VW ENGINE 5

[mindfuckerification]

i have a question about the cam timing. Is it possible to align it 180 degrees off? You said line the dott on the cam between the two dots on the crank gear, so the two dots aren't on the diameter. hopefully you understand my question.

this guy is awesome, he deserves his own show on horsepower, kinda like tool time meets the red green show. i think it would be a hit between his wife yelling at him and his insightful ways of doing things like using the hot plate, i never would have thought of that and ya gotta love the flanel that just makes it. with the dancing and all that, reminds me of my uncle frank

wow i feel ya man... if you are able to do another video it would be nice to make another vid, even tho the last one was great it would be awesome if you did one on detail.. like video detail, because you detailed in words very well... thanks

[DaBuGzLiFe]

Will there be a time in the future where you will rebuild it again or another one? maybe this time with a cameraman? Everyone in youtube and your loyal followers will probably appreciate it. Thanks.

I was going to do a low budget engine where I was going to show how to check the used parts in your engine, what to look for and reuse your old pistons and cylinders by just replacing the rings but that is on hold. This engine I built just went in my Volks Rod. I just got that on the street. I just turned 70 and am running out of steam. (-; I may still get to it.

You can do it ! these videos are so helpful! You just need to find some guys into doing videos and have them help you film and edit.

Hey man!

Don't you need a liquid sealant in between your carter halfs?

Great video's btw. Got a 72' beetle with a AB1300 that won't start. I was gonna take it to school and work on it there , but I tkink I'm gonna tackle it myself now.

Fix your Web site It keeps freezing up my browser every time I tried to go on it. the trouble is not on my end.

[joebug55]

why did you use case sealing nuts and install them upside down? the red part of the nut goes down to seal out oil leaks..

[6d4vdub]

The only reason I use them is they come in the kit. I use Permatex Non Harding sealer under the washers and never have a leak.

If you put the red side down you don't get a true torque on the nuts and over time the torque will change, it will loosen and you don't want that.

[gst69man]

do you use permatex #2 as the case sealer?

Thanks for a great vid

Jack,

Please ignore all the stupid comments posted in your videos. You have done a HUGE service to all of us VW fans and we are in debt to you. Keep up the great work and always remember that if nothing else you have a HUGE fanbase in Pakistan now. (On behalf of the VW Club Of Pakistan)

[6d4vdub]

I didn't, its part of the block.

[luizmartins99]

Hello,

Didn´t you use any type of seal (like a loctite or other typer) in a junction of the two parts of the Block?

By the way you are doing a very good joob

Best regards

[6d4vdub]

I use Permatex Non Harding sealer and just a thin coat on both halves of the case.

What's the cam shaft for? It looks pointless, I'll just sell mine.

No really what does it do?

[6d4vdub]

The cam opens and closes the valves via the push rods.

Don't sell it the engine wont run.(-;

[psneves]

Hello Sir! Congrats about the job u done.

I was eager to see u assembling the alternator/oil tower to see the right position of that grill that goes between the tower itself and the case. but I did not see it.

I`m having this ~oil spill~ thru the oil tower when without the cap

Can u help me?

thanks in advance!

[6d4vdub]

You have to have the cap on or the blow-by from the engine will push oil out the oil fill.

I had sent several comments that never showed up for some reason.I hear ya on those teflon nuts,i have seen people including myself that has used them in the past with the teflon right side up with permatex and washers and torque to 26 i believe.If you use them against the case only torque to 18.I am leary about using them face down w/o washers,like you said my concern was the torque setting changing over time.That red part is NOT a seal but more of a self locking nut.

[6d4vdub]

koolbossjock, Your so right about the nuts..

[6d4vdub]

Your so right about the nuts!

[6d4vdub]

Test, can you read me now? (-: whats all the testing for?

[koolbossjock]

Would you believe i was reading a book that said put the 6 self sealing nut for the crank that torque the case with no washer and the red towards the case.Oh by the way I did not see you put the o rings on the studs in the case b4 clossing.lol

[6d4vdub]

Yes I would beleave that. The only reason I use the self sealing nuts is they come in the kit and I put them on backwards. I found you can't alway get the right torque with them and the torque setting on the tefflon seal will change as the case contracts and expands. I never use the O Rings because I had a problum many years ago with one O ring not seating right and never used them again and never had a problum, the oil will not travle past the permatex and washer. Do what you think is best.

Love the videos, and love the music in all of them just as much, just had to comment on this one though, Maggie May!

Helpful videos, thanks!
