Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you enjoy this first start of the 1972 914 Type 4 Engine. My buddy Darrin rebuilt this engine for me. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Muy buenos tus videos amigo saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🌎🇺🇾🇺🇾
One good thing about this channel no ads or sponsorship. Just clean fun and always learning something new.
Those old brush headers ..??
Does it have hydraulic lifters?
What a ripper of a motor! Can’t wait to see it installed. Great job VW Darin!
Skinny VW Darin wow 👏
You are best!
Thanks Dale! Darrin does great work!
Don't you think that Darrin looks a bit like JJ Cale when he was a little younger? I just imagine Darrin building an engine and whistling "call me the breeze" happily 😄
NICE! If I were you, I would put this engine needs to go into the Ghia and scrap that UGLY 914! The Ghis motor will find a home eventually. Do a nice oval window or even a split window. The Ghia DESERVES this engine and it would be FUN! Be safe, stay healthy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
was thinking the same.
I understand it needs to go in the 914 BUT would be nice to put it in the Ghia until all the body work is done on the 914
Nice job guys
Why is it so smokey ?
Motor sounds good. You can really hear that thing wanting to rev compared to a stock type 4....It has a cam and you can feel it want to go into the higher RPM unlike a stock motor.
Hey Mike! Yes, it sounds like it has room to roar! =)
Just a thought, CT, run it by Darin first. Finish the Ghia and put that T4 in it, then have Darin build a 2.2L or 3.0L flat 6 Porsche engine for the 914, for when you restore it. Of course that means adding the appropriate bracing, suspension, and 914-6 wiring loom, but then you’ll have a 914-6 tribute. You could also change your mind when the 914 is done, and put the 6 in the Ghia, and the 1.7 back in the 914, at the end.
Just some food for thought.
Skinny VW Darrin wow 👏
You are the best 👌 motor came out Be u ty full great job 👏 🙌 👍 and thanks again CT 😊 😀
Thanks Luis! =)
I think the joy of starting the engine is the same throughout the world.
エンジンが掛かった時の嬉しさは、全世界共通だと思います。
CT only one ting i got to say.. YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thanks for making me so happy 😊 you make my day.
Glad to see them still around. Drive type 4 bud years when I was young
Nice. Very nice. Glad to see you back on the 914. It deserves it. I hope you do many more videos on this vehicle.
Thanks Keith! More to come! =)
Nice!, another sweet engine from Vw Darrin 👍.
Thanks 👍
About to start my 1600 build for my 74 excited may film it and upload it
Just great to see you and Darrin succeed! Thanks for all that you guys do!
I miss my 1st Porsche. A 1970 914-6. Fast little car. Sadly I sold it to a friend that traded it for a 1966 Cadillac Coupe Deville. The bastard had it planned all the way. What a friend~~~~!
All that smokes a bit of a worry, 🤔 sweet job though 👍🏻
My 914 used to run that smooth, but ever since I accidentally hit 2nd instead of 4th at full RPM, she’s never run smooth since. I don’t have the time or funds to fix it right now. So my advice for you, CT, from that lesson is; when you get to restoring the 914, be damn sure to get the transmission and linkage, spot on, possibly upgrade to the 915 transmission instead of the 901 they came with, or at least go with the side shift 901. Thanks for some 914 content. Congratulations on the motor. Tell Darin, a fan says hi, and thanks for saving and making a stock 1.7 T4 live again.
Happy New Year!
A bent valve or broken valve spring, no big deal
@@gtbarnes11 if I had the wherewithal to take the engine out, you’re right, it would be “no big deal”, but I have no place to do that work, not enough money to rent a place to do that work, if I could even find a place to rent to do the work, and I don’t have the tools or specific knowledge to do the work myself, so I’d be paying someone to do it for me, and where I live that ain’t cheep, so for me, it actually a bit of a big deal. Would not have happened, had I addressed the transmission linkage issues ahead of time, and had I not lapsed in attention in that moment of shifting.
Great work Darrin. Always the best from you. CT it’s starting to look great. Can’t wait to see it in the road.
Thanks man!
I was getting a bit nervous when you were revving that sucker on the 3 wheeled engine stand. I dont use those anymore because I have had them fall over.
And YES keep Rusty, rusty, not rust free. Just make solid running gear, fix the holes from behind with rust colored patches for water tightness, then clear coat or semigloss vinyl wrap, to keep the rust from spreading and protect the patina.
Yeah, pour some acid on it, maybe shoot some holes in it, Hell, hit it with a couple 12ga shotgun blasts, then take it out and crash it into some junked cars, maybe roll it over a couple of times. Break a couple of the windows. Give it some "history". Then rub it with linseed oil.
No such thing as too much freakin "patina".
Awesome engine build. Hope you get to enjoy it on the road sometime soon.
Cool build and 1st start. Darrin missed the opportunity to say "it ain't got no gas in it" - Sling Blade
NICE JOB Darrin👍 I had forgotten about the old 914. Glad for the update on it CT😊 Can’t wait to see you get to drive it🤩 Darrin will do a GREAT job on the motors for the Swamp Dragon and the Gaia😃
Thanks Michael! Yes, Darrin is a great engine builder! Thanks for believing in me my friend! =)
Happy New Year CT, Cool to see the 914 type 4 running. Darrin will have it smokeless soon like he said. Just some minor stuff to fix. It runs great. I see now why your skipping around a bit. Just don't go get anything else and tear completely apart till you make forward progress on what you have. Putting on new brakes on the 914 and doing a test drive with the new engine won't take that long and it is making progress on your current projects👍
Thanks Tim! Yes, I might spend a few hours on the 914 and get it back on the road. Main goal is The Ghia and The Dragon. Thank you!
This video brings back memories of my 914-6. It was a temperamental critter. But when it ran good, it ran real good.
Rust in engine bay seems to be a common problem with the 914. Body panels around the edges prone to rust too. Electrical issues too frequent. The German car uses those little funky fuses that will blow if you looked at them wrong. Rust a problem in front trunk on the floor, the hidden head light can be temperamental. Car is great going around corners.
Wow! My first car was the 914 2.0. All rusted but I still miss it. Great to see the engine finished!
Thanks Mac!
Sounds great, awesome work Darrin.
Happy New Year CT!
Thanks Gary!
Thanks ! YO You should Rebulid your engines your self ! It is a lot easier to do than you think ! You ben doing a lot harder stuff ! My first engine rebulid was a 1942 flat head cad V8 never rebbulid a engine before ! Man when i first started it was grate ! You can do it !!!! ✌😎
Thanks Mike! Those old flat heads are cool! One day! =)
Awesome job! Very glad it’s coming along. Wishing you both and your families a great 2022!
Thanks my friend! You as well! Happy New Year!
sounds smooth and tight CT, good job Darrin, thats a piece of jewelry right there!
All Around! You Did the Right Thing, For SURE!!
This is the engine no one thought would run again! Basically replaced everything but the case....
Awesome Job Darrin and CT Vw Darrin looks great!
Man, It's like it just came out of the factory 😍
It certainly produces a lot of smoke for such a small engine. Hopefully you get it fixed.
Looks like one of the oil ring /expander is not correct on one piston
Way too much smoke for a rebuild, even using break in oil. I must assume the heads were done, eliminating valve guides as a culprit, so one or more rings is misaligned/broken in one or more of the new jugs. Way too much smoke.
Yeah somethings going on
Yeah I thought it was the new muffler at first but it never stopped I don't think
Nice video can't wait to see that car going down the road. Rusty looking good as well!
Thanks Thad!
Awesome my first car my dad bought us as kids was 1959 Dune buggy with fiberglass body, short pan original 36hp 6 volt, built several engines after learning how to work on that car as a kid. That dune buggy had a box of parts that came with it, I remember looking up the parts, in the box I found some Okrasa intake manifolds, but the heads didn't come with dune buggy when we bought it....
Thats great now. God and competent guy who did the job for you.
Man UA-cam dropped the ball and didn't notify me of this👿 man that is one sharp motor👍😎
Yes, they do that sometimes....Thanks man!
cool ct nice rebuild, darrin really knows his stuff..
Great job rebuilding that engine. It sounds really nice and quiet! 👍
Happy New Year! 🥳🎆
Sounds incredible!!! This engine is a beast! Congrats!!!!
Thanks! =)
Darrin is awesome, he makes your videos even better.
It’s alive!!!! 🖤 Great video! 🖤
That Darrin knows his shit. I’d love to have him rebuild my 1600 engine🙂
Yes he does! =)
You might want to hold up the fuel can above the pump until it's primed or put the pump on the floor.
Kool Deal 😎 Type 4 sounds and looks great. It's hard to believe that's the same engine. Amazing work.
CT and Darrin I enjoy the video. I do not know a lot about these motors and would have like to hear a little more on you break in process when doing it.
Those Weber DCOE’s are tuff to get tuned right! Your lucky you got Darin to help ya out. I’m still tryna get mine right
Yes they are and yes I am! =)
Shure enough looks great, everything clean, rebuilt or new! Sounds really great, too! Now for one to go in the Karma Ghia when it is done! I remember how much work you two did in assembling this engine!
Man what a nice build love how smooth the engine runs. I had a 72 914/4 and drove it everywhere fun little car to drive. Miss my 914/4 I would like to have an engine like the type 4 to put into another vw bug they run great if done right and taken care of. Great job guys really great job.
I would want a pin or bolt on the stand I think but very cool project. I love the simplicity of these engines.
Nice to rusty and vw darrin did a nice job on your rebuild. Sounds awesome 👏👏. Get wait to see you put that engine back in the car.👍👍👍
Great video! Feel like we all need a VW Darrin in our toolboxes !
Thanks Paul! Yes, Darrin is amazing!
As usual you made a good job. I hope for a better New Year to you (and your boss mr. Buster).
If you get good enough at (tig?) welding, we've seen other tubes where people just weld blobs to the rust holes and smooth it over. Ought to be a fun project for a rainy weekend...
Man I been waiting for that. Thanks CT
Hello Happy new year from Japan.
I always enjoying your video.
You are nice rebilder! Have a nice year with your family and friends.
Alternator is disconnected. That can melt the solder and cook the diodes. Electricity is created but has nowhere to go.
Happy New Year To You And Darrin
Thanks Alvin! Happy New Year!
Beautiful engine poor ol rusty 😥
Vacuometer genius darren
Get Darrin to help you and start welding!
That could happen! =)
I had a 2 litre with a mild cam, big valve heads and dual 44mm IDF webers in my bus for several years. The engine ran well and gave me decent service over 60k+ miles. There were two characteristics that I hated about that motor though: In my view, the pistons/chambers were too large and the fuel never fully burned on every cycle, and you could never get the mixture perfect with those carbs. I remember reading writings by Gene Berg who said that the internal passages of those carbs were not drilled right for the type 4 motor and I found he was right. I should have bought a set of Berg DCN carbs for it, but they didn't look as sexy as the IDF's. Looks like this crew is having the same issue. This motor is too young to smoke like that. Assuming that is not oil smoke, the mixture is all wrong and that is tons of wasted fuel.
Ficando show, parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho. 👏👏
Achei que só eu assistia o canal dele kkkk.. CT e muito daora
A thing of beauty 👌
Excellent video CT :) also Darrin VW did super job on that motor also sounds like brand new not rebuilt and so pretty too ! Agree 100% Darrin say need do next and will happen for sure CT 👍! Also Happy New Year January 2 2022!
Thanks Andrew!👍
I hope you turn the exhaust around when you turn the linkage around. It'll be tough to fit that in the car with the exhaust facing forward.
Bonne année 2022 pour vous et votre ami mr Darrin vous faite une bonne équipe encore une fois super
je suis situé en haute Savoie en France j'ai travaillé dans la machine spéciale et matèriel pour prévenir des avalanche dont un appareil vendu dans massif du Colorado U S A
Bonne soirée
Cordialement
Very nice.
It's a great looking engine. Too bad you won't be able to see it.
I love this lovely green plant between your Porsche and your bike!! Can you make a clip only about this green plant? :-)
Yes, they plant is amazing. Might have to do that. =)
The pump can't lift that high. Raise the gas can off the floor.
Shouldn't there be some kind of pin or bolt thru the holes in that engine frame pivot?
Put that engine in the Ghia !!!!
I'd kill for a garage that size, here in the UK the average garage is about the size of where you have the kids bikes !
Oh man...have you considered moving? I appreciate the space I have but I still want more. We are thinking about moving to the country to have more land like my brother's farm. I feel like space slows me to be more creative and have a better work flow.
Runs strong and looks great!
Don’t you need to run in the cam at 2000 rpm for the first 20 minutes?
That thing runs like a sewing machine! Nice job guys. Question. Are you guys running a light 2-stroke mix here? Looks a little smoky. Or is that just because the piston rings need to bed in with the cylinder walls? I'd love to get the engine out of my project K20 suburban and rebuild it. or my project K10 pickup, Interestingly my 57 chevy is the only project that really doesn't need a rebuild, lol.
CT, good to see Darrin again, wow he is really loosing weight 👍👍
Saw free standing battery charger in the background of the video, what do you think of it?
Btw, why is it smoking so much, is too rich 🤔
Looks like white smoke to me; maybe oil. Hope nothing’s broken.
Great job guys, Sounds great Darrin.
Leanordo Da Vinci was considered first an artist, then an engineer. What is your opinion Dr J A C K L E G ????
Makes sense....=)
CT can youtell more more about those headers and exhaust you have on this T4?
and the continuation of the restoration of the karman ????, we never see the end of your projects, what a shame !!!!
Hey Ricky! Have faith my friend! More to come! =)
I think this is the engine for the Karmann ghia🤔😂
the engine looks and sounds so good
not seen the porsche in a while! Also i agree it would be good to redo the lettering on rusty then keep the bodywork rusty keep up the good work CT!
Thanks Alex!
I've never seen headers like those what and where can I get a set? Nice job!
Heater boxes with no box :)
That's correct! =) The box was rusted real bad and had tons of dirt and oil packed in them.
That motor sounds awesome, maybe you should do the same to the Karman Ghia
Cool rebuild and nice running and responce
Alright! Nice Motor
Good engine
Bonito trabajo pero...... crees que los escapes están bien montados?
Fuel injection works best on these motors, I have a 2.0 with f.i. it runs awesome that motor sounds uneven and lumpy, no insult intended just doesn't sound right
I agree the fi works best if it is all working properly. I wanted to have one with carbs because it looks so much better and Darrin knows how to sync the carbs. The 2.0 I pulled out of the 1976 914 will be fi. This one is out of a 1972 914 and it's a 1.7. It's sounds much better now.
Here is the update. ua-cam.com/video/6G6uYnxiS0k/v-deo.html
Sweet motor, should run strong. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Sounds good! Good job guys!
Thanks Terry!
Happy New year !!!☃️
Awesome!
Happy New Year !!!!
I was thinking just what Darren said, ditch the porsche & put the motor in the ghia. That would be great.
Looks and sounds great but what's with all the billows of smoke ..with 20-50, no less...did someone forget the rings? 😁
