Ive known contractors that used straight 10w in a Detroit 471, winter and summer, these engines ran for 10,000 hrs in a TS14 scraper.

You can get 20w/20, it's Mobil Delvac 1220 High Detergent Oil API CF/SF. Only thing is you have to buy it by the barrel 😒

😅Put in 10/30 and quite listening to all the geeks out there, any thing these days is ten times better than 50 yrs ago. I got married in 1971, and being in a family of 9 kids and we all had VWs. We used Esso Extra 30W, and 10 W in the winter. All ourVWs lasted well over 100,000 miles, sometimes needing an overhaul. So i just shake my head at all the conversation about oils, its not that big a deal. Change your oil and drive

Great video, thanks!

Is that water in container??

My husband just got the exact same thing, but he’s trying to get it to run. There’s a green wire and we can’t figure out what it goes to. Can you please take a video of underneath the hood with the engine and stuff on the left-hand side? Help plz!!!! Lol

great video: Never thought of using the headstock with center, makes perfect sense. I have reamed my Chi/Com 13x40 several times with little success. will give this method a try before ordering new Quil.

15w40 easy

9:37 The torque value of the flywheel nut is 70 ft-lbs

I have almost the same one as yours. Some guy modified it awhile back so it's now a 4 wheeler instead of a 3 wheeler

Everytime I use synthetic in my 2332 turbo air cooled vw, i get leaks at the valve cover gasket using the rubber gasket on the CB performance covers. But this doesn't happen with the Kendall 30sae straight weight. Since the kendall is a pain for me to locate at a reasonable price without a long drive, I'd love to use a 10w-30 synthetic if I could.

How do you prevent it from leaking internally? Thats the problem i have

Thank you!!!

Lot of knowledge going on here. Thank you so much

For those who know, in California I use 20-50w. I’ve used it for 35 years. Valvoline. Premium gas.

At last l have found a good explanation 😊

the gene berg/synthetic question is still rehashed to this day. it's not a conflicting opinion, it's inconclusive/incomplete research done decades ago (berg) vs actual science - synthetics remove more heat from engine parts, it's basic physics. so many people still glued to old, outdated information because they heard or read somthing once and haven't bothered to update themselves since. science doesn't stand still.

Great Video. Could you tell me if the electric choke piece is interchangeable between the 3 carburetor's. I looking to update my 28 pict to 12 volt ?

Greetings from Palermo. Just got a yellow 1978.

My only recommendation woulda been to test "new" conventional gear oil after draining the old. Then testing the synthetic. Would've been nice to see all 3 results.

👍

With any test it is best to have only one variable. The different cover materials could affect cooling, and the volume of fluid may also have been different since the original cover was leaking. Still, it was an interesting result with a much larger temperature difference than I expected.

The new steel differential cover might be helping with better cooling comparing to the composite material.

Excellent video. Just bought a used one and even though it runs like a champ the guy said he replaced all the filters and performed an oil change over the phone; once he delivered it nothing had been done. So, yes, great deal (126 hours) great running but now I get to replace all the filters and oil change, spark plug etc.

Hey what were the results of you using that Mobile 1 and that Castrol Diesel oil ?

You do realize that you're never supposed to run a manual trans starter without it being installed. Not having the shaft supported will tear things apart inside

very helpful video, why does the throttle need to be in a wide open position? many thanks!

Not just Honda ATC but any ATC

Thank you so much man, I couldn’t ever figure out why mine would just quit working but this helps SO much

Where do you get your headstock bearing from?

Very good explanation. Where are you located in Maine. I am in nh and may need some work in the future

That. Was helpful

Hello,is that the sunnen book your getting specs from or another book?

👍

No electronics . only daily trash use products lol

Just stop driving these old dogs.

Idea on how to reset the change oil indicator? I changed oil and air filter just curious how to reset that.

First of all great video, thank you!! Here in Las Vegas where it's a bit warm I do run the Valvoline VR1 20/50. Porsche 1.8l I chose the Valvoline VR because it claims to have two times zinc❤ 2 times what I don't know. Now I think I see Valvoline also produces VR1 in a synthetic and that interests me. Because, not to get into any kind of arguing or fighting but I think if the oil geek says it, it is so.

Thank you for this excellent video, I am a 70 y.o woman I was able to follow the steps, better video than the Cub cadet , thank you again

If it is the same as my "garage" caliper the slide for the depth indicator is not stainless. It needs some oil to keep it from corroding.

I wonder how this compares to a shars

I have one of those calipers.

digital calipers are not accurate anyway, that one is better then most .... better than my mitutoyo ...... fit and finish is another matter.

I have a friend with a 71 super beetle with the factory 1300cc single port engine. Can dual port heads (with a dual port intake manifold) be bolted directly to the 1300cc engine?

16:54 isn't the 3.5 thou vs 5 thou just the v block being at 45 degrees? assuming it's also 3.5 on the other side of the v, 3.5 * sqrt(2) is 4.94 thou. you'd probably also get that if you positioned the indicator moving vertical instead of measuring tangent to the way

Thank you sir fixed my problem

I only use KLOTZ R-50 , my generator has 14,968 hours on it.

I have an lt42b, goid luck with getting to the quick drain. Some genius put the wiring harness, on the frame, about an inch and a half away from the quick drain. The wires are heavily pressing down on the quick drain, making it extremely difficult to turn and pull out the drain. Other than that changing the oil was normal.

Great video brother, thank you!
