    Boy did you bring back memories. While away at college with my 63 beetle had one of the valves break when I was up around 65 on an interstate. Towed the car back to the apartment, pulled the engine (it was spring and outside) and found the problem- a busted valve. A $100.00 engine (guaranteed to run but no time length) installed and took us on our honeymoon to the east coast -from Chicagoland- and back.
    Rebuilt the engine with the busted valve and drove it for a long time. All done under the vehicle, alone with few tools. Great little engines, was a lot of fun. Now-a-days (53 years later) it's a 3 year old Honda that I don't even self-change the oil. Same honeymoon lady, we're finding out about the preachers words "in sickness and health" meant, but still enjoying life. JimM

Been back in the workforce full time since 2017 but I had a long run 2002 to 2017 working part time and watching kids. It's all good. Really enjoy your videos especially your attitude when things don't go the way you expect. I'm working on that when I fix things and in life in general. You get what you get and it's often not what a person expects to get. Wish they'd teach that stuff in school.

      Yeah, that and all the other things wrong; roached valves/valvetrain, all the blow-by, general neglect, not enough oil changes (or a crappy oil change interval).
      So the modularity of the engine is its strength by far--separate crankcase, cylinders and cylinder heads. And Mustie has a stash to die for.

      Yes I was as I can remember pulling a stud out many years ago. Not a great noise or feeling on the torque wrench

      Yep. As I recall, the heads torque at about 24? lbs. Not very much. Any more and the studs pull out of the case, which is a problem on these engines anyway.

    When I was taught to lap valves they would test the seal afterwards by putting the valves in, without springs etc., put the head cylinder side up on the bench and before they went home for the night they would fill the area the valves seat in with petrol. The petrol had to still be there in the morning!

    Take a triangular file and put grooves across the threads of the nuts to give the crud somewhere to go. This is not to cut new threads, only for cleaning them. 26 years as a machinist taught me this trick.

    Hey Mustie,what we use to do to adjust our carbs was to push a old piece of rubber hose on the screw so the hose stuck out pretty far and do the adjusting that way without screwing around with a screwdriver

    That is the most amazing thing I've seen. Take a rusted basically junk engine and turn into a running engine with parts laying around. I wonder how easy it would be to do that with an engine made now 30 years from now. I bet it couldn't be done especially if it was just laying on the ground rusting.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane, my Dad and did this job in December 1978 on a 1970 bug engine, it was only 8 years old at the time, but watching the process took me back. The VW was a hand-me-down graduation present for me - I was supposed to have finished the previous May but not the best student. The engine needed work but the body was shot so I got a barn find and went to work - thanks again.
