Your getting 100psi because your gauge is cheap Borrow a snapOn or mac

Hey bud, I’m rebuilding my 1970 1600 single port. In the middle of the tear down. Wondering if there was any way of contacting you direct for any compensated assistance/help. Thanks a lot for your vids bro.

EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO INSTALL !! Exactly the info I was looking for & ALL points covered clearly & concisely for correct install of 009 & SVDA. Glad I found this. I am now subscribed to the channel.

92 x 76 with a W125 😮

So how much difference did it make In the handling? Something to watch out for is a stiff sway bar can cause harshness on bumpy turns; have you noticed any of that?

Seat belts compulsory for 300hp

At 1.09 what is smoking?

Ssssstupid!!!!!!

Your idling sounded pretty high~

hello...is the rod a 3 foot or 4 foot rod..thanks.

Hi Jason, well put the case together but after final torque on main nuts crank won't turn? I watched Gary's build and when he got to that point just snugging the nuts down he could turn it using the conrods so he grabbed the pulley and got it turning then full torque still turned but with the pulley. Guess I need to try that tomorrow. The aircraft sealant I used doesn't cure for 24hrs so I think I'm OK leaving the case without the main nut off.

What setting is best in the feeler guage for a new 2161 stroker,…and for an old 1600 stock engine? Thanks

Watched part 3 today because I remembered to check between cam and lifter. I'm using the same cam but put new lifters in so just want to check it before closing the short block up. Got your info on here so good to go👍

Hello, Great video. I have a couple of questions for you if you don’t mind: What jets and air correction were you running with this motor? You were one of the only guys that had a very similar motor to mine. I am running 2276 with 9.5:1 compression CB Performance ported big valve wedge port heads, FK45 cam, 1.4 ratio rocker. I cannot get this car to run correctly. Either it runs like a bat out of hell but runs hot or it runs like shit with no power but cooler. I have gone between 55 idles all the way up to 70’s. I have ran 140 main all the way up to 160’s. My air are 200. I have adjusted my floats anywhere from 4.25mm up to 10mm. I cannot find the correct combination. When I did a similar driving test to this video, I got these temps. It was a 100F outside. I did that on purpose Driver side manifold- 190 Passenger side manifold- 150 Both cylinder heads- 353 Engine block- 235 Dip stick- 179 Oil temp gauge in the car-230 Oil pressure gauge in the car at idle-5-10lbs. Oil pressure while driving around 3000rpm- 30-40lbs From cold to about 210, the car idles perfectly right at 1000rpm. Once it get over 210, the idle drops to around 700rom. That is when my pressure goes below 10 and my stock green oil comes on. Once I give it gas it goes right out. My care is full flowed. I have the Gene Berge type 4 stock oil cooler plus an external oil cooler mounted above my transaxle with a fan set for 180. I am running VR1 straight 30 Why is my oil getting so hot, but yet my heads are so cool? What is the driver side manifold 40 degrees hotter than the passenger manifold? I talk to Mark at CB and he tells me one thing. Then I talked to Garry at Gene Berg and he tells me almost the exact opposite. So lost, confused and now totally frustrated. I am working on this thing more than driving it. I am losing my passion quickly. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated Take care, John

Dude just be yourself and stop trying to be so damn cool. I can't hardly stand to watch your videos.

Where did you buy tour micrometer set? What brand?

What size aluminum rod? Diameter and length?

Probably going to watch all of them again..... Thank you for doing these videos ;0

short and sweet

205/60/15 Rear maybe?

Nice

cool Cool COOL :D

love the series :)

AWESOME!!!

Bro can you built me a 2276

Brother, Car is a Beaut! How much would be the total cost on engine build?

My end of the rod is getting stuck on a tube at the rear, is there a position where the rod has to go in? I know it has a curve I have a feeling because of the it might be digging inside the tunnel hence why it's going under the tube and getting stuck inside the rear end of tunnel. Any ideia?" Thanks!!

Thank you

Why is your drained gas so yellow, that looks old, did you get leaded somewhere or is it sitting in the bug too long?

Take the blindfold off, put in a wideband O2. Then you know exactly what it is doing.

Do you have any experience with adding coil over shocks to a vw bug? I have a Porsche 356 replica with a 65 vw pan and fiberglass body

What distributor are you running on this?

You meant to say focus instead of zoom lol

Amazing how everything fits under a decklid and it’s intercooled! 🤯 Have you thought about a single or dual muffler hideaway setup?

awesome

Really good stuff! I am in the process of doing a rebuild in my engine. Thank you

if you are having a problems with it bottoming out change the stock stopper from bug to bus stopper they are taller and will stop it from bottoming out and you will leave much harder .

Before you send it back to the shop make sure your axles aren't bent and the axles move freely the other thing you can check is a warped rotor which would cause it to bind

Got an update on my project 40hp engine. Starting to rebuild it and got the new conrod bearings installed and torqued to the crank shaft. Got new lifters and crank bearings jugs and pistons from aaperformance. after reading up on these engines the tolerances were so tight, and they put these case halves together without sealant and the jugs without gaskets. Was confused by understand why when rebuilding these to use the sealant and gaskets which come in the new gasket kit. So, need to order the kit here soon to continue building it. I think it will run pretty good for an old 65 40hp with stock stuff back in it.

Hey Jason On my engine builds I have been putting in a windage tray . I like the idea of trying to keep most of the oil at the bottom of the case . Any thoughts ?

I've always loved the Old school VW beetles!

Just soak it in Chem dip, works wonders 👌

Say looked at your plug wires. They look off? Number 1 is in the back, then,4.3, 2 . Is this correct? I thought # 1 ,is in the front?

Where do i find the Bernie Bergman fan ?

Hi my friend, what are you oil pressure readings on your engine. At idle cold , warm , hot and when you are cruising. Thanks 😊👍

Those glass filters should be banned / illegal ....

Do you chose the venturis

Unfortunately there are only a few guys left that really know whats up. Fortunately for me they are all next door in OC.

I know this comment comes late, but have you noticed you have enough space for the muffler inside the rear fender behind the tyre? That's where I was hiding my mufflers when I was building bugs 30 years ago... 🙂
