Thanks for posting this Annie. The pace of the video presentation is great for folks like me who will be doing this ourselves soon for the first time. Also great to have Gary's comments on your questions. Keep em coming if you can spare the time.
Years ago my old mechanic told me to always look at the outside of my crank bearings when I pull a motor apart. The original bearings had a little elephant stamped on them. I've seen a few elephant bearings. Not sure if it's all crank bearings or just some. Also it doesn't tell you much pertinent information but they are fun to look for!
4:30 That’s an oil pump nut…. Like a reverse nyloc nut. The 6 main case nuts are similar. A replacement oil pump is cheap insurance imo. 19:23 That’s the wear in the case form the bearings. The case needs a one bore and possible thrust cut. I personally don’t like the looks of the cam shaft, looks worse in the video vs Instagram. Rod bearings are worn and discolored form the heat of the oil. I really suspect that the engine was overheated and it seized up. Why did it happen? Hard to say. Could be worn parts, low oil, contaminated oil or the engine was just ran too hot. Proud of you for jumping into this, keep up the great work! Also, check out DPR machine shop, they sell quality reconditioned cranks.
Thanks Gary, I always appreciate your thoughts and the time you take to have a look at things. I originally was hoping to save some cash by reusing some of the parts, but after having a think on things it seems the best thing to do will be to just do it right the first time and not mess around with old worn out parts. The case is going to the machine shop tomorrow. Line bore and thrust cut. And I'll be looking for a new crankshaft and camshaft. Oil pump too. We're going to do this engine up right! I'll have a look at DPR machine shop. Thanks for the lead!
@@annies_vw oh and also, check out AA piston. They sell rebuild kits that are more on the economy side of things… crank, rods, flywheel, etc all in a kit. Good quality stuff, I’m running a lot of their parts in different engines with a food success rate. Worth looking into for your research purposes.
that engine has being to hot and seized up because off the oil presure that failed. pieces that got to hot, or for the bin. some pieces can be used again, but needs attention. otherwise a great video, keep up the good work. greetings from Belgium.
Thanks for your comments and for watching! There was no oil pressure light hooked up on this engine, so that could have been a factor in the problem in over heating.
One of your shorts came up in my feed. This is my first full length video. Love it. Great content and style.
First check the case between cylinder three and the flywheel for cracks. Any cracks are bad for longevity and not worth the line bore.

Thanks Greg! I'll post again for sure on the rebuild! Gary is a champ for taking some time to keep me on track with some good advice!

That’s cool, I’ll have to go back and have a look!
