Why do engine projects start off with a growing list of tasks? We tear into the tired old VW engine to see what we’re dealing with, and quickly find repairs to be made. The long block gets cleaned up, we remove a broken screw with the welder, modify the oil pump, and learn once again that sometimes the old worn out parts are better than new parts. Sigh. Come along for the tragedy and triumph of working on old stuff!

Great video brother! Crazy that the new piston is smaller....I don't understand why they can't make perfect parts with all the tech advancements we've had in the last 50 years. Awesome job man!
Thanks CT, it's always great to hear from you! I've been watching the truck camper rescue videos- that was a chore getting that thing out of the woods! Looking forward to see what is done with it. In regards to the pistons, yes! I'm sure they _could_ make good ones and I hope there is someone out there doing so. I'd much rather get my next set from them. I hope all is well at CT's Garage. Thanks for checking out the video!
That intro monologue was inspiring!
Hey Adam Mcmellon, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the positive feedback and for checking out the video!
That intro was off the chain ! 🤯! Ok, now back to the video ...
Thanks Jason, glad you liked it! Seemed like a good opportunity to do a VO intro; it's been a while. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
Another video that is fun to watch. I have absolutely no clue what the heck you are doing or saying most of the time but it is entertaining. I’ve never used a micrometer. For the ignorant, ( me ) it would have been nice to show me how to read it while you were ”up close and personal” in the video shot. I’m impressed that you can think upside down when I can’t think right side up. Looking forward to see what’s next.
Hey Ken, thanks for checking out the video! Great idea- it might have been cool to show how the micrometer is read on the first one and then carry on from there. I expect it'll come up again, so I'll keep that in mind. I hope you're having a great weekend!
Your narration voice reminds of jr. high science class documentaries
🇨🇦👍
Ha! That's a good one, 1! Hopefully you're thinking of the more interesting ones and not some of those I remember sitting through... Thanks for checking out the video!
Haptic Garage Water Beetles
Not sure I saw that one, but the name is really confusing to an aircooled VW guy. (Get it? See what I did there? Water Beetles. Funny.)
did anyone tell you you sound like tom bodet in motel 6 commercials we,ll keep the light on for ya .keep on keeping on good videos!
Hey jessie4818! It's come up a time or two- I remember those ads and the funny violin music they used. Never stayed there, but will never forget the ads. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for being here!
Sr. I wish I had a neighbor like you...or that I were your neighbor to learn as much as I could. My bug's engine suddenly decided to pee the oil right through the crankshaft seal, upon further inspection I saw there was a BIG endplay...anyway, I started saving for an engine rebuild...then pandemic struck and I lost my job. There went my hopes to fix my bug. Long story short, I found a very cheap engine with no end play, but nasty as hell and I decided to buy it with idea to clean it and put it in place of the other...and well, just as I started working on it...a fear of screwing things up overcame me and it's been there sitting for almost 3 weeks now. I miss driving my bug and I really don't want to take him to a garage because I really would love to learn how to fix him myself...and well...its either fixing or eating.
Sorry to hear of your challenges Дитэр Перез, just know this will pass and better times are ahead. Keep yourself fed and the VW will be there for you when the time is right. Until then, stay positive and thanks for checking out the video!
the oil valves seal on the end. when they are forced open they dump directly into the sump. it doesn't matter if they have extra side clearance. cheers
Thanks for watching Dave, and cheers to you too!
Your videos are looking really really good! Nice work on everything!
Props on the self control to not go overboard with the tear down...
Thanks Dream Wrench, admittedly this is the first time sticking with that plan. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, and keep the updates on your Squareback coming!
Hi Im impressed, you are doing great ,I'm sure a lot of your followers are learning a great deal of your mechanic skills Nice video and well narrated.Greetings HCS
Thanks Hubertus, always great to hear from you! Hopefully I'm not leading anyone astray... Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching the video!
Another great video sir !! Some useful tips and yeah aftermarket stuff is pretty much awful !!
Thanks vwcoco, the struggle is real with new parts! Glad to see some good progress and new arrivals for you- keep it up!
Hi Haptic, Great session, always a lot of surprises with the engines but it`s always double to fix the issues.Greetings HCS.
Thanks Hubertus, was glad to get through this part of the project without anything going badly wrong. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
Happy Fourth Of July !!
Can't wait to hear it rumble to life.
Meaning no disrespect, but when I learned to surface something on
a surface plate, I was taught to make a figure eight motion.
It makes a smoother surface.
Keep up the good work and videos'
Hey Steven W, great tip! I usually sand for a while, then rotate the part in my hand 90 degrees, then repeat. I like the figure 8 idea; I think the big thing is to randomize to average out any irregularities in the work piece and/or our grip on the part... we probably aren't holding it as evenly as we think! Thanks for sharing the info, I'll keep this in mind the next time I need to flat a part. I'm looking forward to hearing this thing run too! Thanks for watching and being a part of the channel!
A suggestion, which I think you will likely do anyway. You mentioned that you didn’t want to dig into the long block, but taking the rockers off and re- torquing the heads if definitely worth doing. Cheers Richard
Thanks Richard, that's a great suggestion and I totally agree. The rockers will be coming off anyway (stay tuned), so that will be my chance. I've been a little apprehensive about pulled studs because this case has the larger 10mm studs without case savers; they're notorious for pulling out. It'll take a little courage, but now is the time. Thanks for the input!
Haptic Garage good point about the studs without case savers. This goes to your point about VWs needing lots of maintenance, pull a thread and on and on it goes. Love your approach
Yeah, it's a thing but still a good idea to check. Thanks for the support and here's hoping the approach pays off!
Haha, "We'll Run what we brung." Love the choice to discipline yourself to not go further than needed. It's opens up a can of worms. Also I never trust a mechanic unless they know how to use an analog Micrometer! Nice job!
Hey Skater Stimm, I'm glad you're on board with that decision; there's a big part of me that wants to fix everything I can no matter what, but the bigger picture seems to point this direction for this project. And +1 on the micrometer- couldn't do engine stuff without it!
Great video again!! Love them!!
Thanks Ramon, it's great to have you here!
I remember back in my 20's when i when through my 4 year tool & die schooling, the telescoping gauges were a challenge to use correctly. Then after we mastered using them , they opened a cabinet with bore gauages ...really. Oh the joy of aftermarket parts.. Good checks and tips with the welder getting those broken tin screws out. The first time i used that method was on a stud located on the bottom of the case for oil cover. cool saying.. Your method on the hub cap clips worked great thanks for sharing that method on how to remove old broken ones and install new clips
Ha! Sounds like an effective teaching method if not a little aggravating! It would have been great to study this formally; I'm sure your schooling continues to pay off today. Dial bore gauges are great, and the little ball type are cool too for smaller holes. The welding trick works great when it's necessary. A little risky, but effective! I'm glad you got the rivets installed successfully, thanks for the follow up. That one is kinda fun after you get the feel for it. Great to hear from you as always Dan!
Amazing what you find when you measure. A good lesson indeed and one I’ll be taking on board. Great video.👍
Well said Aussie Beatle, it's why we check everything! I'm glad you liked the video and as always, thanks for watching!
Love this series! BTW, has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Marty Stauffer?
GilmoreLion he also sounds like Tom Bodett from the motel 6 commercials 😂
Hey GilmoreLion, I'm glad you're enjoying Project Vandemic! It's been a lot of fun to share the progress and to hear from folks like you. Indeed, sounding like Marty Stauffer has been mentioned before- My apologies to Mr. Stauffer!
I've heard that one more often, and must also extend my apologies to Mr. Bodett. May have to do a spoof with these two likenesses at some point...
First like 👍🏻
That counts too!
First! 😁👍
Wow, that was almost instant! It's fitting- there may be a VW Jawbreaker shout out in this one...
Haptic Garage I just happened to launch UA-cam when I got the notification.
I remember those texts back and forth, I’m sorry to hear that I’m the voice of reason in your project 😂
As always you’re doing great with all of the details! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the shoutout as well 👍
@VWJAWBREAKER Yeah, times are dire... but seriously, thanks for the input and helping me reconnect with logic on that one. How silly would it have been to pull the heads looking for something that wasn't there? Of course, I would have probably found other issues but let's not talk about that... Right back atcha, thanks for all the support!
30 years ago ( plus ) replacement parts were better quality and anything not to spec wasn't sold to customers...but sadly we source our parts from places where quality isn't important or possible... So no suprise that new parts are imperfect. Should be expected nowadays where cheap price is the standard your only given.... Used to be different..and it could be if we returned to parts made in our continent ( North America )....
Yup. Shopping on price alone brings shoddy goods to the market. It's been impressive to see our hobby catch on to this fact over the last couple decades and increasingly prioritize results in their purchases.
