I am so very sad that this happened to your engine EZGZ. The 74X88 1800 has been my dream engine for a long time now and I followed your build. My 74mm crank, 5.325 rods and flywheel are fully balanced and my 88mm barrels & pistons arrived from AA last week. Please keep us posted with your prognosis and more importantly, keep a positive attitude & your head up!
So sorry to hear brother... thats a heart dropping pain in the butt. Just like you say gotta pay to play, but man that is a bummer. I know you'll get it all sorted out.
Man, you got that right.... it was so tedious getting the 1.4:1 rockers setup and dialed in.... they are nice but kind of a pain to deal with. With the FK8, I measured .538” of lift! Kinda miss a stock engine sometimes lol I haven’t been able to get these ratio rockers to be as quiet as stock ones, even though others have said I wouldn’t be able to. Really sucks about the engine, that sucks! Don’t be embarrassed, you’re honest and help show people the good and the bad. It sounds like the valve may have hit the pistons and cracked or broke the piston. Pull it down and take us along for the rear down.
LOL, I new that would rattle your cage. I think initially you have to be careful with these 1.4's but I found when I had them on my 2 liter I would adjust them with engine warm. Not hot, Just warmed up. I didn't even use the feeler gauge after a while. I would just use one hand to roll the pushrod and the other hand on the allen wrench. Then Tighten it until I couldn't roll the pushrod and back off the allen wrench about a flat of a nut? Tighten the locknut and then roll the rod again to check. Give the arm a little jiggle to be sure it clicked and go on to the next one. I think the problem is the slop in the lash cap. There's to many places to get clearance. I did it that way for a couple of years and then all of a sudden I started busting rocker stud bolts right at the top under the nut???? Never happened while driving. I would just decide I would go for a ride. Start up and hear a sound as the rockers hit my valve cover. Lost 6 studs. 4 on the passenger and 2 on driver side???? I think the HD single springs I was using were getting weak. I should have been using double' springs. I ran doubles on my 2110 and 1776 for years but after I had a cam go away and trashed a case I decided it was time to back of RPM and spring pressure and start using Zinc additive. Maybe some day we will meet in person. I'm sure we would have lots of story's to swap. I respect you and how you RoLL . Hehehe later Friend. I also appreciate your support.
TheEZGZ you never rattle my cage, if you ever did, we’d have an actual conversation about it. No clue why you broke studs or had the issues that you did. I’m definitely curious to see what’s going on with the 1800, we will all learn from your experience once again. It’s from people like you that I’ve gotten as far as I have. I appreciate your openness and honesty. If we do get a chance to meet up one day, we will have plenty of story’s over a few burritos!
I wonder if your valve was too close to the piston with the 1.4’s 🤔 Can’t remember what heads you are running on that build. So many builds to keep track of lol
We're all human brother, Sorry for set back on the 1800.. Thank you for the video.. We're looking forward to seeing what went a stray... Hang in there...
Sorry to hear about the heart break going to Heartbreak Hill. Pun intended, of course. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. You're honesty when it comes to things like this makes me pause a bit on my own rebuild. Maybe I'll just stick with a typical 1600cc for my first rebuild.
Sorry to hear, as a fellow experimenter I feel your pain. One thing Ive found with experimentation is eventual failure, a painful but valuable lesson. My bet would be valve guide or cam/lifter issue. Hope the heads are salvageable.
I so admire your ability to put your hands up when things go wrong. Sh*t happens to us all, don't you know! I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it .... and another video will follow with the solution. Your videos are so helpful ... have a beer and a sleep and then come back refreshed ;) ... I'm looking forward to the follow up videos already! :)
A couple of years back, I had a similar experience following a rebuild. No.3 cylinder was blowing oil. One of the piston ring retainers (grooves) had cracked and it was amazing how much oil was able to pass through. Lucky that it remained intact and didn't cause further damage. ( made quite a rattle and loss a lit of power) Fixed-er-up and all's good.
Sorry Greg that just plain sucks. We are all learning from your success's and your failures, thats why we are tuned into your channel always. Keep the chin up and forge on, i feel like the student waiting for the next class with anticipation.
Hey man Kevin here from Australia. On the bright side your channel will benefit everyone's gunna know what happened so that = many views and hopefully subscribers. Anyhoo stay safe and stay well. ✌ Peace man
I can relate, I'm currently building my 1835 for my '66 Sundial Camper. I had a super 1600 with a Holley bugspray, MSD ignition and MOFOCO heads.. Heads were not machined right, @6,000 mi engine junk.. cylinders purple, valves warped. Heads were never machined with cooling passages. My 1835 has CB heads.. good luck on your 1800.. ty for all your videos!
S--t happens buddy. Don't let it get you down. Pop another one of your engines in it and enjoy the summer. It would be a good winter lockdown project. I love the fact you keep it real.
Sorry to hear about the misfortune. But it will be a teaching experience for you and a great learning experience for us. Thanks to you and the carburetor tuning and tech tips my 1835 hasn't ran better. I can't wait to see what you teach us next with this misfortune. If budget was open and you went with something new I would say do a 1915 turbo draw through side draft. But that's an open budget but think how much fun that should be. I know im working on a 1835 turbo draw through now upgrade. Lol
always hate to hear something like this! sorry for your misfortune! just put the 1600 or 1776 back in and take your time in this one so u can enjoy this nice spring and early summer weather! thanks always for your honesty and these videos!
Wish I was closer I’d help ya put that 1600 in and get a ride up Heartbreak Hill. Sorry to hear about the 1800.. we can get emotionally attached to these mechanical creatures. I worked part time in the evenings at a machine shop that built mostly Circle track dirt track engines. Some engines ran a long time just coming back for a freshen some came back in pieces. Always hated to see them come back broke even if they weren’t mine personally. Still a good feeling to know some of my work was in Engines that won races and championships. Wow just got off track there ha ha. Have a Burrito enjoy life Mechanical objects are replaceable and stay healthy. There’s a lot of trips up Heartbreak Hill to make !!!! I don’t have my Bug running but have a 46 Plymouth to Cruise in bet that old Flathead would hold 2000 RPM. I think peak torque is at 1100 RPM.
Sorry to hear about the bad news. And you did it for all of us. There are so many different things that could have happened. All I can say is if there is anything I can do or be of help let me know.
Sorry to hear about your 1800. I was looking forward to seeing it make a run at Heartbreak Hill. Maybe it will make for a good opportunity to make a good series on building up a solid 1600-1776 from scratch. I think that my 1700 pound baja could really benefit from the extra power of a 1776 while still maintaining a good degree of reliability. I have a spare rebuild-able motor. It's an older german case that I think is currently a 1600, but I noticed that it is just a single oil relief case. Can a single relief case be used as the foundation for 1776 motor?
Really enjoy your channel. Question: when assembling fresh, on the bench or stand, do you think using plasti gage to check the clearance, valve to piston at max lift would be possible? And leave a smidgen extra clearance in case of valve float at higher rpm, if springs aren’t super stiff. Just throwing it out there for discussion. Carry on.
TheEZGZ clarification: place some plasti gage on top of the piston, assemble the head, hand crank the engine thru a cycle of valve operation, disassemble head, measure plasti gage to determine how close valve is to piston at full lift. Just wondering if this would nail down what the actual clearance is, to see if it is marginal or dangerously close to collision. Valve float could be a consideration if spring pressure is marginal too.
Sad failure, but we will all learn something from it! Love you videos. Think its more fun to put the 1776cc singleport back in, no headaches. I had most fun with al my stock engines. Now im building a 1915cc with stock cam and cb 044 heads, im gonna try running a single 34 with bigger venturi. In europe a specialize shop in germany sells those carbs. You think i should stay with stock rockers or can i use my 1.25 rockers? Stay safe and greasy EZGZ
Never happened. Valve guide got loose, fell down the to the valve, I was playing the how will this engine rev and the valve guide broke into peaces, got sucked into the cylinder, destroyed the piston and head as well as bent the connecting rod.
Sorry to hear about 1800. 😞 Put the 1600 back in and enjoy driving the car. Save the 1800 for a winter rebuilding project. Will make a great series of videos to learn from. 👍
You'll figure it out, bro! Sound like a leaking valve or broken piston ring to me but who knows... Right?!! Waiting for the next video on this engine autopsy. Use the 1600 since it has not failed you. :)
Is this late April fool's video Greg? Sorry to hear about your engine. These damn engines are getting more and more expensive by the day. Hope it's a simple fix. 🤞
I'm interested in what went wrong as well. If I was a betting man, I would guess that you have a cylinder head issue, and your bottom end might be solid.
Exactly the same here same piston I just took the heads and pistons out and find the burnt piston i just pick up a new set at AA performance you can get a discount of 15% in their website unfortunately you just missed the special they have for the holiday
MAN I did not want to hear that, I have been having carb issues with my 1600 single pprt. Today i was looking for a missing distributer an came across a carb i didn't know i had. It is a 30 pic3 , i had just bought a rebuild kit yeaterday for a 30 pic2 which turned out to be bad. This 30 pic 3 works Vonderful. I finaly am not fouling out my plugs.
I think you broke a ring or have lower end issues. You were saying that oil pressure would drop when it gets warm so that is where I would suspect the failure to occur. The stock chamber is fairly deep on a VW head. Usually you will run into valve retainer to guide clearance problems before you run into valve to piston clearance problems ( unless the head was fly cut deeper). But we will only know when you take it apart. As for what to put in it, what is the simplest and runs the best? Probably the 1600 LOL, it's just temporary until you get the 1800 fixed anyways right. Hope it is a simple fix and you are back on the road soon.
Sorry about your engine. I think it was these aa piston being to thin on the bottom part. My idea is bore the case to 94's and use 92's piston with thicker wall's for heat and go back VW 69 counterweigh crankshaft with a vw flywheel 8 dowel for the dirt. That give's you 1835. And hard to break. I've had put my VW on hold because my 3 1/2 granddaughter came to live with me so I'm in redo my house for her, so much for retirement.
Holy moly, man that sucks. I have a question, you say cam has 500 lift, is this with 1.25 rockers, or the 1.4. Curious to know, i wonder if you punch a hole in piston. I did that exact thing on a sm chev, back in the day at 6k. Lots of blue smoke out tail pipe. Before I could shut it down, it tore up the cylinder wall, all junk, real heartbreak Hope all is not my nightmare. Sorry to hear buddy, patiently waiting for the diagnosis. Good luck
The Engle FK-7 is .357 at the cam, which means .446 with 1.25 rockers and .500 with 1.4 rockers, but most 1.4 rockers I've seen measure out to 1.45-1.48, which means it may be lifting .517-.528
@@bedlamite42 agree, the numbers rarely check out straight out of the box - and errors are cumulative. so many people seem all too happy to let chance run the show and then they're shocked when it goes to shit. all the 'buy a bunch of parts and throw it together without measuring or checking anything, i'll just assume it works' builds make me laugh. that's why we degree cams, set correct valve geometry, check the springs etc etc. don't know the full history of this particular engine but it seems like it's all over the place. these engines are tough but eventually something has to give.
I am so very sad that this happened to your engine EZGZ. The 74X88 1800 has been my dream engine for a long time now and I followed your build. My 74mm crank, 5.325 rods and flywheel are fully balanced and my 88mm barrels & pistons arrived from AA last week.

Stay safe my friend
It all works out in the end.. ...
I'm sad to hear that EZ GZ , now I'm looking at my 1800 with questions and fear 😨. Stay blessed and strong.
Don't worry. Just be aware that higher performance comes at a price.
My bet is valve to piston. Chipped the valve and the chip took out the rings and cylinder wall.
If I win I get an autographed EZGZ picture.

I'll take a guess it was something simple like a double filled the oil or breather box was full and then dumped down the carb. Just a guess

Plasti gauge on #2 main the rest are full circle
TheEZGZ clarification: place some plasti gage on top of the piston, assemble the head, hand crank the engine thru a cycle of valve operation, disassemble head, measure plasti gage to determine how close valve is to piston at full lift.

Welcome to my World. More Power!!!
Going to see the answer in your next video's , but I also put my money on a valve hitting a piston during revving ... , what a bummer ...
Never happened. Valve guide got loose, fell down the to the valve, I was playing the how will this engine rev and the valve guide broke into peaces, got sucked into the cylinder, destroyed the piston and head as well as bent the connecting rod.

Waiting for the next video on this engine autopsy.
Use the 1600 since it has not failed you. :)

Do you have dual springs on the valves?
I did for 20 years but took them off. Daaaaahhhhh over 5k ya need them

@@bedlamite42 agree, the numbers rarely check out straight out of the box - and errors are cumulative. so many people seem all too happy to let chance run the show and then they're shocked when it goes to shit. all the 'buy a bunch of parts and throw it together without measuring or checking anything, i'll just assume it works' builds make me laugh. that's why we degree cams, set correct valve geometry, check the springs etc etc. don't know the full history of this particular engine but it seems like it's all over the place. these engines are tough but eventually something has to give.
No problem, you will do it
Better 😍
Pull out and make new video… and see why happen that
God and nice EZGZ
I think I can, I think I can, said the little red engine......

If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is. Put your 1775 back in, then you can take your time with the stroker.
already done :-)

I'll turn it around and make it better. :-)
Valves smashed the piston
