Holy moly The Wagen! The presentation and your knowledge, skill, and work ethic set you up as easily the best TH-cam VW channel. You are just organically the best channel, because you guys are just 100% authentic.
Useful tip that has worked for me for close to 20 years. Use lip balm on the manifold gaskets. It helps them seal better and also not get stuck to heads and manifolds when replacement is needed. Love the parts from Gene Berg too; as he used to say “cry only once” because you’ll only need to buy them once. They are that good.
Speaking as a bone stock guy it’s really great to see just how much different a dual carb street motor is to build up and install. I hope to build a stoplight car someday. I learned a bunch. Thx!👍
I never have a problem finding original tin at VW swaps. With that said, I’m in So Cal and we have quite a few good swaps through out the year. Grab good stuff when ever you can find it. Unlike cases, good German tin can be used,fixed and used again and again. I’m always grabbing good stuff when I find it. Especially “Hoover” bits for dg coolers.
I used to rebuild VW big engines back in the 60's and I found that the early 30 horse engine push rods had thin wood shafts inside. Not sure why but very interesting!
Solid work as usual - lots of good procedure and information…don’t forget to mention direction of the cooling slot on the alternator breast plate…see to many pointing the wrong direction… ;-)
I’m not a fan of the aesthetics of the compressor. I’ve installed AC once under protest. Not sure I’d do it again. But the possibility exists. We’ll see.
Great attention to detail. Why were the tins removed under the heads and not replaced? I wouldn't call this a mechanical resto, but a much needed reseal to bring her back to glory.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏽The deflector plates were retuned back in place after being cleaned. Just checked photos on my phone. When I’m installing the sump you can see them.
G'day, The engine looks killer. I've just swapped out my alternator for a black unit. It finishes off the black theme I also have going. Q. Are you going to install the J Tube tins. Owe and I also had trouble with my Empi sleds. Heaps of mod work. So thanks for sharing, man. I love the content you put out. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
@the_Wagen J tube tins or industrial tins. These are tins that replace the heater boxes. It's basically a tin with a cut out for the J tube. Put into google, Industrial cooling tins. ✌️ Peace
Amazing work, you make awesome video and explain good. which carb the engine have. I got a 1600 and do the carb will be good choice for my 1600. with a distributor vacuum advance.
I know you are in a pretty constant climate, but why not install the stock thermostat and flaps? Lots of discussion on this topic, but I’m asking you. My Squareback engine doesn’t have anything but I’m going to add all the stock Type 3 pieces whenever I pull the engine.
What’s your intake on swapping oil measurements (summer & winter?). Running 20/50 right now. Recently rebuilt engine. 100F/70F weather, what size do you recommend for then it gets colder? 40-60F, never lower than that! Should I keep 20/50? Or go lower, and if so, to what size? Thank you!

Wow, thanks!
Solid work George.
Thank you. I have a 66 split. I always learned something from each video.
Darn good work you do bud..Real nice...
Thanks

I’ve used grease on intakes before. Never lip balm. Good tip.
Gene Berg is the best. 👊🏽

Very detailed work, hats off to you
Thanks a lot

Great work Toto professional do it right I don’t do it at all that’s my philosophy maybe I’ll see you in October
It’s a great time in your VW. Hope to see you there. 👊🏽
Another cracking video .
Great details again.
Well done
Thanks again!
Great video here. So much good information here. Well-presented and easy to understand.
Much appreciated!
Awesome ❤
Great video
I used to rebuild VW big engines back in the 60's and I found that the early 30 horse engine push rods had thin wood shafts inside. Not sure why but very interesting!
I used to over rev VW small engines back in the 90s.
Killer work as always!
Thanks Josh. 👊🏽
For cutting the gasket use bandsaw first then sander FYI HEHEHE. nice work it's so great to watch your videos.
Good tip!
Really great, top notch work!
Thanks a lot!
Solid work as usual - lots of good procedure and information…don’t forget to mention direction of the cooling slot on the alternator breast plate…see to many pointing the wrong direction… ;-)
I have an alternator video that I show that in. 👍🏽
Great time to torque check heads lookingfor further problems along with leak down checks
Have you had any requests to add air conditioning?
Would love to see a video on that
Thanks for sharing your work

Where did you get the
10 mm head nuts for the intakes. Love watching your stuff keep the good work up
A dude named Kona that sells at VW shows.
G'day,
The engine looks killer.
I've just swapped out my alternator for a black unit. It finishes off the black theme I also have going.

What are the J tube tins?
@the_Wagen
J tube tins or industrial tins.
These are tins that replace the heater boxes. It's basically a tin with a cut out for the J tube. Put into google, Industrial cooling tins.
✌️ Peace
Always attention to the details.

40 IDF Webers or 40HPMX Empi carbs. Whichever you can afford.
@@the_Wagen thank you!!

In Vegas we don’t need the warm
Up. I’ve only used them on stock restorations.
What is your opinion on the reverse intake manifolds for better carb adjustments ? Awesome detail work !!
The dell offset manifold is my choice. I’ve used the reverse manifold on my brothers Baja with 48 IDA’s. They were sharp. 👍🏽 I liked em.

20/50 summer. 10/40 winter.
Great videos! Question, where can I get the special nuts (M8X1.25 NUT WITH A 10mm) for the intakes?
I get them from a gentleman named Kona Flemming. I believe he sells on the Samba. But I buy them by the hundreds when I see him at shows.
Thank you!
Is that rubber that you have layed out under your lifts? What is the reason for it?
It’s an old Billboard. Our flours are asphalt. They are old and worn. Makes it easier to clean up.
Nice work as usual mate, where do you get those nut’s from? Great idea for serving
I got them from a guy named Kona. They were pricey. $1.00 each. Now they are more expensive. Every VW show I see him at I pick up 100
👍
Hoover bit ?
No Hoover bit this time. Didn’t have one.
