you pull it out you find peaces everytime. I still get it from using it on my cylinders. Thats why I don't smear it. I just put a small bead in the corner.
the aircraft engine company i think your refering to is called revmaster
www.sonexaircraft.com/
Thumbs up.
Thanks Stu, it was snowing here today. But it will be gone before yours I'm sure.
The only way I would trust a VW engine on a plane is Type 4
Ether way, I'm taking a parachute. LOL
Qual e virabrequim você está usando nesse motor ??

What do you think about mofco hydraulic lifter? Saying you will never have to do a valve adjustment again?
I think I would like to try a set but they are still kind of pricey and not many reviews that I have seen. You must keep in mind that oil goes threw the lifter to get to the top end of the rocker shaft and help cool the head. What have you heard about them?

Nope! Just build a 1776 and get the same results with less work and maybe a engle 90 cam and life is Good . :-)
👍
