Thank you!! this was very helpful!!!

Nice " how-to" video. You should do more of them. Great dad joke too.

I have a hydraulic tappet that bangs really loud when cold like hammers hitting then all of a sudden becomes sewing machine quiet when hot. Would this fix it?

How can you tell a typ4 engine has hydraulic lifters or not?

[@patrickkabuki7049]

Hi. Make me understand something... at how many rpms do you need to set at the 28 degree Mark?

[@g3ahvicious249]

If your talking about the timming. It should be at 2k

[@johnalberts9528]

How can you determine if you have Hydraulic lifters? 78 bus was rebuilt once and don’t know if the mechanic changed the lifter type

[@dave8k9hohnjmdavez57]

Did he change the crank? Hydro only crank grinds. Remove valve cover remove holding spring Remove lifter assembly...use a magnet on a stick. Slide in lifter bore and see if it's magnetic. Solid is magnetic hydraulic are not

[@ronaldcooper7609]

Most hydraulic lifters only need adjustment once after set up. Are these VW ones like that? I owned several old VWs and the solid lifters sure needed periodic adjusting.

We Just rebuilt the engine. This is why they needed adjustment. Once adjusted they shouldn't need it again for a long time.

[@justincrane1524]

My 77 doesn’t have hydraulic lifters. Is it possible to change what I have to hydraulic lifters?

[@driveanalog747]

You can but it’s not worth the time. You have to split the case

I love Bus

Q: Why was the broom late for the meeting?
A: It over swept

[@williamtanner1372]

Engine just purrs along now. Wish you were 1200 miles closer and you could do mine.

[@vwfez8697]

I like it.

[@christopherbigenho5125]

When I adjust at the cylinder at TDC, I feel as though I'm just pressing the push rod into the lifter.
