I just got my first vw bug 71 standard and will be building my first engine soon. These videos sure are helpful and much thanks for your time. I happen to love the music and your shop is fine. Much thanks!!!!
Why the clips for holding the lifters. I've built dozens of bug motors over the years and always just coated the lifter with white grease. Never had a problem
Hey jack, I went to view the video and it is in warp speed. How can this be slowed down? I sure appreciate your expertise with the information you prove for use new guys learning to build engines. Thanks alot....
so heating up the gear expands it so it can slide on the shaft, that gears for the timing right? i had to do the same for an onan 20hrs except i used a oil pan with oil and a torch to get it hot
You're doing great without a camera man! One advantage is that the video is nice and still, but I know what you mean. I do a lot of one-handed filming and sometimes you can't help but get grease on the camera .. or have to stop and set it down when you have to have both of your hands, etc.
I'm not a VW person but I love your videos! Thanks for making them.
I like to take the rear 2 bearings and fit them in the case first and scribe them lightly so when I slip the crank into the case with the bearings on I do not have to guess where the dowel pin hole is.
Hey, thanks a million for posting these videos! I just discovered my love for VDubs and I want to learn everything I can about the old air-cooled engine. Thanks again.
Graet vid's,,but i dont know how you can work in that mess man,,i make my engine shop like a hospital,,well,not an english one,,they are all dirty,,heheh

These videos are seriously cool! I'm hoping to get around to rebuilding a classic Beetle/van engine someday. Thanks for the upload :)
Also, just out of curiosity, how much would you say it costs to get new parts to rebuild one of these engines?

The two reasons i use clips are:
The clips are much easier to use.
You never have a lifter fall out when putting the top half of the block on. Iv'e used grease myself but for me the clips are the best way to go,
In the end its whatever floats your boat.

There is only one setting which is 360p. Youtube doesn't provide the 240p setting on this or most all of your videos that have this problem.
parachute84 1 year ago
When I click on 360 I get a choice to play at 240. It works for most people.
This is a YouTube problem and they cant see to fix it.

what was the reason for heating up the gear?
ouchy112 3 years ago
You have to heat the gears to expand them to slide on the crank.
