So methodic in every step, - you can hardly avoid succes with that bus !
A distingueshed pleasure to watch...
Man, I even took a deep breathe when you 1st started it on fresh oil. Very good.
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.
Yeah the oil was surprisingly clean!
@@VWLifeVW… The oil system in the engine works just like an oil bath air cleaner. Each time you shut the engine off all the crap settles to the bottom and the screen pulls it's supply from a half inch higher.
For that bus being 57 yrs old that motor sure runs good! ALMOST as old as me and it runs better than I do!!!
Right! It's smooth
Great job, looking forward to watching this classic come back to life.
I love and enjoy this restoration Sir. Yes it's Alive can't wait to see more of your restoration, I like Volkswagen's also , my Family had a few of them , growing up with my parents
Probably the most interesting oil change I've ever watched. Great camera work.
WOW!!! Thanks man!!! I really appreciate that thank you! =) Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
That is incredible for a 40 year oil change!!! Such a awesome bus!!! 😎 I had a dream you painted it a deep burgundy and cream!!! Keep rocking it.... it's on it's way!!!😁
I know it really is! Hey nice dream!!! =) I will man thank you!!!
running as sweet as a nut German engineering there is something about a VW that is so appealing they are so popular world wide and especially in America it seems keep up the good work i hope you will restore her to as new condition they all deserve a new lease of life.....
Great job brother. The bus will LIVE another day! Great work on the shop transformation. Now you have some work area to perform the vw resurrection❤🤘✌ peace brother
Thanks Brock! Ye sit will! Thanks for noticing! I spend all day or maybe two last weekend getting it all cleaned up! Fortunately my sister has an empty house down the road so I filled her garage with all the other stuff!!! =) Now I have to have a huge garage sale before she comes to visit!!! Thanks man!
Wow. Just wow. I love Volkswagens, and I am amazed that lights work, engine purring.....Thank you so much for bring this Bus back to life!
I don’t know how you make this stuff interesting to watch but you do a great job. Your pace is good, pleasing voice and you show the things we want to see. Great job.
Great video once again, it was amazed to see how much dirt came out the second time!
Wonderful! Can't wait to see the next episode and the start of the restoration of the bodywork !
Us too!
When is the next episode
Thanks Guys! It in a few days! Say tuned!
I'm in Central North Carolina, we have a few of these German Gems hidden around....lol!!! I have been inspired to restore a bus for years, but you've helped take it to a higher level..... thank you!!!😎
Hey Charles! That's awesome man! Can't wait to see it man! Good luck and keep me updated! Stay tuned and please subscribe!
Been there done that brother you got my sub
This is thoroughly satisfying. I appreciate your effort, in giving the the engine a chance to come back on it’s own without a complete breakdown of the parts.
А моторчик ровно так работает... Молодец мужик!
You are doing an amazing job on this thing!!
You gotta be kidding me, you got one awesome patina bus. I can’t believe the lights and the wiring are good, plus the engine. Wow
I like your souvenirs from times past and that you added the wasp nest to it lol. Looks like lots of memories in your garage.
I'll be enjoying your resto for however long it takes ya, till your done 👍
Thanks.
Thanks Dan! Yes, I thought the wasp nest was pretty cool! It's like a fossil. I'm happy you are along for the ride!!! Stay tuned!
Motor sounds great. Runs remarkably smooth and quiet. Saw your Coleman lanterns. I've picked up a few from goodwill. Mostly from 70s & 80s. After TLC they work like a charm.
Hey Jeff! Thanks man! I love the old Coleman gear! I have some coolers too! Yes, they work pretty good with a lit tlc!
Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
it's true
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. But you know best. Btw that red light on your speedo is for charging. The generators never go but sometimes need polarizing and/or brushes. The voltage regulator may need the points filed too. I noticed you didn’t use one to clean the ignition points. NAPA has point files. Oh and Harbor Freight has a nice parts washer. Don’t you just love how all of us commenters spend your money? 😂
HAHA! Yes, but I don't mind! it's all good info man! Thank you! I will pick up a file and parts washer soon! Thanks for the advice my friend!!!
I wouldn't put full synthetic oil in this kind of engine. Mineral oil is what it was built for and wants.
Something to consider! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned for more!
@@anakondase Mineral Oil?
@@anakondase thats i wonna say to. my last car, build in 1995, my mechanik sayd, synthetic oil is no god. as you say, this machines are made for mineral oil. thats the best and the only
Thanks for showing everything in your garage.
We strike tonight 😎
And I am a July 1964 model! Thank you for a very nice vid. Myself worked on a 1979 Kombi and 1300 VW Beetle years ago. Greetings from Pretoria, Republic of South Africa!
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 !.
It's too bad that VW 's reliability went out the window once they started building modern cars...actually as soon as they started upgrading their OLD designs with EFI.
Sinceramente pensé que no funcionaría, y tú lo regresaste a la vida buen trabajo felicidades.

Entendiste por qué le metió aceite nuevo y más tarde le saco y le volvió a meter nuevo por qué? No entender
@@alexarmentaleal5840 porque el aceite viejo pierde sus propiedades de lubricación y el primer aceite que puso sirvió para limpiar por dentro y él segundo cambio será para que el motor trabaje sin problemas
I would have been so excited watching your progress you'd have to shoo me away like a little kid with eyes wide open.
That body though is a shell of its former self.
Awesome video, itching to see that baby back on the road where it belongs! Thanks for taking us on this ride!
Gran trabajo amigo!!! Tuve 2 vw t3 y 1 vw Brasilia...adoro esos vehículos. Abrazo fuerte desde Uruguay
Thank you!!! Stay tuned for more!
It's been a long time, but that grey goo on the oil change plate was lead build-up from when gasoline still contained lead. Yes, it's truly been 40+ years.
Nice job getting it started. Who ever stored that bus did you a huge favor by draining the gas and running the carb dry.
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.
You are the man!!!! great job...It is amazing how dead cars can come alive one more time....Yeeeeeessssssss!
The rusted body is really "earthy". It is nice. Enjoy your VW van.
Thanks David! It is pretty cool like it is!!! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
Earth friendly as it is recycling itself by rusting!! Mine is worse... LOVE this panel!!!!
I like the term, "Earthy"!! LOL
Me too!
@@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.
Cool video and a great old bus.
Looking forward to the next one.
Yeah lucked out finding this gem!
Here in Brazil those vw vans are pretty common you see them everywhere, not as collectors vehicles but for work, they were made here until 2013 when the airbags turned mandatory. They made some special editions on the last year called Kombi Last Edition.
Hey man! That is pretty cool. Wow, I can't beige they were still making them up to 2013. I will have to check those out on google! Very cool! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe? Thank you!
Hello again:
Marvel's main ingredient is the distillate: paraffin.....>>>Diesel....has a greater percentage and like the prescription I told you about before....you'll get more quantity overall for "hot cleaning"...if you just do the 50/50 or 70/30 mix. Diesel is cheaper than the bottle mixture too.
Judging by the color of the oil after your 1st flush,you will need to do many flushes.'
Hey D! Yes, I still want to try your method as well! I will try to do that this week! Just been so busy it was hard to do it all in one video! I really do appreciate the advise man!
Fill a entire engine with diesel and then drain
it sound good. this will become a great bus
Thanks Patrick! Yes, it is going to be an awesome bus! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned!
That is amazing that a van sitting for 40 years can come back to life. Others than some rust you have quite the vintage vehicle!
Hey Daniel! I know! I love this thing! It is pretty amazing so far! Thanks for watching! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned for more!
Discovered you lasy night. Wow! Fantastic. I am 5 videos in. I also have an old Kombi, looking forward to learning from you. I like the pace of the videos. No rush, taking your time, showing every bolt that you take off, thecsound recording. Well done CT, WELL DONE!
On those rusty pulleys, I take coarse sand paper and hold it up against then while running and it takes the rust right off.
Ok cool!I will try that! Thanks Robert!
@@CTmoog It's a dirt cheap way to sand.
or a finger if you're not careful... 👈
@@Quickened1 I still have all my digits.
Tá muito show o veículo! No Brasil a conheço como " Kombi corujinha". Não sei nos EUA mas no Brasil valem ouro.
Hey Man! Yes, here in the US we call them Kombi, Bus, Van, Transporter! The prices are going up! Stay tuned for more! =)
What a lovely bonus to my weekend watching your update on the bus .. keep up the good work 🤩👍
Good job! CT understands old vehicles well.
That's a replacement engine, it has the Serial number area machined out and restamped and it has a valve setting sticker on the fan housing.
send that motor over to Mustie, he will gauranteed clean that Carb for you . OH and adjust the valves ,clean the exhaust out .
Ya Mustie is the go-to man for VW's lol...I'd love to spend just a day with that guy helping him with whatever lol
What a little adventure this is to see things unfold as you go along with the basic maintanance after 40 plus yrs.on this classic VW bus. Thanks for the series of vids 👍👍👍
Hello Patrick! Yes it is!!! =)Thank you so much for watching! Im glad you enjoy it! Stay tuned for more!!!
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!
Thanks Scott! I know it is nasty crude for sure! Yes, that's the plan! Full tune up and carb rebuild! Thanks you so much! Stay tuned for more man!
@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.
Hell yeah! Do my Bus next! Only 20 years on mine, though... HAHA!
Bring it down! Let's do this!!! =)
You have a bus?
Haha, I'm the 13th like, Lucky 13 just like Good ol Gregory, .,,.0o.,,.

WOW man! Thanks for watching!!! =) I really appreciate that! I know your bus is awesome!!! I'm excited to see your next video!
Awesome !!! Thanks for sharing this baby reborn from the ashes!
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.
Hi Phillip! That is so cool. Yes, I think it is a factory rebuild! What part of the world are you from? Thanks for watching! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned for more!
Definitely take some of the tin work off, and clean out the cooling fins. If not, you'll find overheating issues.
Hey John! I will. thanks man! Stay tuned!

Great to get the gunk out and running clean oil. Sticking around for sure.
So fun to watch the project come to life. Keep videos like this coming and watch the channel grow
Amazing how smooth she runs, great work
Hey Ben! I know! It's crazy! I think it has low milage or was rebuilt and well taking care of! Thanks man!
You have one hellofa rust repair job coming.
Excellent video,thanks for the lesson,Bro.👍
I spotted that nice railroad lantern on the cabinet. Great video.
Muito bom gostei um super like 🇧🇷✌️
Thanks man! =)
Are you going to change the oil filter too? LOL!
😁😁😁
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.
Hi man, Rodrigo here from Uruguay, you are making a nice job.We ll keep tune and go ahead!
Hey man! How are you doing today? Thank you so much!!! =)
@@CTmoog thanks, I want to send pictures of the Volks from here, named " Combi", do you have, Instagram? Or a WP number so I can send them?

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.
Who wants to see this fully re-stored?
MEEEEEE!!!! =)
CT moog we all do man thank you for your videos !! :) Good Content ill love to see this baby back on the road ill be waiting for the next video keep it up man ! 👍🏼
W1CK3D WAYS i’d like to see it mechanically restored, and the body coated in matt clear!
Naw keep it the way it is
i like to see it running. but I like that rusted look.
That VW Type 2 Bus needs some love, my friend.
Hey Lucas! Yes, it does! And it's getting it! Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
@@CTmoog Yes. Yes, I did.
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!
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 😁
It's German engineered so it should be fine.
Yes, they are pretty good engineers!!! =) Thanks for watching! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned for more!
Wot a great job !!!!! A little hello from France !!! I have a VW T4 and prout of it......
Thanks a lot CT moog for those parts of pleasures ..... courage to bring this van to life !!! will follow you !! kisses from France !!!!
Hey CT, first of all Thanks for bringing this VW Van to life even after 40 years, it would be nice to see this van in it's old glory.
Eastwood Rust Dissolver and 100 sand paper leaves the metal like new ,none better, clean off with cold water, dry with paper towels and hair dryer then Eastwood Pre painting prep
Then 2k Epoxy primer that's what the pros.use the secret is out
Is that orange light on the dash the oil light that's on? I would connect the sending unit if it is and see if the light goes out before going too much further, though the engine does sound good and I heard no knocking..
Hi, yes I think out is. The one that goes out after a minute. I will try that in the next video! Thats for the advise! Stay tuned for more!
@@CTmoog sounds like the valves need ajusting...Do it..get er done....lol..cheers 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Vai ficar muito legal.

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

I've been watching your videos on the bus and I am really happy that you landed a survivor and the engine is running great and not smoking, Change the motor mounts and get that engine sitting right and it would be good to go.
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!
you might want to adjust those valves.
Hey Curt! I'm going to soon! Stay tuned for more. Did you subscribe? Thank you!
Yes, I will stick around! What an incredible luck you are having with this engine!....... Greetings from the Netherlands.
very lucky indeed!

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?
CT, another really well put together video. It’s great seeing how much of the old van is still in such great shape after all these years. Truly remarkable that the majority of the lights are functioning so well. Even before the oil change the engine sounded great! Looking forward to the next vid 👍🏻
Thanks Ben!!! I know it is full of great surprises! I really appreciate that man! More to come!
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.
It sounds as good as any of Mustie’s....
Thanks Paul!!! 😎😎😎
CT hey do you think you have to do a compression check on the motor.. also I think you should drop the motor..... make sure there's no mice nest's like a number three oil cooler in around the shrouds that's just my thinking!!!!!! 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! =)
A little warning from Germany. I grew up with this cars. One thing you should never ever do is overfill those VW engines with oil. It will blow up the engine. Especially the oil cooler and that gaskets there. And it is frigging complicated to get that tight again.
Good tip!
Great job CT , outstanding , keep going and I’ll follow everything you do.
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
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!

You have all the tools in the world im envious of that.
If you let a 2015 car sit for even one year I guarantee it will not start up the same way this baby did!!!! Such a cool experience to be able to do on spare time! I’m subscribed and waiting on more videos on this bad boy as you go!!!
