Comments on 'VW 1600 Aircooled Engine DIY Rebuild (Slideshow)'

1. Very nice! Good looking bus too, mate!
2. nice work man!!!!!!!!!
3. How long did it take you to rebuild it?
4. I did that few times and it was a pleasure. Only to note it
   is good to change main bearings if doing only a basic
   rebuild.
5. Nice engine! What soundtrack did you use for this vid btw?
   Its sounds really cool! thanks.
6. When I'd built the engine 40k miles previous, I'd used a
   very old cam and tappets. Just before this rebuild I was
   starting to notice a slight rattle so pulled the engine and
   found the tappets to have worn flat. This time I fitted a
   new cam, tappets, timing gear, all bearings and oil pump.
   The pistons/barrels, crank and heads were still good so got
   re-used. Should be good for another 50k miles now.
7. did anything need replacing or did u just feel like pulling
   it?
8. For anyone who wants an engine like this one and lives in
   California, Los Angeles near the San Fernando Valley, send
   me a msj, real good prices, 1835cc starting at$1500ex.
9. nice vid will be clear if you explain it step by step in
   order to learn how did you do thanks
10. Vw N.1!
11. like an upside down 4 cylinder lycoming or continental
    engine. pretty cool.
12. thanks alot, but i just bought the engine alone, its a
    1200cc from 1964 and the drive pulley has no nut on
    it...(they were made like that..) i have a blog with a few
    pics.. vw-plane.blogspot. com
13. prolly need to lock the fly wheel with a crowbar to stop it
    from turning over, or have it on the ground, hand break on,
    and put it in gear. undo the nut then try and tap it off
    (genitally, a rubber hammer helps ALOT here) if that fails,
    a gear puller might help u
14. Gear puller?
15. any idea on how to remove the drive pulley? i have no idea
    what tools i need to take it off...any help? chris
16. its a good song.. i like it lol
17. Hi, it's called 'On a Journey' by DJ Lee Harrison and
    Neotenic - dates to about 1999.
18. i like the song.. what song is it?
19. did you put new heads? or did you paint them
20. Take the bolt out disconect the wires put the new one in.
21. Check your points. they are inside the distributor.
22. Any suggestions on starting a 1300 that wont start,, it did
    for 10 seconds then it just wont start! No fire coming out
    of the coil, brand new coil or the old one!
23. SWEET!!! Great job. Love the new color :)
24. At the base of the fan cowl there are a pair of
    therostatically controlled flaps which direct the cooling
    air as required.
25. how do you get heat in a bug? if it's cold how would it stay
    warm?
