- Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this new version of the VW Type 1, 40hp engine build. This was my first build with VWDarrin a couple years back and it was a lot of fun. Thank you! =)
VW Engine Build - Complete Start to Finish | Type 1, Flat 4
I was 19 years old , I just had a Flashback of a Seasoned VW Mechanic teaching me how to do a Valve job. I am now 68 years old and still remember the lesson. What a great Video. Some people learn by reading - some watching -others doing. This is Great Teaching material.
One of the best build videos I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched a lot of them. Thank you for filming and asking a lot of questions a long the way. Lots of wisdom from your friend. He’s legendary. Really enjoyed watching him share his knowledge through the whole thing. Will be using a lot of tips and tricks on building my single port and doing work on my 1914 ghia engine. Thanks! Great video
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Watched every minute, and really enjoyed it !! I am about to retire, and I plan on rebuilding my stock 1600 TP, this will be of great help, Thank you
Thank you! Good luck on your build and enjoy your retirement! =) Let me know how it goes!
Good luck and happy retirement!
I fell asleep watchin this and i could of sworn i was buildin an engine with nicolas cage and some guy cause i kept trying to give instructions cause i could hear it while asleep but couldnt talk and there was a lake right next to open garage doors and i could see down in it and see fish!! Lol so weird. i woke my self up and saw what ya'll were buildin and rewatched it cause i've built hundreds of vw engines. Nice job thanks for sharin!
That's awesome! I love weird dreams! Thank you! =)

I don't think I have ever hear a smoother running vw engine ever. great job.
I'm only 10 minutes in and I'm glued...great video!
I used to rebuild those engines when I was in my early teens. Installed a lot of big bore kits, dual weber carbs. Complete rebuilds and reconditioning of every part
Most Lego sets are more complicated to assemble than a VW engine😂
That was one of the best builds I've seen. Good old VW. May it live forever. I'm always so impressed that the little engine that could has stood the test of time.
Thanks Larry!
This guy is awesome! Thanks whoever you are for teaching anyone who will listen to your wizdom!
i like this Darrin dude hes straight to the point and does explain well,matter of fact way i apreciate that.

This was so educational and Darren is a great teacher and made it fun to watch. I'm an inspired mechanic to be at 55 yrs.old and love working and repairing my cars. Now learning about air cooled engines and how they work. Love it and looking forward to 1 day build my own . I currently have 74 beetle and love it. Great CZcams video
Great video. I now completely understand nothing. 😂
I’m going to be taking on a complete rebuild this summer
Thank you for this video
Very informative
How's it going?
@@lonniedeckermusic
Hard to start when work has me staying in hotels every week
Thinking about selling the thing
What an awesome experience to learn from VWDarrin! You can't put a price on getting that kind of knowledge!
Thanks from Norway,God bless you
Great Done good job I m from Islamabad Pakistan ❤️🇵🇰❤️
So cool to be working with darrin.
Thanks Corey! It's always a good time hanging out with Darrin.😎

Thank you so much Sir for share it... God Bless you and your friends and families in USA... Best regards from Santiago of Chile, SouthAmerica!
Love this guys. Thanks for taking the time to do it 👍🏻
I like the way you work. Well lit, clean, well-organized and everything laid out. You are an inspiration!
😄😂😂🤣🤣 Do you go to many Machine Rebuid Shops ?
Man, that was awesome. This should have been called CT: THE MOVIE!
Hello from Scotland 🏴👍
Thanks man! =)
Hi CT, getting ready to start rebuilding my old 40hp engine. I got new bearings, pistons and jugs for it. My case is older without main stud Orings and cam bearings so not much needed to put the case halves together. I also got new lifters since the old one were flat. The fun starts.
Hey Tim! that's awesome man! Make sure you film all of it and share it with everyone! =) I'm working on my 40h as well. Just rebuilt the 26 pict-1 today. It's got more punch now. The fuel inlet came loose so I need to find a barb with a thread and screw it in so it doesn't pop out again. That's how they catch on fire.....what brand cam and lifters did you buy?
Using the same cam and stock lifters but the box says racing lifters. Maybe it will go faster. Haha. Never rebuilt a VW engine before so a first for me. I have rebuilt ford and chevy engines before which are allot harder. These are tinker toys compared to those. Getting our newer RV ready also for our annual trip down the Pacific Coast. Can't wait. Will share videos on CZcams. Oh, I haven't even looks as to what the original carb I have for this yet? Looks like it took a mudd bath. Will drop the whole thing in my chemdip can and go through it. Yes, these are fire starters so tapping it out and put in a barb fitting would be a great improvement for sure👍
You get my number one vote for a job well done . Thank you for the lesson on how to rebuild a V W . Engine.
Thank you! =)
Thank you for a 1200 build video! Always find videos of dual port 1600 videos. You gained a new follower! Can't wait to learn from your videos!
VW air cooled engines are simply a masterpiece of engineering IMHO ❤ 😊
Brings back memories from Courtesy Chevrolet San Diego doing Heavy line work with a real shop Forman named Harry Boker
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! =)
The internal combustion engine is nothing short of a mechanical miracle.
Nothing like building air cooled engines. I use to build chevy corvair engines. Easy work
Yes, they are pretty cool and fun to build!
My father used to have a Volkswagen shop in the '70s and '80s called The Beetle Haus in Atlanta, ga. I learned how to do this engine rebuild when I was 13 years old and I also learned how to install the motor in the in the vehicle. It's really easy. My first car was a bug. And all of my friends started driving beetles because I had one at 16. Now even 30 years later they all drive German cars. Even their grandchildren.
Where was his shop? Beetle Haus? Ive always lived in Atlanta.
I am not going to build a vw engine but i enjoyed the video...
Thank you! =)
😮 wow I love that engine process I wish one day find someone who show me stuff like this not in school just on streets I like school but went u learn its like this gentleman did ❤
Thank you! =)
VWDarren is the bomb! Enjoy hearing and watching him.
Hey I saw you rebuilding that VW engine... it brought back memories. From the maternity my first ride was in a 1959 VW, 17 years later I learn to drive in the same all beat up and when I was about q0 years I swear, I knew how to put that engine back together. That was in Africa! I live here now and swear before my time, I am gonna buy me a VW...My dad had a 1957 Chevy I saw in uour picture!!! Memories!!!
Thank you for being a wonderful patient teacher. Remind everyone that number 3 exhaust valve clearenss should be a little looser then the rest of the valve clearness. Number 3 exhaust valve runs hotter, and is more successible to failure,
Porsche was truly a brilliant engineer/designer. Motor sounds really awesome. Time to get it installed! 😊🫵🏻👍🏻
It was installed in Rusty and he drove around the block a few times.
So nice. Flat 4's and 6's are magic. Great team
Thanks David!
I worked on old timer Mercedes Benz, so many things are`nt the same but still one time watching this I guess i can fix vw now.
From 1974 to 1977 I learned car mechanic by VW in Germany after the 3 years I was tested in theory and practice and I got the certificate for car mechanic without this certification you can't work as car mechanic in Germany
I don't know how much of this Boxer engine's I repaired but it was a lot 😏
Youve clearly built plenty of VW engines and way more than me but, watching you bounce that crank putting the key in and then watching it flex when you torqued the tod bolts hurt me deep in my soul.
Love for you to build my engine. You’re very thorough and appreciate the attention to detail.
Fun to watch. I got a Tesla Model 3 but still cool to watch. I helped a crew chief for a ASR with a Porsche Engine. My partner in business was going 200 mph on the race track. One thing he learned at driver school at Sears Point Race Way was instructor told him to step on the brakes at top speed. He ended up getting brusing from the safety belt. Hee. Heeee.
I had a DAtsun 510 race car and there were these Formula Atlantic Race cars and we both were tuning our cars before the big event. I was amazed at the power of those cars. I saw him on my rear view mirror and so I stuck my fingers out to point where to pass me. Every shift he made was amazing. I watch his rear tire expand and contract. Unless you are a race car drivers most people don’t get that chance.
I eventually got into Show room stock C. I had a Ford Fiesta 1600 cc and set the lap record at Sears Point Raceway and Laguna Sega. The trick is to drive smooth and take a late apex. It may be the longest path but the fastest path. The definition of a late apex is to make the largest radius.
To truly be a great driver I took classes over $3,000.00 for a two day class in refining my driving skills. It was definitely worth it not only to save your car but to react and drive in a way to not kill yourself. Road Racing Ain’t Cheap. I quit after 4 years after being the best driver and went into extreme snow skiing. I think skiing was more dangerous. Done jumping off plane served as a Medic in Vietnam and everything crazy.
I am doing more safer sports like Mix Martial Arts. Age 72
Great video!! Still watching…..
Thanks Slade! =)
@@CTmoog You’re on your game my friend!!
@@SladesVWBeetle 😎😎😎 Thanks buddy!
A true master at his trade 👌🏻😎
Building them in his sleep! =)
VW Darren is a legend on them engines
Rad little video. The 2 hours went by fast! Thanks guys
Thanks to the the amazing Mechanic (Darrin?) and the guy filming. Such valuable video to reference and to keep them bugs on the road.
Rusty's engine, the owl VW transporter. Nice playlist!
Wow! You guy’s did a great job on that beauty!! She sure purr’s like a kitten! Well worth watching the complete build!👌😎👍
Grate Video CT ! Like i said before there is nothing like starting up a engine that you have bulit your self CT ! You will see ! Thanks Darrin also ! Straight Ahead ! ✌😎
Thanks Mike!!! One day! =)
VW Darrin rocks!
Adjust cylinder 1 clearances with "Dreizylinder schnidipunkt" !! That's how I was taught. Beautiful engineering.
Nice montage, CT. In Brazil, it is usual to assemble it a little differently, which can be seen on Tonella's channel, a specialist in air-cooled engines in São Paulo. Congratulations on the super cool projects! Hugs, Bauru/SP
Thanks Jose! 😎😎😎
@@CTmoog I nominate Leandro Coelho too. hugs, Belo Horizonte/MG
You lucky guy. I'd love to spend a couple of days with VWDarrin. His videos have helped me build quite a few motors, he's a very clever guy. Soak it in dude..
Also, could you number up your vids in order? It's taken me ages to find them all in the correct order 😂
Keep up the good work mate 😁
How lucky are you to get to work next to that legend
Does VW Darrin and Mustie Darren know each other? Wealth of knowledge for sure.
Id love to learn from this guy
VWDarrin is the MAN!!!
Bonjour Rusty et à vôtre ami Darrin très belle équipe félicitations pour le remontage
de ce moteur en peu de temps
чудово виконана робота , двигун працює як швейцарський годинник , майстер золоті руки
Just got my first vw this is the first engine build video I have watched great video fellas
Nice 👍 Thank you!
Commenting to help the channel ! Let'sssss go !
Thank you!!! =)
I had a bug in 1990 after awhile I was adjusting the valves myself so hey I was going thru the right procedure, cool
Saludos desde Colombia. Gracias. Gracias. Tkd magnífico vudeo
Hi from South Africa. Wow, it's an absolutely amazing engine build. I learned a lot. Darren is an amazing mentor. If I were a jounger, I would have loved to work and learn under his guidance. By the way, what city is this workshop at. Good luck with the installation of this engine and happy riding 😅. Cheers
Thank you! =) Darrin is amazing! He is located in Central Florida.
She purrs like a kitten 😊
Would like to see you guys work on a Ghia and set it up for street performance.
Super rebuilding skills there.
Very enjoyable video.
Someday I’ll get back into vw fever.
Thanks
Thank you! =) Don't wait! Just do it! =)
here is a great tip i use when cleaning parts for final assembly put a old alu radiator on a barrel and it works great to let small debri and the cleaning fluid fall away from your parts
I always used scotch bright pads (red) with dawn dish soap to clean cylinders lightly to knock off the sharp edge , especially on air cooled engines, I did this to all my rebuilds. try it some time, My rebuilds lasted over 25 years and still going, I rebuilt Lots of diesels, I did this to a cat engine that had 700 thousand miles honed the cylinders with dingle berry used cylinders and pistons new rings. the customer said the oil was always cleaner in that engine at oil changes then any other it has 400 thousand miles and still going strong. Try it you'll be amazed , I retired after 35 years.
Very cool video.. btw, that wavy washer is called a belleville washer.. 🙂
Should put sealant under the lower head stud washers. Also under the rockers.
My brother always raced VW Dune Buggy's,......in mud runs.
He would enter 3 times and take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place other racers hated him the fans loved to watch him wheely through the mud pit.
The other racers tried to look at his engine to see what 4 barrel carburetor and nitrus he was running.
He quit using VW engines because they always spun the same bearings,...it was cylinder 1 or 2, I forget now.
But he started using the pinto beam kit using 74 pinto engines,.....titanium bolts and everything else.
Then his buggy was untouchable,....Then he also ran in the outlaw class against 4 wheel drives.
Very cool! =)
YEAH YEAH, WE DID 6-8 EVERY WEEKEND ...PULL EM REBUILD EM ... RE INSTALL EM ...
I owned a '69 in the early 70's.....I didn't know the valves needed to be adjusted until I burned an exhaust valve. But then learned how to do it....and still have the pro feeler guages.
Two + hours of well spent time.
YEA great IDEA....
Thanks Mike! You gave me the idea! I appreciate it! =) 😎😎😎
Engine firing order is 1432 but clockwise, not anti clockwise as shown 1 hour 43 minutes 20 seconds in that's why engine wouldn't run at the end. (noticed leads had been changed but no mention of it?) sorry but waisted loads of time previously and don't want other people doing the same... great video guys.
Yes , I totally agree, because the crank is a 180 degree crank,making the firing order 1234 or 1243 , that's a flat plane crank they are assembling
🎉 Nice engine ..
Valves are crucial ...Listen to it prrrr
Darins the man
Yea, its way easier to do it before putting halves together!!! But you can put your drive gear in backwards, but thats easy enough to lift and adjust after assembly
Thanks for sharing, great job!! 😀👍👍👍
Dude thanks for the master class. excellent video .
I have an oil leak coming from behind the crank pulley. Any ideas of how to fix it? This is a great video thank you for sharing!!!
I built the air cooled vw engines for many years. 40 hp valve clearences .008 intake and .012 exhaust. There was valve clearence variations on some engines if the rocker studs were shorter or deeper into the heads on some older heads. The .004 and .006 were used on 1500 and 1600 motors. Are you building a bus engine? The muffler looks like a bus one.
I have never, ever used valve grind paste - EVER❗️Even after doing 1,200+ individual valves on VW 's

Hey Ricardo! =)
Great job
Mis saludos y mis respetos para los dos, tremendo capitulo. Muy lindo el sonido de ese motor.
Well done my friend. A v /good job.
been waitin on this one Man... very cool, vid
Thanks Grant!
Good job, but please use hose clamps on the fuel line. You don't want leakage of fuel and what else happening. Also there are double coated fuel lines available that wear less quicky. The fuel filter doesn't belong there in my humble opinion. Potential leakage of the fuel above the distributor is fatal.
WOW Nice job Thanks for sharing....
Bravo majstore😂😎
Top Job 👍😋
Good Job
Can't wait to see you driving rusty!
here you go enjoy =)
