POWERHAUS VW Dyno Run First Start Up with Engine Options & Valve Adjust 

I never tire of that sound when they’re on the dyno!!

Special Place in My Heart for this Shop and the Man, You Rock “Jonny5”

Nice vid John. Your engines always sound healthy. I hope one day I can purchase an engine from you.

Love this video. Love watching masters at there craft. This guy is legit.

Nice video! A beautiful machine. I love how clean you work. Every drop of oil is wiped away immediately, every streak is polished.

Literally humming. Love it. So nice

Damn what a fine engine! I need to find VW Bus and get one of your engines! Sweet

Hi John , great work. I noticed you did the carbs at the beginning with out taking the linkage off, I always thought you discontent the linkage first ,then do the carbs and then balance up to each other .

You guys make some awesome engines 🤙🏼

You don't have to turn the motor over more than once to check the valve clearances . After checking No1 inlet and exhaust , you can also do No 2 inlet ( so you will have done the back 3 ( towards back of the engine ) clearances . Then on the other side you can do the No 4 exhaust clearance ( front one ) Then turn the engine over once back to the TDC mark . Then you can do the No 2 exhaust clearance and then the No 4 inlet and both No 3 inlet and exhaust . So effectively you do the back 3 on the 1 & 2 side and the front 1 on the 3 & 4 side . Turn over once Then do front one on 1 & 2 side them back 3 on 3 & 4 side . Much easier and quicker and less confusing with having to keep turning the motor over . Have a look at the lobe orientation with the cam in the case when you build one and all will be clear.

prefilter bag keep moisture out of the combustion chamber/engine. higher revs more power with water removed from air intake.

A shout out to Powerhausvw. Watch your videos. How long have you guys been in business?

Awesome!

Nice nice As cbperformance Engine same quality😍👍

my dream

So I guess I’m waisting my time with feeler gauges I should just make sure the push rods and the caps can spin? I’d be worried it would hold the valve open at temperature but I guess I could do a compression test to figure that out

Do you also use ratio rockers and what ratio thanks

Does anyone know if a Gene Berg traction bar will clear the sidewinder exhaust/muffler? Need to know before purchase, thanks.

I just acquired an MSD ignition with a 6A L box MSD distributor wires excetera what's a good plug gap?? I know it's hard to say probably but it's on a thick wall 1835 with CB heads CB fuel injection, I love all the builds you do they're the best👍🤘✌ I live near Modesto California it gets in the triple digits if that helps narrow it down😁

I noticed you were not using a feeler guage. How do you adjust then?

I'm curious. What do you do during assembly for the main bearing, rod bearing and cam bearing clearances? Do you find a large variance in the bearings, and have to go through a lot of bearing to get the bearing clearances correct?

Slack command? Good morning .

Well you know it’s about the bang for the buck and everyone has a different buck

Are the Chinese 44 Webber ok thanks

Don’t you use hydraulic lifters
