YUP, YUP The New video series has started!! How to rebuild your stock VW engine with a few upgrades along the way. Maybe, going with a SCAT C25 CAM kit will be really cool! Oh, and did you catch a few of my screw-ups in the video... LOL this will be a strong 1600 Build not a 1641cc, and of course, that valve spring that is in backwards!!! Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE!!!!! Thanks everyone!

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

@@ibrewster Just what I have, this is a pretty new set so no real reason to replace. I have heard that the 1641 set can have some issues sealing against the cylinder head due to the thickness of the piston-cylinder wall.

40 HP is an 1192 and that engine is different than a 1600 - cam bearings vs no cam bearing(40), and o rings (1600) on main engine bolts...??? NRN .. I will watch and learn...

@scottlymbery7948 Год назад

Thought I'd report back. Recently completed my first engine rebuild on my 2 Litre Kombi. (T2 Bus for you Americans) Had a stripped cam gear where I think one of the bolts from the cam gear came into contact with the oil pump. Extremely satisfying the first time you fire it up. Been driving it around again for the last month now without problems. A chunk of the credit for that goes to your videos. With it and the manuals managed to muddle through to a successful conclusion. Cheers

Got an update on my project 40hp engine. Starting to rebuild it and got the new conrod bearings installed and torqued to the crank shaft. Got new lifters and crank bearings jugs and pistons from aaperformance. after reading up on these engines the tolerances were so tight, and they put these case halves together without sealant and the jugs without gaskets. Was confused by understand why when rebuilding these to use the sealant and gaskets which come in the new gasket kit. So, need to order the kit here soon to continue building it. I think it will run pretty good for an old 65 40hp with stock stuff back in it.

85.46 barrels make a 1584, not a 1641. Rounding up: 85.5x85.5x69x .0031416=1584 bore x bore x stroke x pie. To get 1641, you use 87s 1678, use 88s.

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

Question was deleted before I could reply about "why mark the lifters" good question... here is my reply. Definitely a no go on that... during Cam break in the lifters are mated to the particular cam lobe and form a particular pattern that if mixed up can cause premature failure or wipe out the cam and lifters. Lots of options on this as with most things but I hold fast to this belief. Check out this Samba thread on it. www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=596400

Hi Jess I found your video on over heating. Watched it and thanks for your info. I was working on Custom Made J Tubes. The Heater Box and it’s poor attempt to perform it’s duty for what it is called. I’m in Canada, Montreal to be exact, with the true meaning of the Heater Box and it’s multipurpose design. I was gifted in my younger years to be exposed to dealership engineering with Porsche. I Got the low down on cooling of the Turbo and 911 series Porsche. Latent Heat Transfer how the sinks and the thickness of to exhaust pipe walls absorb heat and are cooled via the shroud on the beetle of it yesteryears. 1980’s. Straps with metal claps blocks of metal to your J tubes and recheck your temperatures again. You’ll be quite surprised of the heat transfer from the heads to the j tubes.

@JWClassicVW 2 года назад

That sounds super interesting, I image having a well working heating system on your VW in Canada would be a must if you plan on driving her during the cooler months of the year.

LOVE the video, great instruction for beginners and entertaining style. One point though... 8.36 I thought 83mm was 1498cc (1500) and 85.5mm was 1600cc, with 87mm bringing it to 1640cc? Only reason I say this is because I'm just honing and re-ringing a 1600 motor with pistons marked "85.46" and checked my bore which measures 85.5 on my calipers. When I purchased the rings my shop confirmed they are "for 1600 not 1640". I'm no expert so feel free to correct me on this!

Below or lower part of the cylinder head is an excellent location to add Heat Sinks. Drill Three holes and tap. 10 mm or 13 mm. Make sure you have push rod clearance and install Studs. Bolt on a Heat Sink. Size according to fit remember conductance an convection.

@JWClassicVW 2 года назад

This in theory could actually be part of the connection at the head... different gauged adapters could be installed in line with a j-tube to dissipate different levels of heat.

@ericcainer7755 2 года назад

Most VW After Market Engine Builders seem to wrap their J Tubes with a material, that in some cases is what one would want, but to Improve is what we are all about. It keeps heat from rising while at a stand still. True. But to keep cylinder head temperatures within an operating envelope while moving and stationary would not a heat deflector be more to ones needs. Made of sheet metal that would be strapped to the J Tube. When in motion should I say more. Cylinder Head Exhaust Studs. Steel or copper? Heat transfers again! Plus sinks.

Where can I find videos on bearning failure, I am very impressed on the three videos of yours

@ericcainer7755 2 года назад

The topic at hand on heat transfer would be narrowed down to 3 sections. 1) The inner, as well as outer diameter of the JTube The inner, in most cases, would be 2in to 2 ¼ inches. The outer diameter would be one of the Variables. 2) The gasket between the cylinder head a J tube what it’s fabrication will be . Think COPPER and it thickness. 3) The sinks sized to the theoretical demands required and what the heat sinks are made from. Thick Zink. These were and are preliminary thoughts.

@JWClassicVW 2 года назад

You know Mike FN did a video or two on making his own heater boxes through some pretty cool fabrication, it would be nice to have a simple one sided snap-on or bolt on option for heat... all made of stainless steel.

Hey jay what Mobil 1 oil filter number did you use when you did the full flow system on your 56

@ericcainer7755 2 года назад

Conductivity The rate at which heat passes through a specified material, expressed as the amount of heat that flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance. Copper J Tubes as well as Zink Heat Sinks with a Aluminum sheet metal Heat Shield. The connections at the exhaust port on the head and the face of the J Tube should be engineered similarly as the Type 4 exhaust port. With a pure copper O Ring as the sealing gasket. The Greater Surface contact the more Heat Transfer through Convection.

@JWClassicVW 2 года назад

Sure it is true with grater surface area you would have better heat transfer at the head... this also plays into the requirement to have a good valve job as the heads find some of there cooling through the valve seat surface. What percentage of the heat in the J-tubes do you think is exhaust gases vs heat generated from the head?

@vayabroder729 3 года назад

To split the block you can also use one of those case splitters: vwparts.aircooled.net/Crank-Case-Splitter-for-Oil-Pump-Hole-All-Engines-p/case-splitter.htm

I use to put my push rods into a cardboard box noted front back drivers side passenger so they would go back in the same place on solid lifter engines non adjustable. on this 40 horse was thinking why bother since the valves are adjustable on VW's. Well, I did the same with the lifters. So just wondering why would it make a difference since the valves will be adjusted anyway. I'm not getting the reason? Thanks Tim

@JWClassicVW 6 месяцев назад

With the lifters the face is worn to the CAM. The become matched during break-in and wear together over time. This is info I've picked up from some good sources, apparently you can wipe out a CAM and the lifters if they get mixed up.

@TimsWorkshopTJY 6 месяцев назад

They are probably worn out anyway and need replacing. Same with the pushrods. The came look great though and no bushings on this 1200 40hp. Got a good shopping list going now and just ordered the crank gear puller to finish the teardown.

@mikehammer4546 3 года назад

Very good video, couple of questions; I heard that on a stock 1200 / 40 hp motor you could install 1600 rockers for a little more lift. Can you speak to that. On the rings, will you talk about ring clearance ? Lastly,McAndress you upgrade a stock 1200 sp to a 1600/1641. I wanted to do the Big bore kit on my 1200, what the difference ? Thanks for doing this.

@FunFun-tv7gq 3 года назад

Thanks a lot for sharing the tips and info. BTW which lifter would you recommend, stock , light, light with oil lube hole or which one? Thanks from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 for your help in advance.

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

Hello there!! Australia! Hope your doing well out there.... what kinda engine are we talking about here? Stock., modified? If stock I would just stick with a stock lifter. I have Engle lifters in my 2276cc and they do great... there not light weight or anything like that just some good after market. What you want to pay attention to is the are where the pushrod goes into the lifter cup. Stock cups are smaller to keep the pushrod tip oriented correctly, some aftermarket lifter have an oversized cup that may or may not cause issues.

@FunFun-tv7gq 3 года назад

Hey Jason, I am rebuilding a stock 1600cc that has 85.5 piston heads (bought it as is). And I was only buying cam followers as per your advise But I thought to check the lobes of the cam shaft as per your other video I was watching the other day and found that first and last lobes are similar size and the two in the middle are kind of same size which is different from the first set by roughly 0.25 mm. Now should I replace that cam shaft as well while I am there ? Knowing that I am on budget if you advise me to change the cam shaft and followers for sure so what kind would advise as I do not want to change the bush rods nor anything related, also knowing that I am a pharmacist so I will not be into real math and engineering as you explain in your videos 😃😃 Long story short, should I change the cam shaft too? If yes what size and kind as I want to stick to stock. Once again thanks for all your help and sorry about the lengthy message. Cheers. 🍻

@FunFun-tv7gq 3 года назад

Hey Jason, I was not sure if you’ve seen my question about the cam head and followers ? Is Engle 110 a good option for a standard 1600cc with standard valve springs ? Any beneficial as in power or torque ?

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

I would for sure look at a new cam and for a close to stock replacement CB offers their cheater cam. I wouldn't go with the 110 on a stock set up unless you plan other upgrades. Check out some details here offered by Aircooled.net. ( vwparts.aircooled.net/Engle-W110-Type-1-Camshaft-1-1-or-1-25-Rockers-p/e6110.htm ) The Engle W110 Classic VW Bug camshaft grind is designed for 1.1 or 1.25 rockers, and it's specs are .392" Cam Lift, .430" Valve Lift (1.1 Rockers), 284 degrees of advertised duration, and 247 degrees of duration at .050", on a 108 Lobe Center. This is the most popular and best all-around street cam ever made for a VW engine. You can not use this with a stock carburetor, you really need at least 2bbls of carb (Center mount 2bbl, dual 1bbls, or dual 2bbls). This cam works "OK" with stock heads, but it's performance is much better with some porting, and especialy if larger valves are used. Expect a powerband of 1500-5800 RPMs, the more headwork and carburetion the better the low end will be. You can get by with HD Single Valve springs and Bolt On Rocker Shafts. Use a compression ratio of 8.25-8.75:1. If you choose to use this cam with 1.25 rockers, you will extend the top end to 6000, but DUAL SPRINGS ARE REQUIRED. If you want to stick with Engle a W100 may be better to go.

@ctreatman 5 месяцев назад

Hey Jason. Figured I'd get our conversation over to the correct videos/playlist. I have another question. I have no machine shops locally and will have to send out my case to be inspected and line bored. There's a very small piece of the case on the #2 side lower engine bolt that's missing and it was mounted to it's last transmission just fine but when I pulled the engine the stud cought and pulled out what looks like a spring. Not sure if the case can even be reused with that little chunk missing but it was being used this way previously. Not sure how to send a picture to you but I'd love your opinion before I start spending money on shipping and boring. Do you mind taking a look?

@JWClassicVW 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like you pulled out a Helicoil, if the case is cracked and had a Helicoil installed best guess is she needs to be replaced. But honestly these can be repaired by a competent machine shop with VW experience. They'll also tell you if the case is trash.

@ctreatman 5 месяцев назад

@@JWClassicVW definitely not cracked anywhere but there is that little chunk of alloy that is missing where the helicoil was inserted. The rest of the case looks great it literally looks like 1-2 mm of mag missing

Hi jw,i have question,i just rebuilt my 1600 dp engine,but i find it very difficult to crank over by hand when i rotate flywheel,but when i remove the spark plugs i can crank it as normal by hand,and it will crank on a starter motor,but will not crank when i put plugs in,my theory is a valve isn't opening correctly,so my question is this,are the cam followers of different depths,as i accidently mixed them up,and when i adjusted the valve tappets,i noticed they are set back too far,but used correct feeler size to set them,would you know the answer to this at all,if not then no worries,it was just a theory of mine,and i will be stripping my engine down to try and find the cause....cheers dude..

@JWClassicVW Год назад

That's a tough one man... compression goes up a lot when the plugs are installed, but you should be able to still crank it over. As far as having the lifters mixed up what you may run into would be premature wearing of the cam.

@daveshipman2677 Год назад

Thanks jw,i started stripping down the block last night,just down to the case now,so will split it open,and have a good look around to see what the possible issues are,my theory is down to the new rings,as this is were the starter motor has problems cranking the engine over with plugs installed,but as soon as i remove them,it cranks over,i've worked on engines before,but not flat 4's,so i'm a bit mistified as to the probable cause,anyways thanks again jw.👍

@daveshipman2677 Год назад

Hi again jw,i have a question to ask,why is it important to line up the two dots on the cam shaft,as i can't find any info on this,and think this may be a theory why i think valves aren't opening in the correct sequence,or is that a dumb question jw..🤷

That's so timing is correct with #1 cylinder hitting TDC at the correct valve opening.

@@JWClassicVW Hi jw,that makes sense,which is why i think valves aren't opening in the correct sequence,i just found it odd that this isn't covered in my vw manual,so basically cylinder number 1 needs to be at tdc and dots aligned for valve's to open at the correct point,is this correct jw,sorry for dumb question,think i'll stick to normal engines in future as neve3r had issues with those lol..🤣

@AircooledMisfits Год назад

So if you grab the crank pulley and it moves in and out some, your case is bad or can be fixed with a line bore/thrust cut?

@AircooledMisfits Год назад

...flywheel has to be on to check? Is there movement typically if the flywheel is off?

@JWClassicVW Год назад

This really depends on the wear... some cases can't be saved with a line bore. A quality machinist will know if the case is salvageable.

@JWClassicVW Год назад

@Frank R. yes flywheel needs to be installed with shims and torqued.

Loved your enthusiasm Jason. Even this Brit appreciated your sense of ‘bueno’ humour. :-) I want to rebuild my original 1944 Type 1 25hp motor and have found some new pistons and bearings to fit in Finland. Do you have any contacts for 1940’s parts at all? I do not use Facebook. Thanks a lot mate, Keith

@JWClassicVW 2 года назад

Hey there Keith... unfortunately I don't have any contacts for early VW... they are getting harder and harder to find. OG 1944, now that is amazing!

Where to find out what year did the cc my Volkswagen motor is? 45. 211.101.1010 Can anyone tell me what the year of this Motor engine block is.

@JWClassicVW 8 месяцев назад

The Samba website has a section in the Tech info that covers engine year info. As for the cc... as long as it's stock you'll be able to Google the year VW and get that info once you confirm the engine year. www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/chassisdating.php

With more aggressive CAM profiles and higher rev'ing engines the wavy washer set-up on the stock rocker shafts will fail breaking the wavy washers.

Hi dude,i have a 1600 engine on my 71 early bay bus,can i upgrade the cylinders so i can get a bit more power to my engine,as i have just come back from my holiday,and the engine on my bus seized,so now going to do a complete tear down and upgrade the parts..?

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

Oh boy!! Love doing rebuilds with some power mods... so what are you trying to do? There are some options without machining but to be honest the difference in power in hardly noticeable. What size are your pistons now 83, 85, 87?

@daveshipman2677 3 года назад

@@JWClassicVW Hi dude,i don't know the size of pistons yet as i haven't taken heads off ,but i'll let you know,i was thinking of adding some twin Webber carbs once my rebuild is completed,this should give me a better top end on acceleration,and i'm getting rid of old pulley system and replacing with a serpentine pulley setup,what else could i do without going over the top..?

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

Well one thing I did and a bunch of others do is a lightened flywheel... this is a cool option for fast revs from light to light in a bit of a race application. But if cruising is your thing and possible longer trips the stock flywheel is still a better option.

@erikm2003 3 года назад

I wonder how hard my engine is gonna be to rebuild if it’s even good anymore. It’s been sitting in a barn for 15 years and the motor won’t even turn over. It came with a box of new cylinders and pistons. Hopefully I can get it freed up and hopefully it will come apart.

@JWClassicVW 3 года назад

I would start with some good penitrating oil on everything including the spark plugs. If you can get them out easily then some Marvel's Mystery oil down the cylinders will help break things free. As long as nothing serious is jacked internally.

@erikm2003 3 года назад

@@JWClassicVW ok. If I can get everything to turn over free how bad would it be if I tried to get it running without taking everything apart. I didn’t put a bar or anything on it just tried turning the pulley at the end of the crank by hand so maybe it’s not set up that bad.

@Kikinahm 2 года назад
