What a privilege to see two great videos within the last couple of weeks from Darin and Mustie, on how to bring back to life the old VW engines. Defo the UA-cam VW engine dream team.
God how I loved my old beetles back in the day. I threw a rod going over the Grapevine outside LA on New Years Eve, 1969. Managed to nurse it a few more miles to a restaurant parking lot. Tore it down before dawn, hitchhiked into town for parts, then came back and put it back together. Slept like a log that night. Next morning I was back on the road. Life and cars were simpler back then.
I am eagerly going to watch this progress. I'm kind of shocked you mentioned so much was worth salvaging. Every motor I've bought with water/moisture issues, that disassembled far easier than this.ended up having so much of the case at the sump being eaten away that I just disposed of it all.
Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming
I can always tell an experienced mechanic by condition of his tools and conditions of his forearms they look like mine after forty plus years of turning wrenches, never doubt that he can rebuild this four banger!
I watch multiple VW shop video producers channels. I have to say there are several times I wish I could spend a week working with them learning how to wrench VW's, especially the engines. Being a former aircraft mechanic I figure I could catch on.

I swear this has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouts to the guy pulling engine apart absolute legend #mrdontplay😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of love from England 🏴 🇬🇧
Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.
Just rewatching this one Darrin because I have an old one, I will be playing with soon. What ever happened to part 2 of this one or did you ever do one? I looked but didn't see it?
Good day Darrin. Great video. I have a 1600 VW and it’s leaking oil from the pulley and as far as I know they don’t have and gasket. And ideas to help me. And I have an single port, I thing it’s a 1600. Wanted to know if I could change the heads to a dual port. Tks.
Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated
That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share
The 1500 was a good engine that ran forever and was very durable. The 1600 dual port engine was the worst engine that Volkswagen ever made, and had reliability issues. The 1600 dual port engine was prone to have valves that would get sucked down I to the crankcase. My mother had both in two VW's. Her 1500 ran for 27 years, and was still going when she sold it. Her 1600 dual port was gone in 10 years, and she had to replace the engine three times.
@@ericknoblauch9195 There was no problem with the dual port 1600 engine itself. The problem was that the EPA called for tighter pollution standards in the years it was in service. The only way VW could meet those specs was to run the engine very lean. Since the oil cooler was more than 1/3 larger than that on the 1500 engine, it added more heat to that cylinder. I can't remember the cylinder number, but it was the drivers side front cylinder. Even the larger cooling fan and larger cooling shroud could not compensate for the increased temperatures from running the engine so lean. I rebuilt air cooled VW engines when I had my garage, and ran them my self on the street and as dune buggies. My favorite engine was the dual port 1600 with a high lift cam and a big bore kit, along with a 2bbl Solex carb. The engine would rev to 6500 rpm with zero problem and never dropped a valve seat because it wasn't run dead lean. The 1600 had a vastly improved oiling system over the 1500 and all smaller CC engines, along with stronger connecting rods, a better oil cooler and a vastly improved crankshaft.
It's definitely not a 40 Hp, the manifold tells U that. The crank was updated the last rebuild to the "X" drilled crank. Probably an "F" or early "h" case. Most likely a 1600.
I've a dual port type 1 engine that was started once when picked up from shop that did a complete rebuild to it. But now 6years later this engine has been left outside in the car that it was put in after rebuild. I'm putting it in my 67 beetle it won't start, it has a petronics distributor, could this be a problem. So any advice on my situation. Any help should be appreciated. Thank You. Mr. Procrastinate.
this was fun ! can i ask the address of your shop i am in inverness not too far really ,id like me and the wife ride there i d have a few questions . thank you
I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966
Love the Comments and the Jokes when i was a Teenager i played around with and had a few AirCooled VWs a good job in our small town for many of my Gearhead Buddies was working at our local AutoParts store we used to wait for one of the guys we knew fromHigh School to state working at the Auto parts store for their training we would call the place to hopefully get him on the phone at the parts Counter and our Prank was to get the price on a Radiator for a 1970 VolkswagenBeetle or Bus etc back then we didn’t really have Computers and the Parts Stores had lots of Vatalogs you could hear the parts guy flipping through as he couldn’t find the Radiator prices the guy would Cone back on the phone with some frustration and questions

Couldn't agree more!!!
what no mice?
no , just fire ants :)
Only up here in New England ;)
We don’t have mice problems down here ... just little lizards!
Adventure ! with expert , fun loving tour guides . Free ! all week .
Best engine ever. These engines had amazing fuel economy and when modified there were only a few that could beat them.
The 1600 cc engine?
I really enjoy watching videos like this I really want a beetle one day one day .....
The best man who does the job.this man is just a magician with these motors
Thank God I worked on these engines in the 60's when there wasn't so much corrosion!!!!
I like that flywheel gland nut tool.
Love it! Darrin and CT in da house!!

Darrin, you need a small sturdy table for doing things like this. It'll save your back and knees.
ETA: only took 40 minutes
This was an awesome video. Cant wait for part 2!
Loved it! It's like a therapy watching all this...
just outta the blue dude brings up tearing down the engin and her come Darin having at it, ground action and all
Did my 36 hp in the kitchen 1974. New wife from nice upbringing handled it ok.
One of the best real time tear down vids. Looks a lot like all the projects I get myself into. Looking forward to the rebuild!

I think I see a new challenge forming : " Worst abandoned Vw Engine on UA-cam "
I really need to start filming! I have a couple that would qualify for the challenge
@@muzzcovw7674 Do it 👍
@@5150mxVW I need to come down so we can do a will it run on your '77!
I would love to see a step by step budget rebuild. love your videos!
Wow great to see you back in action. I know you will have it running in no time u the Man!!!!
Looked good to me was surprised the water didn't eat away at the magnesium around the oil sump
The neighbors have got to love this guy!
Have no fear VW Darrin will make it run!
That’s a job I would like to do. Think I would rather have the engine on a bench.
I appreciate this video.. I just bought a beetle last month and i bought a parts car to start a bigger engine build.. i subbed
Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming
Can’t wait to see it run.
I can always tell an experienced mechanic by condition of his tools and conditions of his forearms they look like mine after forty plus years of turning wrenches, never doubt that he can rebuild this four banger!

keep it up, thanks for all the videos

Couldn't live without my torque multipliers. Best tools ever!
"I need a hammer" truer words were never sproken lol
I swear this has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouts to the guy pulling engine apart absolute legend #mrdontplay😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of love from England 🏴 🇬🇧
I've brought home old cases like that before and often the bottom is rotted out around the oil sump. Best way to store them is upside down.
Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.
To build a motor from an engine would be a miracle !
Cool.. good to see you
Just rewatching this one Darrin because I have an old one, I will be playing with soon. What ever happened to part 2 of this one or did you ever do one? I looked but didn't see it?
Looks like a runner to me!
Good day Darrin. Great video. I have a 1600 VW and it’s leaking oil from the pulley and as far as I know they don’t have and gasket. And ideas to help me. And I have an single port, I thing it’s a 1600. Wanted to know if I could change the heads to a dual port. Tks.
Can't wait to see this run a testimate to Darrin and VW engineering ;-) 👊👊👊👊👊 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
The vac port is for brake servo. I’m guessing ‘71 bus. Probably NOT automatic or auto stick.
THE SWAMP ROACH CHALLENGE!
Accepted.
really entertaining working on extreme rust
It's a single port so it can't be 1600.Check with the letter before the engine number,that will tell you which engine this is.
that cool optimistic attitude.
I cant wait to see the internals
Automatic sticks have an extra oil pump for the converter.
Henzi hizo kutega timing
I was surprised there wasn't more case erosion
Try using PB blaster it works on rusty seized bolts much better than wd40.
Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated
Uncle Adolph wouldn’t be proud of this build
Where did you get that flywheel tool? That's badass
I had a '71 S.P. 1600 in my bug, but it had the later style oil cooler off the back of the blower housing (unlike this one).🤔
That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share
Put it on stand nd don’t make it look so hrd
Looking forward to part 2
At best that is a 1500 engine. The 1600 engine had dual port heads and the offset aluminum oil cooler.
The 1500 was a good engine that ran forever and was very durable. The 1600 dual port engine was the worst engine that Volkswagen ever made, and had reliability issues. The 1600 dual port engine was prone to have valves that would get sucked down I to the crankcase. My mother had both in two VW's. Her 1500 ran for 27 years, and was still going when she sold it.

Darin reminds of the sad clown painting when he has his hat off😅
At 4:00 what a great tool!!
Eeh my dear friend,we have things we call work benchs.Yu should consider investing in one.
Great video

Mr. Procrastinate.
I put a screw driver through the sump on the last swamp engine I built.
Really need to put your glasses on !!!
Hey good to see you, hope you guys are doing well, 👍😁👍
Doing good next time you’re in this neck of the woods stop by I have hubcaps for you
I want one. Where did you buy that torque multiplier? And how much?
Any reputable VW aftermarket supplier sells it. Torquemeister is one brand.
Darrin!!!!
is there a part 2? Love it! :)
What part of Florida you in needing to rebuild one in Orlando here
This give me hope.
You keep saying its a 40 horse block. My understanding that's 1200cc, ,made up till 65,no automatics then that I know of. Is it a beefed up 40horse?
this was fun ! can i ask the address of your shop i am in inverness not too far really ,id like me and the wife ride there i d have a few questions . thank you
What a fun video. Hehe
Great fun!
What happened to time-lapse photography ??
You can buy 40 screws for a 9 bucks that's what I did what a big difference throw them old ones away the new ones are awesome
my friend how can i talk to you? I'm Brazilian and I have a workshop that works with air-cooled VWs.
Talk about doing it the hard way Christ in no penetrating oil no heat man
I was surprised that a fish didn't come out when you tipped it over.
Cool AF 👌🏻
I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966
Liked, subscribed, and leaving comments!
Looks like you’ve done this once or twice before
ya oughta show that one to Mustie1
If it was a automatic how come it has a clutch and pressure plate?
Should go again. A bit of heat and lube and those head studs will be out. stop scraping the fins around on the concrete. Poor thing 😂
Moving to Ocala. How do I contact you?
Can I drive my ecotec buggy on the street there as I do here in az?
you can text andrea 3862164626... you should be able to as long as its tagged and insured

I thought the vacuum was for the brakes.
Title says 1600 but it looks like a 1500 SP maybe out of an old Carman Ghia
Ive seen them so bad that front pulley is disentegrating from the rust
