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 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!
Your vid is a treasure trove of information to newer air cooled enthusiasts. Makes me reconsider how I did my carb, gen, gas line…..distributor, flywheel, well, you get the idea. Thank you taking the time on this.
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.
A 1776cc with dual 40mm Webers on a bus is a popular combo. A friend of mine ordered a complete 1776cc with dual 40mm Webbers, oil cooler, plus from Scat for his bus. I think a 1776cc with a cam and dual 44mm Webbers is good for a bug. That motor will run good, stock with a stock muffler. Nice to watch a real top VW guy work. I had a lot of help from Bugformance in Sacramento, California on my engine build.
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 UA-cam video
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!!!
Man, that takes me back! I was 16 in 1971 when I rebuilt my dad's 1959 36 hp VW bug. Made this horrible knocking noise and had so little horsepower you had to get out and push it to get it to go uphill. Then one day while walking past a bookstore in town I just happened to see in the window a book called How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Complete Idiot, by John Muir. I bought it and that book quickly became my bible! With just that book and no prior experience with cars whatsoever I took the engine apart, cracked the case and found the problem. Turned out the engine had been running on two cylinders because a tappet guide, held in place by a single screw, had fallen off into the oil pan causing two D-shaped tappets to rotate against the camshaft literally wearing two lobes down to nothing. Since each lobe opened and closed two opposing valves, all it did was kill two opposing cylinders and the engine still ran smoothly. My folks knew nothing about cars and just kept driving it that way. I reinstalled the tappet guide, replaced the camshaft, valves, rings, clutch and most of the bearings and seals and put it all back together, but had to sprint towards the end because my driver's road-test was coming up and I had to use that car to take the test. At 9pm the night before I started it up for the first time and it ran fine, much to my relief, but my mom, who was OCD about following rules, forbade me from test driving it because it was after 8pm. Yeah, definitely OCD that woman, she even forbade me from driving it to the DMV at 8am the next morning. I literally test drove it for the first time with the driving inspector sitting right next to me. I said nothing to him, but passed the test with no difficulty. Five years later I did the same thing to a 1600cc engine in a 1970 Bug in which its previous owner had been in a gunfight (found a bullet hole in a fender that had been filled in with Bondo). No idea what the outcome of the fight was, but the engine ran fine after I rebuilt it.
😮 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 ❤
I wish there were guys in the NYC area who could do such work. I'm currently teaching my grandson how to work on the 1973 Porsche 914 I bought for him. I started working on VWs and Porsches in 1968. What a long, strange trip it's been......
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.
Such a unique and simple engine design, loved the video. Have never owned a VW but I wanna buy an old engine and build it just to do it now because of your video. I'm used to putting together LS engines and this just looks fun compared to that even though they're very simple engines to build as well. New subscriber. I wish I had someone in wish I had someone in my area to get this kind of knowledge and build engines with haha. Thanks guys
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,
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.
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 UA-cam. 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 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 😁
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
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
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.
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 😏
Just located my distributor drive gear and all went well. I noticed your drive gear is different and has longer gears. the ridge at the bottom of my has an open area so it doesn't hit the crank shaft gear where yours doesn't have it. mine being like it is there is only one way to drop it in which is cool and final looks just like yours as far as the position.
Hey am i crazy or did you mate the two case halfs twice? First i saw it at 38:39 and again at 39:22? Is there two engines in this video or did you have to separate them after matting them the first time im so confused to what i saw it was never explained. Please reply so i know im not crazy.
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.
i have rebuilt a few 40 horse and countless 57 and 65 i did notice you didnt put a waher on the exhaust studs.and when installing number 1 cyl i noticed the oil ring out did you by chance squeeze that back in off camera or just hit it lucky and it reinstall its self.from experience i have on a few hit it lucky so i was just wandering if that was slight of hand or luck lol you guys are doing a great job and i love your engine building room. i have to clean an area in my shop and use that
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.
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
Ótimo vídeo, me identifiquei montar motor igual a você com todas as preocupações de estar todo torqueado , funcionou bacana demais , meus parabéns por mais um motor montado, grande abraço 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
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
Great video, but the parts cost so much now, a person might as well go Subaru from a wreck and have 160 trouble free horsepower. $800 heads, $900 fuel system, $500 stroker crank, $400 case machining, $80 solid rocker shafts, $60 steel push rods, $180 connecting rods, $100 crank and cam bearings, and that is if you have a rebuildable engine to start with.
I see on the passenger side of the motor one of the fins on the head is broken off a little chunk. Do you know if this is fine? Or if Darrin said it would be fine? I only ask because when pulling my motor apart one of the fins is broken in almost the exact same way.
Regarding the ignition sequence - the 1200 (34 HP) engine in my VW '62 had embossed letters cast in the engine block stating the ignition sequence. It was "Zündfolge 1-4-3-2" or similar
I don't think I have ever hear a smoother running vw engine ever. great job.
Some people have gathered so much knowledge that it is amazing.
This was like a class in air-cooled VW engine building. Thanks guys.

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.
i have rebuilt a few 40 horse and countless 57 and 65 i did notice you didnt put a waher on the exhaust studs.and when installing number 1 cyl i noticed the oil ring out did you by chance squeeze that back in off camera or just hit it lucky and it reinstall its self.from experience i have on a few hit it lucky so i was just wandering if that was slight of hand or luck lol you guys are doing a great job and i love your engine building room. i have to clean an area in my shop and use that
Thanks for sharing, great job!! 😀👍👍👍
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!!!
🎉 Nice engine ..
Valves are crucial ...Listen to it prrrr
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.
Dude thanks for the master class. excellent video .
Come on CT get a grip of that exhaust 😂😂😂
Should put sealant under the lower head stud washers. Also under the rockers.
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.
Would like to see you guys work on a Ghia and set it up for street performance.
Ótimo vídeo, me identifiquei montar motor igual a você com todas as preocupações de estar todo torqueado , funcionou bacana demais , meus parabéns por mais um motor montado, grande abraço 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
WOW Nice job Thanks for sharing....
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
Un gran mecánico. Mis felicitaciones.
Awesome video. Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Do you use shuffle pins?
Great video, but the parts cost so much now, a person might as well go Subaru from a wreck and have 160 trouble free horsepower. $800 heads, $900 fuel system, $500 stroker crank, $400 case machining, $80 solid rocker shafts, $60 steel push rods, $180 connecting rods, $100 crank and cam bearings, and that is if you have a rebuildable engine to start with.
I see on the passenger side of the motor one of the fins on the head is broken off a little chunk. Do you know if this is fine? Or if Darrin said it would be fine? I only ask because when pulling my motor apart one of the fins is broken in almost the exact same way.
VW Darrin rocks!
Regarding the ignition sequence - the 1200 (34 HP) engine in my VW '62 had embossed letters cast in the engine block stating the ignition sequence. It was "Zündfolge 1-4-3-2" or similar
CT don't get distracted 😂😂
I had a bug in 1990 after awhile I was adjusting the valves myself so hey I was going thru the right procedure, cool
I would love to volunteer here for a week or two.
Great video. I now completely understand nothing. 😂
27:02 A recomendação para uso do torquímetro é:
“Parar no primeiro estalo.”
Não é recomendado o double check.
Id love to learn from this guy
