I must say that that engine runs really well considering it's history. Funny how even with all that sludge, the bottom of the screen looked like new. It shows the bi-level screen actually keeps the oil pump from recirculating the sludge. It did its job. Thank you for not using any goop on the gaskets. The right way to do it. 😀👍 The gasket doesn't need any help, just makes taking them back off and cleaning up the surface a hassle.

Hey CT that was pretty nice oil that came out. All things considered. If I may make a suggestion? A magnetic drain plug would be nice. And a full synthetic oil too. My fav being Castrol Edge. 10w-40.

I had 1972 1600 cc Camper van. It carried four adults and two racing motorcycles plus full camping gear from circuit to circuit for three years . It was mostly absolutely flat out full throttle, circa 80 mph, for several hours at a time. In 85,000 miles apart from basic servicing it used one set of tyres and two exhaust systems, never ever let us down.that was when they built good engines etc. Brakes were a bit “iffy” though, pre servo model !.

@@CTmoog Yes, I subscribed, and as long as the frame is taught and firm, lacking holes, the body can reflect the lovely elements that created it, rather than the falsehood of pigments and lacquers.
I used to notice that the VW busses had the passenger side tail light out from the battery banging into the back of the light. There were hand prints painted on the back of a few VWs. It was to indicate that the car was often push started. What a beautiful old vehicle you are restoring.
That was some nasty crude coming out of there. That engine hasnt had any love in a long time. Read the comments and the idea of pulling it and putting it on the stand is real good idea. Might want to grab a carb rebuild kit for it too. One less set of steps to deal with and make a couple of good videos out of it. But either way man, one step closer to rolling down the road. Keep it up bud!
@CTmoog The generator light also can come on if the generator is overcharging the battery too. If is above 15 volts will kick that light on too. Was a situation I seen where a vehicle was running and the light was on, ran a voltmeter on it and was at 17.5 volts.
I had the same bus in the late 60's. Looks like a factory rebuilt with the engine number redone. The 40 horse non fresh air, what a power house, especially with the governor, but it never blew up. Great vid.

CT moog by the way I have a few cast off pieces of cook wear that I use for cleaning parts and fill with hot water and vinegar to clean carburetors.. works like a champ.
There's more than a touch of deja-vu about this video. I couldn't work out how to get the thermostat connection off either. You've obviously worked it out now. The rod carrying the big spring has a circlip on its end which allows you to take the clamp off, then that comes off the rod from the thermostat. You can then unscrew the rod from the thermostat bellows, and remove the thermostat and bracket from below in the heater channel. I'm enjoying these videos - very helpful and good pics for reassembling later. Thanks, Dave.
Why? If the oil is old but okay, then there is zero reason to waste new oil if you dont know the condition of the engine. Even if you did, you still might dump marvel in the bores, or some kind of penetrant which would contaminate the new oil. Thats not even taking the foolishness of dumping new oil into a sludgy engine into consideration. Unless you're rich, dumb or bored, do what he did. Live and learn! 😁
@@RabidDogEOCF No way, big time wrong!!! Oil is cheap, an engine is not. Not only should the oil be changed before cranking, but it's also smart to remove the pan on any engine that you are unfamiliar with, just to see what may be in there. $15 dollars worth of oil is a small price to pay to potentially save an engine!
Hey CT, I'm just absolutely impressed by what you are doing. Last time I drove a bug was back in the 1980's, a beetle, a 1302S. Loved that car. I'll be watching to see the final outcome of this project. Way to go. More power to you.
A very interesting video to watch. I have a British 1961 Humber Hawk that I have been getting ready for driving again after being in storage for approximately 30 years. It hasn't had an oil change in all that time and I am about to do it.
From what I saw you scooping out of the bottom of the crankcase, I would strongly advise to flush the engine once more before filling with fresh oil. Get a cheap engine oil, this engine requires 2,5 liters of oil if I recall well, so pour in about 2/3 or 1,5 liters of oil the crankcase and 1/3 or 1 liter of diesel or petroleum/kerosene and run the engine for 10-15 minutes, at idle only; then drain again and now you are ready to fill with clean oil... Jake
Nice job and I hear planes over your head. I did that once to a transmission and changed the oil 3 times in a week and it went from turtle mode to a jack rabbit. Take care Dz
Wow. I wish the motor would have gotten torn down. Would be smart to clean a reseal the motor. It's a true original motor. Well worth it now that you know it's MINT! Awesome vid.
Clean Oil without Zinc ....................use STP in older cars for Zinc Add. new cars and oils they don't include zinc in it and older cars and racing engines need this protection
I just use Shell Rotella in everything. Still has the ZDP in it. If it’s good enough for Diesel engines that can go millions of miles between overhauls, it’s good enough for anything I own.
Hey Len, I will be doing another cleaning cycle and them I will put some Zinc oil in. thanks for the advice! THANK YOU!!! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?

personally, i would always change the oil on an engine first. oil quality degrades over time and avoidable damage could occur. i know the rush to get it running all too well, but i destroyed my conrods on my 100e prefect this way. also, dirt and rubble piles up at the bottom of the pan. after i took my engine apart, the whole bottom was filled with grease, of what used to be oil. and the oil pump tube that reaches down the oilpan was getting blocked by it.
I have that exact some Craftsman Top Box. My dad gave it to me when I was 19, after he used it for 20+ years. I have been using it now for 25 years and hope to pass it to my sons.

You don't want to heat it up to hot and cook it looks like it's a saver that's just my thought on the whole deal by the by the way like the shot of the fire extinguisher but hanging on the wall please take care JUNKMANDO
I'm glad to see the extinguisher too! You'll be thankful one day brother. They've helped me out in the past!
Samuel Bacon my thoughts exactly.... those mice 🐁 will nest everywhere , best to clean that crap out
Hey Samuel! I told you I was going to get a fire extinguisher! Thanks for pushing me to do it! =) Yes, the next video will be a full tune up. I'll take it out put it on a stand and go through everything! Oil cooler and all! Stay tuned my friend! I really appreciate the feedback and the support!
Yes, Samuel was suggesting that I get one so I didn't hesitate! I don't won't to burn the house down although that would make for a great video!!! =) Thanks Brock! Dude nice job on that bay window! =)
I like the way you show us the different parts.

CT moog by the way I have a few cast off pieces of cook wear that I use for cleaning parts and fill with hot water and vinegar to clean carburetors.. works like a champ.
There's more than a touch of deja-vu about this video. I couldn't work out how to get the thermostat connection off either. You've obviously worked it out now. The rod carrying the big spring has a circlip on its end which allows you to take the clamp off, then that comes off the rod from the thermostat. You can then unscrew the rod from the thermostat bellows, and remove the thermostat and bracket from below in the heater channel. I'm enjoying these videos - very helpful and good pics for reassembling later. Thanks, Dave.
You should have changed the oil before starting it. Live and learn😁
Yes sir! Next time! =)
Why? If the oil is old but okay, then there is zero reason to waste new oil if you dont know the condition of the engine. Even if you did, you still might dump marvel in the bores, or some kind of penetrant which would contaminate the new oil. Thats not even taking the foolishness of dumping new oil into a sludgy engine into consideration. Unless you're rich, dumb or bored, do what he did. Live and learn! 😁
@@RabidDogEOCF No way, big time wrong!!! Oil is cheap, an engine is not. Not only should the oil be changed before cranking, but it's also smart to remove the pan on any engine that you are unfamiliar with, just to see what may be in there. $15 dollars worth of oil is a small price to pay to potentially save an engine!
haha, I remember when I was in my twenties.
@@RabidDogEOCF that's when you worked at Precision Tune and hit your head real hard 😁
Hey CT, I'm just absolutely impressed by what you are doing. Last time I drove a bug was back in the 1980's, a beetle, a 1302S. Loved that car. I'll be watching to see the final outcome of this project. Way to go. More power to you.
you should find another beetle!
Vai ficar muito legal.

A very interesting video to watch.
I have a British 1961 Humber Hawk that I have been getting ready for driving again after being in storage for approximately 30 years. It hasn't had an oil change in all that time and I am about to do it.

Are you going to change the oil filter too? LOL!
😁😁😁
I spotted that nice railroad lantern on the cabinet. Great video.
From what I saw you scooping out of the bottom of the crankcase, I would strongly advise to flush the engine once more before filling with fresh oil. Get a cheap engine oil, this engine requires 2,5 liters of oil if I recall well, so pour in about 2/3 or 1,5 liters of oil the crankcase and 1/3 or 1 liter of diesel or petroleum/kerosene and run the engine for 10-15 minutes, at idle only; then drain again and now you are ready to fill with clean oil...

Hi Juan! Thank you so much my friend!!! Strong hug back to you from Central Florida!!! =) Stay tuned for more!!!
It sounds as good as any of Mustie’s....
Thanks Paul!!! 😎😎😎
Nice job and I hear planes over your head. I did that once to a transmission and changed the oil 3 times in a week and it went from turtle mode to a jack rabbit.
Take care

Wow. I wish the motor would have gotten torn down. Would be smart to clean a reseal the motor. It's a true original motor. Well worth it now that you know it's MINT! Awesome vid.
I wil be doing that in the near future! I want to protect and preserve it! It is a great engine! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
Clean Oil without Zinc ....................use STP in older cars for Zinc Add. new cars and oils they don't include zinc in it and older cars and racing engines need this protection
I just use Shell Rotella in everything. Still has the ZDP in it. If it’s good enough for Diesel engines that can go millions of miles between overhauls, it’s good enough for anything I own.
@@notajp ZDP= Zinc enough said................Good luck.
Hey Len, I will be doing another cleaning cycle and them I will put some Zinc oil in. thanks for the advice! THANK YOU!!! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
Enjoying this. Well presented and i like the slow detailed shots of stuff so you can take a good look at it all. Being a bit slow, this helps me. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers
Thanks David! I appreciate that! Stay tuned for more!
your wife isn't going to get mad you used one of her good pots to change the oil?
Nope! She got a new mixer and didn't want it!!! I scored! But yes she would have otherwise!!! =) THANK YOU!!! =) Thanks for watching! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned for more!
I have used ATF instead oil in the past to clean engine. Lots of detergents. We are a VW family from way back. Great vids keep it up.
Purring like a kitten .... good to get that sludge out , you may have lucked out with the engine
I know right? Thanks for watching man!
Hey!All the way from South Africa. Great to see something so cool come to life again. Great to watch.
personally, i would always change the oil on an engine first. oil quality degrades over time and avoidable damage could occur. i know the rush to get it running all too well, but i destroyed my conrods on my 100e prefect this way. also, dirt and rubble piles up at the bottom of the pan. after i took my engine apart, the whole bottom was filled with grease, of what used to be oil. and the oil pump tube that reaches down the oilpan was getting blocked by it.
I have that exact some Craftsman Top Box. My dad gave it to me when I was 19, after he used it for 20+ years. I have been using it now for 25 years and hope to pass it to my sons.
That's awesome man! That is a great story/memory to have! I love this tool box!!! Did you subscribe! Stay tuned for more!!!
