40 Years Later, Busted VW Bus Engine. Will It Run?

- friend of mine bought this 1969 vw bus but did not want the removed engine on the ground. so l grabbed it. lets see what it will take to get it running or why it failed forcing its removal from the bus. check out 5150mxvw video on the bus itself here, • FREE ABANDONED VW BUS ...
Thought that was supposed to be an Internal combustion engine - all I can see is External combustion...
It definitely combusted inside.
And if you think internal combustion needs to be internal.
Look into anti lag.
And notice Mustie didn't have a fire extinguisher nearby, lucky human breath can put out fires. That engine's fly is down and she's losing oil. Cough, but hmm, she's losing rust too, never a good sign. Pull on your head, powder drops, ohhhhh, most certainly not a good sign.
Lol. Good point. When say that though, all I can picture is that spacecraft propulsion concept that consists of dropping nuclear bombs out the back and using the explosion to push it forward 😲.
@@devilselbow i thought his message was joke too buddy
Too much firewater.
Friends don't tell friends they found a note under the tarp " Dropped #1 valve " 😂....edit , I kid , I kid
Haha, Mustie wouldn't have cleared the scrap for you if you'd told him that bit of info ;)
So now you tell us
@@Jim_M_75 he would have still taken it!
@@dans_Learning_Curve Indeed he would haha. VW bus engine with dropped valve, will it run ?
@RogerWilco99 We know, @5150mxVW is "that guy" who Mustie got the engine off.
why wasn't there more of a fuss about the ford in the shed?!! I wanted to see it!
Not their flavor, maybe too high asking price? I mean, i love cars, but i don't dip in every pot. I've seen and passed some cool cars looking for bits or donors for my Mercs.
When you mess with old cars you usually want to stay with one brand. I have broken that rule a few times but it just creates a headache when trying to collect and store parts.
@@nicostenfors5690 True, VGG goes for ALL the Flavors of cars, gotta wait a bunch of the time to get parts as one man can't collect parts for each engine each chassis ect. Hard to pick though, older cars all have special cars that most of us love and it's just what you can affford ig uess. An old VW bus seems cool, not my dream car exactly, but cool to own.
I'd like to have that 36 Ford!!!!
@@jamesmann1243 same here
So, when you going back for the '35 Ford Vicky?
Seems like a Mustie project, but then again, no. Not his style, am I right? But my vote is YES.
You don't see those every day.
These are my favorite videos of yours, the worse the motor the better
Jason is a very cool guy!
agreed :D
I actually think this one is worse than the engine that was in pickle! 😜 and THAT is saying something!!!
@@marcijunebug The whole lot needs to be scrapped.
Never been a VW guy or even laid a wrench on one, but I could probably rebuild one blindfolded after I subscribed to this channel
You are so right! Unfortunately my Golf is nothing like these beauties
Totally agree, seen Mustie work on so many now it shouldn't be an issue rebuilding one
Yep TH-cam certified 😉😂
Strangely enough, I never laid a wrench to one eather. I did work on a rotary engine on an Artic Cat snowmobile. That was one weird engine. All the seals were bad so it wouldn't run. I scrapped it.
@paul beenis I understood it to mean rotor tip seals - if they're unavailable or very expensive, you've got an engine with low compression that burns oil that's impossible or uneconomical to repair, hence scrap.
Everytime you hit that start button the engine is like "Just let me die" and you're like "not today" and you hit the start button again.
😅👍
🤣
yeah you can hear it moan and groan like an old man getting off the couch.
Screw the bus! I want that car!!!!!
Same here. I wonder how it passed Mustie's eyes
It didn’t, it’ll show up in a video in the future! :)
@@shakyhandpictures2185 .. lol i was thinking that as well
@@shakyhandpictures2185 Let's hope for it 😀
its a beautiful old girl, but that kind of car is not in Mustie 1's groove. he has that Ford Econoline sitting on the jackstands for a year now with no hint it will be touched again any time soon. Mustie is a VW and small engine guy. that old Ford probably has a large inline 6 which parts for it will be very very scarce. Mustie1 doesnt have a parts bin for it.
Mustie for crying out loud can’t a mouse get any sleep in here.
yay! Just like Friday Nights in the 80s I waited till 8pm for Knightrider!! Now I wait for Sundays 6am Central for a Mustie Video! Good Morning/Evening to all got my coffee and a sweetroll I'm all set
12 noon here.
@@k1ckyscotland988 thats cool!
I am like 12 hours later in Jakarta, mostly enjoying dinner or already my evening coffee.
And Dukes of Hazzard A Team
@@Leroys_Stuffyep I needed a DVR back then lol
The old-timer in the shed behind the engine was what should have been taken home for closer inspection 😉
What was that? I feel that Darren would have more interesting content with that.
@paul beenis Erik's statement was ok, but there is so many car / garage finds now it's kinda annoying. just my opinion.
@@metoon3092 I don’t mind the garage/barn find videos as long as they become completed projects. The endless find videos with no conclusion to them do not interest me; I don’t watch them.
@paul beenisHey Paul, Genuine answer, I actually watched the whole episode and Mustie1 was as always entertaining and ind good spirit.
My comment was wishful thinking, in my (humble) opinion the old-timer would have been a scoop on this channel, nothing more than that🙂
@paul beenis if you were there would be a "@Hugh Evans" 🙂
He and all of us know that Mustie will get it running.
Mustie grinning and laughing as fire comes out of the motor. His good humor and enjoyment is contagious.
@@onemat2000
😄
I second that..
FYI with the engine out I loosen the spark plugs a hair then spray some lube around them. tighten them back up, work them in and out a bit to get the lube on the threads Then they come out without the aluminum on the threads.
you can torch blast the plugs also, the steel will expand and help bust up the corrosion bond, you sure wont hurt the dense aluminum that transfers heat far faster than steel.
thermal cycle them 3 or 4 times each and wrap on them with a hammer and steel tube/socket that's just larger than porcelain yet smaller than overall plug body. yeah you'll probbaly break the plug porcelain, but i'd rather break that than pull all the aluminum threads :)
and yes by all means, just tweak them a bit and add magic spray and gently tweak back and forth while it works in.
Nothing wrong with 2 hour videos. More of them, please.
i'm with this, might as well throw some 4 hour video's in to mix it up a little!
I too was ready, willing and able.
3hrs to all day would be good. 😁👍🏻 but super happy Mustie does any videos at all. I am grateful for all his videos coz I can't do it much anymore.. age , disabilities etc. oh and I live in cold England.
Agreed. Count me as another who doesn’t mind the long run times. They’re always entertaining and educational. No filler or gimmicky junk seems to ever find its way in which is great.
this is better than reality shows on TV. Nothing beats this..
Thats a cool old car. Should do a will it run on it.
@5150mxVW got a video loading it on a trailer. Hopefully he will do a revival on it soon.
@@andersjlsum3928 I suspect Marc might have been talking about the one in the garage next to the engine, not the bus.
@@Ragnar8504 Yes sir.
"Hey Guys!" I look forward to hearing that on Sunday.
And before someone asks a stupid question I'll answer yes it's absolutely supposed to shoot flames out of every nook and cranny that's how you know it's good 👍
I thought it was doing that to boost the ratings of the video!
Safety third!
I have to say: glad you lost the mutton chops, makes you look 20 years younger! (and not 80 yrs out of style lol)
My guess is this would make a passable boat anchor!
🎶 "TAKE ME TO THE RIVER!" 🐟
You should do a WIR on the '35 Ford.
Collab with VVG
@@4himsanctified Now that's a dream collaboration right there
Mustie and VGG would be the best video ever!!!
@RogerWilco99 Base Ford model 48 in '35 has horizontal strapping in the grill whereas the base model 48 in '36 does not. However, some of the '36 had '35 style grill (factory leftovers?) and, since either grill would fit in either model year later restorations can be seen using the "wrong" grill.
DAMN another 50k subs for 5150mxvw I WILL NEVER CATCH HIM.....UGGGG
Your videos are great also. Keep making them. 👍
@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle thanks I will. lets keep going. ha ha. these are my buddies. We all have fun. 5150, mustie, CT,
stop working on RUST FREE 🤣 Cali Vw's , you'll get more subs
Well, it DID "run".
Love them VW s.
Looking forward to part 2 (and 3, and...).
Thanks, and Woof to Lilly.
Usually, he takes the valve covers off much earlier...lol...😀🇬🇧
"Volkswagen Parts Company, how may I help you?"
"Yeah, hi, I'd like to order another gross of starters, please"
"Will it run?" seems to be the wrong question. "Is it worth my time to make it run?" seems more accurate.
Friday was Dukes for me!
And we say yes it is
Jim.
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
When I was 17 I got a beetle with a comparable engine.
A $300 of pistons cylinders and some seals and it was my only car for many years.
Moved me from Virginia to Nashville,
To Ohio.
And amazingly all the way to Atlanta Georgia.
Never was towed.
Never let me down.
Always got me where I wanted to go.
And when I scrapped the car from dangerous rust.
The engine went into a dune buggy and eventbough the main bearings could be wiggled by hand.
I used to take it to the drag strip and launch it so hard it ripped the transmission mount free and smashed the trans against the floor.
Oh ya and I still drove it home.
Old machines are not the same as the plastic junk ppl own now a days.
@@fastinradfordable I was more commenting on the fact that Mustie seems to be able to make anything run if he deems it worth his time and expense.
@Jay Rawson Will you come back for part 2? Also yes. lol
I also use the wifes' toothbrush for those little jobs around the shop.I found that if I'm out there working early enough I can get it back in the bathroom before she notices.
Yeah. Wifes tooth brushes are multi purpose. I use hers to scrub my razor after I shave and put it back in her cup holder.
I'm a coward .. i buy about a dozen asda smartprice ones
someone once told me they used my toothbrush to scrub a toilet, it didn't turn out well for them at the hospital having a puncture wound stabbed into them from the toothbrush handle ;)
Mustie 1 the man that can bring the dead back to life that's a cool car Jason has would look good restored 👍🔧🔧🔧👌
Mustie is part of my Sunday routine. I have four motorcycles in my garage right now because of him. All four are now running because of him as well.
RogerWilco99 don’t like VW engines either but they are growing on me. Bet I could fix one now that I’ve seen it done like 20 times. Lol
Mustie has great car-buddies, no used car salesmen on this channel. Does this other guy have a YT channel ?
Yes, 5150mx is his channel.
I like the car in the barn.
When fitting spark plugs to an aluminium cylinder head a high temperature anti-sieze grease must be used on the spark plug threads. This will prevent damage to the cylinder head threads when removing the spark plugs. It must be applied carefully, as the grease contains graphite and will affect the performance of the spark plugs if it contacts the electrodes. That's how we do it on aircraft piston engines anyway.
A little Teflon tape works good too
@@kellysteele8878 Unfortunately the use of Teflon tape is as far as I know, not approved by the CAA. It's ok on cars though.
A lot of spark plug manufacturers specifically advise against this. They claim the plating on their plugs does the same job, but without the risk of overtorque that any thread lubricant can bring about.
I was cringing watching him take those out
@@LN997-i8x That plating wears off eventually after many services. Better to be safe than have an expensive repair.
Check out Dr. Frankenwagen over here still bringin' stuff back to life, even if only for a few seconds. Another fun video. Thanks!!
The engine is literally non existent
But still wants to go
"high quality" German engineering mate! 😂
@@CitizenTechTalk 😂
So it`s a mirage.. ?
Indeed, compared to the TFSI or TSI engines nowdays and one little failiure and it won't run at all and needs new motor xD
@@volvofreak86 so true, old is gold
1 working cylinder, sounds about right for those engines 😂 she's fine mate just chuck her in and go for a drive! 😂
As us Aussie's say "she'll be right mate, just give her the guts and she'll come good in no time at all on the freeway" 😉 (Regards, your local bush mechanic). All the while thinking of the tow truck fees and rural labour and parts cost bill when he gets it back to the workshop 😂.
How many Kangaroo's would you say that engine has in her? With only 1-cylinder firing at 50%, and the rest of the engine dead, I'd say she's down to 1 kangaroo.
@@stellarproductions8888 almost spot on. 1 Kangaroo and a Rock Wallaby (smaller breed that like its name hangs around rocky crags and cliffs, we call them torque converters 👍 because jeez they get up and go when yah shoot at em 😂)
Also I reckon those engines have bilby nuts as well. We'll they at least look like bilbys nuts 😆 (small Australian native rodent, looks like a tiny kangaroo but it's a native mouse with long tail with a hairy tuft on the end to scare off predators)
And I'm sure they have dingo drive as part of the transmission too, once they get up to speed it's almost impossible to stop em! 😆 Dingo's wind up slow and slow down slow when running at yah to eat yah 😂, by the way that's true, Dingos eat people in Australia if given the chance they're our version of the wolf. Evil buggers!
I like this friend that gave you the engine. He knows your magic engine whisperer powers. Mustie the engine bender.
Jason is a cool guy!
He has a channel, also, with engine and car shenanigans. 5150mxVW worth a sub.
@@aserta oooh. thanks.
And his son Josh is a hoot! Great kid. And let’s not forget his long suffering wife Jen.....
This fellow was extremely funny about the prospects of this rusty engine.
Don't toss the belt. It's number matching for sure. Barrett Jackson is going to dock you hard.
Lol no kidding
Theres a formula to figure belt size
Bhahahahahaha
From the looks of it, those plugs were probably installed on the same day.
@Iron *Fe* - Can't fool me... maybe last night, but not yesterday! 😜
Come on home with Daddy...everthing is going to be alright.
😅😅
Narrator: It wasn't going to be alright.
I love these videos.
"You DON'T want to snap these off..." (grabs 1/2 inch breaker bar)
I’m not a VW expert but I’d advise backing a stiff plug out half a turn, spraying lube on the threads.Then run the plug in and out, adding a half turn out. Then more lube, in and out - adding a half turn out each time until it is removed. That way, the threads may survive a little better. Do you have a linky for those slick little screw holder do-hickeys?
I love how musties always either laughing or smiling, cracking jokes, it’s like he’s always positive, makes me feel happy too, keep up the great work man, love the vids!
Well said
Oh man, so true! Nothing gets Mustie down. That's probably the most valuable thing I've learned from watching him. He never gets upset, no matter what obstacle pops up. How many times have I gotten so frustrated that I just gave up? Too many! Mustie is one hell of a mechanic.

You know the old saying, "Find a job that you love doing, and you'll never work another day in your life?".
He sees everything like an adventure.... it is broken anyways so you can't make it more broken that it is already
Looks like me after Taco Tuesday. Fire out of all the holes.
That car in that barn would be a great wrenching project video for mustie, I'd love to see that come back to life also
What does “M1571” stencilled on the fan shroud refer to?
Volkswagen didn’t put that there...
vw code for a bus engine,
@@mustie1 THANK YOU
Factory mark.
I thought it was Mustie1 571st engine.
Mustie "without further ado""
Me looking at that engine: "without further adon't" "Better you then me"
My OCD was killing me when he dropped the anti-seize toothbrush on the table next to the bottle 😬😬
🥳🥳🥳👏
The quickest fighter puzzlingly pinch because boat selectively gather versus a smart fired. naive, two multi-hop
Poor engine looks really rough, but I’m sure you got it running. Can’t beat a free unit lol.
Not only was it free, it was free (it wasn't seized.) :-D
I can smell this one through the screen
I must admit, if you made 4hr videos I’d still watch! I think most of us mustie1 fans would agree! If you feel you need to break videos up, ok by me! If you choose not to break videos up, ok by me!
Breakfast, coffee and a “Hey guys!” is a perfect way to start a Sunday morning!
THANK YOU...for sharing. I am ok with the two-hour video.
Well, how did that Vanagoon you brought on a rollback shake out? Did you replace the Hall Sender?
I am sure we have not seen the last of it
@@BILLY-px3hw Who's Billy?
What happened to your buddy (5150mx VW)? He hasn't posted anything in a really long time.
Ha! I said to myself mustie should drop a video any minute...... video drops on queue
Lucky guy! You don't even know, if some valve is not stuck and you just crank it... Attaboy...
To me that engine wants to live she's still got gusto given those Mustie One luv Taps show's she's a keeper!!!; ) The Flame's was a Plus!!!; )
To many unfinished projects! I miss thee little garage! Unsubscribed
Nice cup of tea and a Mustie video just before bed here in Adelaide, Australia. Better than bedtime reading.
I bought a '65 VW bug in Adelaide in '88. I was travelling around Aus, with a mate and we got tired of hitchhiking (Sydney to Adelaide). We were headed to Perth for Xmas, We put 14,000 miles on that bug in about 11 weeks. Paid $700 for it and then sold it to another canadian in Brisbane for $700. That little car showed us your fabulous country
Mustie must form a chapter in Adelaide, from Paradise this way :)
Hi Daryl, yes, totally agree, from Prospect this way.
I'm only 3 minutes in but man you guys put your hands under things left in a barn without a care in the world! Here in Australia you'd roll that over, run and wait for all the things that are going to kill you to slide away!
Can't wait to see the inside. May be able to bring it back. I guess we will see.
Why don't you spray some PB Blaster on them spark plugs before wrench them?
Laughed at the chuckles you get when some old motor starts for the 1st time in years.
WILL IT RUN??.....or...... WILL IT THROUH FLAMES.......YES
That old ford would be a nice grab if it was for sale
I hear a lot of: "I need another hand". I'm kind of surprised you haven't switched to using more foot controlled things where you can. Like, a foot pedal switch to run your starter would free up a hand for you.
Ahhh, my Sunday morning treat! Thanks for sharing!
Mustie is like the Bob Ross of repair. Lets put a little oil down there . This is a good place for a tie wrap. Lol
I cannot express the happiness, laughs, knowledge and understanding that I’ve learned from watching your channel. Thanks so much and please don’t ever stop.
OOOOH...that Ford looks pretty complete....
After watching to the end Jay should be satisfied that he didn't lose out on a solid engine.
Thanks jerkoff. Your the guy that says "oh he doesn't die till the end" in the movie theater.
soy amante de las restauraciones pero en este video fue de mucho hablar y poco hacer
I've been following you for a year on your Channel watch most of your episodes where did you get your mechanical experience I know you worked in the Machine Shop but on automotive and small engines can you answer that for me thank you
I wanna say he worked for a VW dealer in his teens? If I can remember right?
@@thirdcoast7259 .. yeah I'm sure Mustie said he worked in a VW dealer a long time ago
Preteen self taught wrench monkey started with a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and a hammer. lol
67 only twin snout air cleaner ? Or was that just on the bug...
5150mxvw in the house! 👍😎👍
😎
I enjoy watching your video till the end🤣🙏🏻
"Well there's your problem"... Life is now complete!
Well..... it's worth more than you paid for it, lol.
i can watch mustie restoring vw boxer engines for the rest of my life.. its so relaxing!
Starting to look like doc brown from back to the future with that hair! 😂 you’re like a mad scientist as well to be fair! 👨🔬 another quality watch as always. Thanks for sharing
Ben 🇬🇧
Here’s a tale about my old friend Mustie,
He only likes them if they’re old and rusty
He takes them to his shop just to have a little fun,
Listen to him laugh when they start up and run.
Mustie's mutton chops are gone.😲 I love the VW engine videos. They are tough little engines that can be neglected and still run.
We just have to see this thing run! Looking forward to the next episode for the tear down, and then hopefully a reassembly.
love to watch and listen to you analyze and decide....
They was a pile of crap when new.
That starter though!
I WANT WHATS BEHIND THE ENGINE!!!
The way you explained the starter install reminded me of the much beloved and lately much maligned Dr. Seuss.
Nah, more like the cadence of "The House That Jack Built."
That old Ford is killer. The bus motor looks a little worse for wear but it is complete; including thermostat flaps. Mustie will make it run; in the remote possibility it won’t many of those parts can be saved, refurbished and reused.
This is technically known in the trade as a hopeless case.
For a customer, yes lol. For Mustie and his car....good enough
Surprising what you can do with leverage, in all forms.
Your patience for this stuff is amazing. Can’t wait to see where the project goes.
Does this guy ever pay for anything?????
Dear sir can l please suggest something please why don't you put your work shop lights on so that you can see what you are doing it's health and safety in the work place
They ARE on.
2 hour videos are great tho
Maybe that knocking sound was the piston banging against that valve that busted off.
@23:00, "Schmegma": I haven't heard that since the 70s LOL!!
“Red Dwarf”.....
I want to see you bring that car back to life! I know its not a vw, but man!
Its been 40 years and I still remember that sound you make prying with a screw driver on that damn valve cover clip.
That air cleaner is a one year only 67.
I was anxious for the tear down, looking forward to next week.
