Good refresher, its been a long time since I helped my dad rebuild a VW engine so there is quite a lot of the steps that I forgot. My uncle taught me to use STP oil treatment as an assembly lube. Great Job!

Good job dude. Silverline bearings aren’t as good as they use to be. I’ve found the tang on the rod bearings need a slight file to fit into the groove properly so the rods don’t bind up. Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks! It’s been a few years since I’ve put a motor together. I assumed the Silverlines were still good. Who’s making better stuff now? I liked the Mahles but I couldn’t find another set. Ended up with Kolbenschmidts I think?
@@wickedwerks both of those are good, Kolbs if you can find them over silver lines. The engine I just did I had to use the silver lines and had to slightly file the tang… it’s all I could find locally. I didn’t record it due to being sick and I have plenty of engine vids in my playlists 😂
FYI to everyone:
Make sure the oil slinger faces the correct way. If not you’ll have issues…. Ask me how I know 😂
Pinning this 😂
@@wickedwerks oh joy 😂
Which way?
This is Taylor on a serious level , great video !
I can be serious when Ben isn’t around 😂 Thanks for watching! /T.
Finally I can see what "doing an engine split" looks like. Everybody mention it but trys to avoid it. I don't wrench, only watch the stuff.
Thats my boy right there! Mommy's proud of you!! Luv ya Tay!!
Seriously good, I don't know how you manage with a busted hand but man you do it well
Hey thanks 😂 luckily I got the pins out of my finger this week so I’m on to the next step of recovery.

Props to you for doing it practicly one handed 😊..but you got to pay the bills ..no choice 🎉

@@VWJawbreaker Feels that. Trying to film this build as much as I can so I never have to do it again 😂
Good series. I haven’t done a engine yet, but soon thanks for letting us fallow, along.
NOS, Kolbenschmidt, Metal Leve, Glyco, Mahle, rods & main bearings are the ones to use. New bearings now days can go either way, as you noticed.
Great video thanks you.
Thanks for watching!
Great job!
Thanks for watching!
Maybe I missed it but did you say you weighed and balanced the rods and caps off camera?
What's the book at 15:40 ??
