I’ve heard many rod knocks over my many years of being around motors. I’ve owned many trucks with my businesses and motors go bad. They’ve usually sounded liked a sledge hammer inside the motor. I didn’t hear that with this little 1600. That being said I won’t be making the mistake of not refreshing the bottom end again.

I’ll never just put a fresh top end on a motor then send it again. Freshen up the bottom end also always.

Especially upon throttle release, Surprised it ran it being so bad😟

I couldn’t when I was driving because the exhaust was so loud but once I watched the video I’m like was that motor knocking from the get go? Oh well got a rebuildable long block coming next week. The buggy will be up and running in no time.

I tore the motor down today, publishing now. There was definitely some wear in the pump and bearings which would cause low oil pressure. Next time I rebuild an old motor it will be in its entirety not just the top end. Check out today’s video to see the damage. Thanks

Yes it’s broken. Check out today’s video to see the extent of the damage.

Thank you

Thank you

It is an automotive channel so….🤔

I got them off of Amazon. They fit nice and were plug and play on the truck besides the ditch light. a.co/d/hEIl5P8

No sir

We’re still tossing ideas around. My first thought was full tube chassis, long travel suspension including A arm front end and 3x3 trailing arms in the back. We have a 2.0 motor out of a Jetta with the adapter plate on the way. That will initially go into Frankenbuggy until the Subaru 2.0 is built. If I go the off road route with this buggy the Jetta motor will end up in it. If we build a ripping street cruiser out of it it will still get a full tube chassis but the motor will be a turbo 1835 that we also have in the works. What would you like to see become of this buggy given the options? Ultimately our builds are for you our subscribers to enjoy watching them being built.

Yes it is

Thank You

We’re going to be narrowing the beam by 4 inches👌🏻

@@Wineingerracing perfect! 2 inches by side!

@JeanMelim that’s the plan!

It’s going to be a drag truck, i put the short block together a few videos back!

This was the first version I made on my buggy. The final version was as I tried to explain above. And here is the link to the only photos I have of him. I built it in 2010 and sold it in 2012... planetabuggy.com.br/buggy-de-jean/

Not sure how I’m going to handle the roll bar on this one. I don’t like how it comes down on top of the cast shock mounts. I will probably do some structure off the torsion housing. I’m going to be building a higher performance buggy, full size pan. Thinking it will be a total tube chassis, long travel and big motor.

@@Wineingerracing see the Manxter full roll cage to ideas

ECS Tuning

I’ve got it hitting all the gears now and you have to push down on the shifter to get it in reverse now. It took some fudging around and it was quite frustrating but it’s all good now. I’ll be posting a video tomorrow if it working perfectly.

A little sarcasm. Definitely wasn’t firing.

People reuse it but it’s recommended to replace because when removing it you can bend the cover causing it to not seal properly when reinstalled.

@@Wineingerracing Ok thanks for the reply :) Where did you buy your new chain and tensioners, any recommendations for brands? Also what type of silicone did you use?

OE or OE equivalent is fine. I got the timing chain kit from ECS Tuning and it comes with everything you’ll need👍🏻

Water went down the exhaust through an open valve and into the cylinder.

@@Wineingerracing it was a joke bud.... it's an air cooled engine, I was trying to stir the comment section up.

@@woodchopinbeekeeper929 Thank you for that. Lol!!! You’d be surprised how many people don’t know what they are looking at here.

Possibly. I’m replacing the alternator with a new one. The end of the armature has 1/2 the threads stripped off.

He’s starting to like the camera. He used to avoid being in the shot. Lol!!!

Amazing how easily and clean it made the cut. I look forward to using it in a wide variety of applications and see how it works. I think I’ll be wondering what took me so long to get one.

ARCCAPTAIN Plasma Cutter

We plan on restoring it but with a Miata drivetrain👌🏻 Check out the tear down videos we did on it!

The differential of a VW bug transaxle. I expected to see carnage in the transmission but everything there looked good. The mystery continues. Lol!!!

😂😂😂

Unfortunately this motor isn’t worth what the repairs would cost.
