Remember, they have the paper cardboard gaskets for these! Or you can use a one time only metal crush gasket. I use permatex aviation sealer, use what you feel is best. I forgot to show it in the video
Do you use a sealer on the metal gaskets?
@@michaelrobinson1945 I didn’t use any type of sealer on the metal gaskets.
If anyone is wondering about the studs / nut size they are M8x1.25x38MM (Ref. P/N: N144438, N14-443-8)
I only know because i just stripped the threads on mine and need a tap. >_< engine had a bolt instead of a stud on the one I'm working on.
Btw, thanks for such a detailed video. I'll be sure to check out your other vids. I have a feeling I can learn a LOT from you. Greetings from Ohio USA
Great Instruction Thank you! Bought a new inlet manifold and needed to verify the positioning behind the bolt.
Thanks this vid helped me a lot could not tell why intakes moved until I seen this vid
You’re very welcome, and thank you for being here. I’ll actually be doing a cooling tin installation video coming up next. And talking about the intake gaskets.
I got an 75 baja bug I've been working
@@jackfrost6057 I’ve actually never done a Baja yet. I have another beetle coming in here that I will be doing after I’m done with this current project. I’m really considering it.
Good stuff as always! I love the tips you give, they will prevent me from making mistakes down the road.
Thanks very much, I am glad you’re enjoying the channel. Lots more to come of course.
You make it look so easy. I have to put stuff on and take it back off too many times. Great video!
Oh trust me, I seldom edit stuff out. But when I realized I forgot the sealer for the alternator stand, I had to take it back apart. I wasn’t happy. 😁
Good stuff, thanks for doing the video. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks John!! Please see my pinned topic, I forgot to show the aviation sealer since I didn’t use a gasket
Thank you so much for that video
Great tips in putting in the intake. I use silicone spray to get the boots on. Great job, can’t wait to see the rest.
Thanks so much appreciate that. Yes silicone spray works very well also. Nice and slippery.
Good details, I done this install many times, never thought of doing a video on the process. It was not due to thinking it would not help someone; 99% of the time it was due to my limited time with being on my feet I wanted to get it done.It takes time to do a how to video verse a What I did video. I guess that why my videos are what i plan to do and show the end results. Thanks for sharing Slade.
Thanks Dan I appreciate that. And hope that you’re doing well. I see you’re back into the groove, just take your time. Yes it does take more time when you’re filming, then when you’re not.
Nice one Slades👍
Thanks so much I truly appreciate that!
another great video. good job on the explanation.
Thank you Very Much!!
Big help thanks man!
Thank you Brandon! I hope these videos are helpful.
Cool, been waiting to see duel port install👍
Thanks Tim!! These are like playing with Legos. 😁
They do fit really good. German engineering👍
German engineering is amazing. It kind of always has been.
Nice video.
Thank you very much, and thanks for taking the time to comment.
It's getting there. Firing up soon.
Almost there, I keep saying that and realize I have other stuff to do on the car still. Thanks so much for being here.
It seems like a step by step process but I know I can’t do it, 😂! Great work my friend, keep it up, y’all stay safe!
You crack me up my friend. I so enjoy your videos I do want you to know that. I hope that you’re staying safe my friend. Get the gifts ready for that grandbaby!
@@SladesVWBeetle the gifts 🎁 are all ready, 😂!
Great video - I was planning on swapping my solex 30 pict 2 carb over to a 34 pict 3 on my 1600 tp engine - would I need to change the intake manifold for this? Thanks in advance and all the very best from Southampton UK 🇬🇧 🙂
VW friend of mine said to put a light skim coat of grease on the intake manifold gaskets so they dont stick to the metal and you dont have to scrape em off each time. Great vid the engine looks like it will be gem!
Great tip thank you!
I always use black axle grease on my carborators gaskets creates a good vacuum seal and easy to remove and use again. Never thought about maniflod ends; but I can see how it would work .
Thanks!
Slade…I have a piece I don’t know where it goes. 67 beetle…can I show you a picture of it?
Oh my goodness, I just saw this! Please send me a email:

Great video - Always wondering what operations can be done on the car and ONLY if the engine is pulled. May be a good point to add to let us poor guys know - what not to try and what is doable.
I have 1974 beetle with tons of hesitation - been through carb, fuel pump, now going for timing.
I have a few questions:
1. Is there a good simple diagram to confirm I have all hoses in the right places?
2. I notice another 1/2" port (top right) on fan shroud - what is that for?
3. I have a metal tube (maybe 3/8") coming up from the deck plate (drivers side to left of dist) and lands in a lil pot (with a lil nipple on top of it) mounted just behind the carb. I have not seen this on any bugs any videos. Is there a way I can send a photo?
4. Can I do intake seal replacements on the car? Wondering if that maybe my vacuum leak.
5. Will timing just go out?
Thanks again - great videos
1974 models had EGR, that’s what the extra pipe is for. Block it off if it’s bad. Can cause idle issues. Look up EGR on The Samba for more info. The port on the fan shroud is purge line for charcoal canister for the evaporation system. If that sYstem is hooked up you’ll get a lot less gas smell in your garage. Sadly many who don’t understand what the system does take it off. Same with EGR, if it’s working it helps highway mileage.
Nice looking engine , is that a HF engine stand ?
Thanks Jason! Yes HF stand, but borrowed the VW adapter from a friend
I saw “Frannie” struggling to get an OEM muffler on a 69… she had a terrible time getting the manifold heater flanges to line up to the muffler. I bet if she loosened the slotted stud nut and hose clamps, the manifold would have moved enough to make it easier!
Yes if that area would’ve been loosened up a little bit, it would’ve made things much easier. I guess everyone does stuff different. But I don’t like to struggle, or teach ways of struggling.
Does anyone know the theory behind the slot cut in the manifold between the ports? Please don’t tell me it’s to balance the flow! I want to know how it actually works.
Another great video Slades. Why did you not end up using those intake boots? The previous owner of mine provided me with some from JBugs. Shouldn’t you use anti seize on the threads of the manifold bolts too? That’s what I’ve been taught to do.
The ones from Jbugs, Felt very thin and flimsy. I didn’t like the way they went on. Usually you end up with a leak. Wolfsburg west sells the thick black German ones. They were so much better. You should use anti-seize whenever you can. I seldom use them on the intake bolts.
@@SladesVWBeetle that’s good to know. I’m pretty cheap so I might try the ones he provided me first 😄. Yes I always use anti seize on intake or exhaust bolts usually and spark plugs too.
Hey Hector,
Congrats on monetizing, you work hard and you deserve it!!
Thank you so much my friend I truly appreciate the kind words. I was actually shocked that it happened. 😁
@@SladesVWBeetle good things come to good people, you are a great person, therefore, you shouldn’t have been surprised, y’all take care!
Thank you so much!! That was very nice of you to say my friend! It’s easy to see your a sweet person! God Bless my friend! Stay Safe!
Thanks so much for making this! So no gasket between the case and the alternator stand?
Thanks Jerry! You can use a paper/cardboard gasket. I used a metal crush type one so I used aviation permatex. I’ve never had an issue. But some prefer the gaskets. I forgot to show in the video I pulled it back off and used the permatex.
Mine hasn't got paper and it's leaking, I didn't do the build 😊
Some use a metal crush gasket. I like also using aviation permatex
Good video, Slade. I use the metal gaskets at the heads, however (they transfer heat better), but the paper works. Also, I wonder if tightening the center manifold nut is a good idea before installing the heat exchanger and muffler, since those heat riser ends can be a bitch to line up with the muffler flanges sometimes. Waiting to tighten the center manifold nut and manifold boots gives you wiggle room when installing the heat riser flanges to the muffler flanges.
I like your idea of keeping the carb/manifold flange level, too. I never gave that much thought (just lucky, I guess).
How you been???
I used the metal ones a couple years ago, and I had some problems. But of course after that it got lodged into my brain I didn’t want to use them again. But I know a lot of people do!
I never tried to tighten the nut for the slot on the manifold last. That kind of makes me wonder, because I had to fight with my heat risers. Not real bad but enough to annoy me.
I really don’t know how much it matters, with keeping the carb perfectly level. But after reading it over the years I do it just for the heck of it. I hope you’re staying safe my friend.
We’ve been well, thank you. Just waiting for the vaccine, so we can get out and live again. New got a greenhouse and since the climate here is fairly nice in winter, we’re spending time with that.
For Christmas, I asked for a complete new TMI Oatmeal carper kit for the bug. I’m still wondering if I should use Quick Roof/Peel and Seal, or spend the extra money and go for Dynamat. Chris Valone says the Quick Roof works as well-and doesn’t stink like asphalt, so I’m thinking of saving the bucks and going that route. I’ll also put some 1/4 inch padding over the Quickroof-in the luggage compartment and wheel wells only.
I don’t know how much waiting to tighten the the center manifold helps, but any help with lining up the riser ends to the muffler is okay by me. They never seem to line up perfectly.
I’m confused with the vaccine. I hear it’s almost ready, then...not yet! This has been a terrible year!!
I used the TMI kit and was very happy with the outcome. I think the quality was fine. Some people say to buy sewfine, but I think the TMI suited my needs perfectly well.
I used the quick roof, and worked great! I did two layers on my floor, for more sound deafening action!
I know someone else that used it and no odor. In my video I showed using a hair dryer to make it shape easier, worked great! And also, you figure I was using a hairdryer and making it warm, shape and mold it. And there was no odor at all.
Good to hear about the Quickroof. I’ll use it. As far as the vaccine goes, I figure it’ll be available for me around February or March. April or June for my wife and daughter.
I like it, I bought mine from Amazon because I didn’t want to go to the store.
Is there a reason why it’s only available to certain people? And then others have to wait? I know that’s a dumb question and probably being stupid.
i was telling the screen, get that red boot on there! of course, it wasn't going to matter because you ultimately went with the black boots.
Haha!! I bought the black ones from Wolfsburg West. Those other ones are total garbage! I hope you’ve been well
Scotty!
@@SladesVWBeetle doing well. hope your crew is ok too. i've been wondering about ezgz who was caughing a lot and hasn't posted in 3 months.
I had noticed he hasn’t posted in a while!! I like watching him, great personality! I hope he’s okay!! Doing well so far. Besides stress, but I guess a lot are hang that. I’m gonna try and figure out how to get a hold of him and see if he’s okay
you should put a level on it!
Well just needs to be close. I wasn’t sure who needed to know that part.
What is the motorcode? AD?
It a 1600, AD codes cases were VW engine cases that were sold from VW but never issued in an actual production vehicle.
All are dual-relief cases with 100mm oil passages.
Is paper better than metal?
I prefer the cardboard style ones. Some prefer metal, kinda like an oil debate 🤦🏼♂️
@@SladesVWBeetle They are new cylinder heads (broke the old one trying to put in valve guides). I sanded the bottom of the intake manifold dual port tubes and so the surfaces are nice. I will use metal as I have them. I was curious.
@@michaelknight2897 The metal work. They’re a one time use/torque. But they’ll work
Looking good bub! Did you delete your Facebook
Thank you!! I deactivated just temporarily, I’ll be back there shortly. I needed a break from all the crap on there.
