The sounds of that engine take me back to the 60's. The Dean of my school had a Beetle, and so did several of my friends. Driving one of these cars was such a unique experience, and repairing them was not such a challenge, because these were the days when automotive simplicity and straightforward thinking RULED. My college dorm neighbor across the hall found an a barn stored Porsche 911, had it towed to the dorm parking lot, and removed the engine, put it on top of a small wooden table in his room, then rebuilt it during the Winter Semester. By March or so, I was one of three or four guys who helped bring that Porsche engine down the fire escape stairs to place it in the car. It was a resounding success. Addendum: I forgot to mention, but I am sure many seasoned VW mechanics know, that Porsche engine was essentially a Beetle power plant. I did get to ride in that rebuilt Porsche. In fact, as I recall, from the college in Southern Maine to Foxboro, Massachusetts for the Thanksgiving vacation.
Looking at this video makes me think that this motor wasn't rebuilt. The case was never split, nor were the jugs replaced. I'm glad this thing ran and didn't even smoke, but it's not a surprise that it makes strange "noises".
