I did it today. Then I took my ghia for a spin, and Man my car was noisy and stalling!!! I don't know exactly what I did wrong!! Car is running really bad and a knocking noise is sounding. Does anyone know what can possibly be the problem??
Slightly more difficult underneath a bug, but this is exactly how I've been timing my valves. Perfect instructions especially compared to other videos on youtube (some others would show you how to burn valves in no time).
Perfection. That IS the way it is done. Watch out for other incorrect vids on youtube. This is the one to watch. Long live the aircooled VW. And Betty, my 69 bus. :)
Thanks so much. You've really helped me out. I'm out in Oregon where there's a big VW industry, but all the guys know it and charge a bundle. These cars aren't that complicated; I just needed to see someone do it to make sure I was doing it right. So much for Dads that don't know sh@t about working on cars.
ur video really helps but im having trouble to adjust the valves 1 start at cylinder 1 and ajust them an move to the next cylinder and adjust them but then i check cylinder 1 and the valves ar too tigh an or loose what can be the problem
Awesome videos of how to do things right. I wish you would do more. How about one on push rod tube replacement with the OEM and the spring loaded?
Great videos!!!

@GeminiSeven43 - Engine should be cold cold cold, as in park-it-overnight cold.

One thing I didn't hear him say is whether or not the engine should be hot or cold when adjusting valves. ?
