Playing In The VW Bus | Underwood Garage 12 

Well thanks for saying so! Hope to get back to some youtube content here soon!

Glad we could be a tonic! Hang in there!

You bet! Thanks for waiting!

Thanks it’s the best!

Right on I’ll check him out - thanks!

😄thanks!!

Ahahaha will do!

Thank you thank you!

Classics!

Thanks for still watching!!

Well thank you for your kind words!

Thanks! It sure is pesky. I’ll get it right eventually 😂

@@clarkunderwood No doubt!

Thanks for watching!

You are telling me!

then again you have a toddler running around so I won't be too hard on you :)

Great! Thanks for the information - I will check him out!

Awesome, let me know when you do and maybe we can grab coffee.

Phillip at Polk's is a close friend of mine, and he completely rebuilt the 1600 in our 71 Westy. The previous owner threw a rod bearing, and now he has it running as good as new after the rebuild. I second the re-torqueing of the head, by the way. Would love to meet you and the family if you ever come this way (we live just inside Arkansas). Thanks for all of your videos!

It has. Thanks for watching!

What timing! Staying safe. Big changes coming for the Underwood fam not sure if I will get to Do IFCG this year. I do believe I will have some more vlog style content coming though. Thank you for watching and stay safe my friend.

Seems to be between the head and the cylinder. Drips right onto the middle of the pushrod tubes. Doesn’t seem to be any leakage at the block and jugs.

Vw life this bus needs your help

@@carlbarton772 we are trying. We don't know a whole lot of people in Oklahoma

@@VWLifeVW we were talking here and saying it would be an amazing video with you all on the case. Follow both channels. Shame that.

Oil leaks are not a great reason to do a full rebuild. Loads of expense for a simple problem. Check the torque on the head nuts. Not hard to do if you have a torque wrench and it may be just one loose one which allows the leak. Follow the correct order when checking torque on them and use the right torque value depending on your stud size. Compare studs to a known bolt if in doubt or use a dial caliper. dunebuggywarehouse.com/https/air-cooled-vw-type-1-cylinder-head-torque-sequence-cheat-sheet.html For popping out of 4th this is a common problem and COULD be the transmission, or it could be worn transmission mounts. Check the transmission to frame upper mounts and make sure they are good. It also could be the bushing on the nose cone to hockey stick, or a bent hockey stick itself. Take the transmission out and remove the nose cone cover and inspect the bushing and the hockey stick itself. Also make sure the other bushings in the shift rod have been replaced, which will tighten up shifting for any transmission anyway. Sometimes any of these things make 4th pop. If you want a transmission rebuild Rancho Performance is very highly regarded. I just got my transmission rebuilt by them but have not yet reinstalled it, but am excited to get there.

I’m weighing the idea. Just don’t want another shortcoming ahaha

I like the idea of it but every time I research it it looks far to complicated to pull off myself. Maybe one day.

Me either 🤪

Will do!

We fixed it after the trip and sold it!

@@clarkunderwood At least you made some good memories and held up to the contract.

Guy with a Car Absolutely! I am in it for the experience and process more than owning a certain vehicle ;)

I sold it. Regretted it - and then started on this one.

@@clarkunderwood I totally understand the regret! I'm a late bay owner & have to admit that I prefer the looks of the early bay over the later ones. I bought my 79' a few years ago & at one point thought of selling it until I realized that I'd regret it and after all the hard work, I'd hate to start all over - you live and learn I guess!! I really enjoy your channel, so I hope to see more bus content soon. Enjoy your evening! 🤙🤙
