Rusty is a dirty boy! Lets clean his engine so we can get ready to rebuild this beast! Pressure Washing 50 YEAR OLD Grease and DIRT!!! VW Bus Restoration! VW Kombi, Classic Volkswagen, CT
Something very satisfying about blasting an engine clean. Don't tell anyone, but I spray oven cleaner over the entire job, but only leave for a short time (corrosive) then blast off. Leaves a very clean finish. Good work CT, keep em coming. Cheers Tony.
The engine on these are child's play lol the fun begins when you start on the body work but we all have to start some where and you are a man of determination so i'm sure every thing will turn out fine eventually.....
Hey Steve! Yes, this is all new for more so we will learn as I go! =) I really wanted to get the engine done to give me the motivation to carry on! The body work will be a big challenge and I'm going to make mistakes! Should be fun to watch! =) Stay tuned!
You're doing so well with this project, really happy for you. I mean it - and like you've said in some of your other videos, (paraphrased) no matter what the end result is, you've learned some things, and got busy instead of being a couch potato. And you know what? I'm really starting to think you're going to pull this off!! Keep it up! And thanks for sharing the journey with us. ;-)
Yes sir, I'll be watching! Best of luck to you, when does the metalwork start? ;-) PS - I have an old car too, I didn't have to deal with rebuilding most of the shell as it was pretty solid, but let's just say it's still a challenge and full of gremlins. 1969 Mercury Montego. @@CTmoog
Look at you CT...Going Gangsta on that sound track....lol!!! Nice clean up job on Rusty's engine!!! Can't wait to see what it looks like when it gets back from the shop!!! It's going to be awesome!!! Have a great weekend!!! 😎😁🤘🍻
Just a small tip, mix diesel, powder soap, and water, spray liberally, let it soak for 5 minutes. pressure wash and you have a grease free super clean engine. I used for years on engines and undercarriage.
Great friend cleaning. I've been following your videos from the beginning, and I can not wait to see this beauty being assembled again. I'm waiting for the next videos. Hugs from Brazil.
Vidio yang sangat bagus saya ikuti vidio ini dari sesi satu sampai sekarangtapi tdk ada rasa bosan malah saya merasa ingin mencoba 🤣🤣 walaupun pasti tidak bisa hhii.. Semangatt capt semoga cepat selesai dengan baik dan bisa berjaya kembali VW nya. Nice from indonesia fans
Spray washing provides instant gratification. Like laying turf. However can you be 100% sure all is dry inside before you lock up a potential rust bucket?
@@CTmoog yes you my bro, although you are a small youtuber and wishing you the big places in the future, and you deserve wayyyyyyy more subs than that for your work and effort , i liked your channel the most because of the pure hard work and effort you are putting towards your videos ..
CT if you all ready got a pressure washer buy a Hydro blaster attachment . they are about 70 bucks and then all you need is some sand ? They have sand down there in Flodania right? to blast the bus down OK .
Yes! I thought so as well! You have to give respect to the dead! =) Thanks Mike! THANK YOU!!! Subscribe and click the bell if you haven't already! Stay tuned for more! =)
Heck with de-greaser I am wondering and did wonder why you did not wash Rusty's engine before you took it a part? You could always washed it again after disassembly. I still enjoy the video.
Love what you are doing CT. My impact driver doesn't have the rubber sleeve on it. Doesn't that take all the fun out of crushing your hands with a hammer? Hehe.
Exelente mi amigo .q sensacion hermosa cuando llevas el motor a volverlo a la vida .a mi m paso con mi flathead ford .ya lo estoy finalizando .saludos desde Argentina
You ought to a set of ring ratchet wrenches for those tight spots like the oil cooler nuts. Much more compact than a socket and much faster than a normal open or box end wrench.
The valve spring pressure plate is something to throw in the garbage, they suck. Also, it's better to pull the pulley off with a PULLEY PULLER, that's what the 2 slots are for near the center of the hub.
Ah... the days when you didn't have to buy oil filters, just clean the screen. My old '61 Chevy Panel I had in the USMC had a 261 straight 6 with no oil filter... or screen for that matter. ;-o
Looking good, so that's how you convert an air cooled motor to a water cooled! Have you decided what to do with all the rusted pin holes in the body panels? It would be bitchin' to somehow keep the rusty look.... a rust inhibitor and clear epoxy? This from a boat guy
Hi, I hope on your property there is an oil separator, otherwise that was a major pollution that you have hired. Just so by the way. Nice to see that it goes on, but I would have cleaned the engine before dismantling. Let's see how it looks from the inside. But everyone, as he can and wants. Greetings from Germany
@@joewoodchuck3824 what does experience have anything to do with what he's doing, he's cleaning a engine and you spray degeaser to clean off all the crap, I think you don't know what he's doing, if you don't know what I'm saying then don't make a comment
@@oyesimon8112 I know exactly what youre talking about and i still support his experience based methods whether you think he should do it a different way or not. Again, if he succeeds in his efforts, then whats the point of you telling him to do it another way? What if he normally does have degreaser, but didnt buy it in time for this occasion?
I feel uneasy about getting water inside the block. I would be sure and dry it with compressed air and towels. I know your friend said it was OK to do it, but it concerns me. Maybe spray it down with WD40? Best wishes and good luck
May I inspire you and help? NEVER BANG on the same side of a pulley particularly a STAMPED STEEL 2 piece one like this one as you did at about 9:50. Rotate the pulley and strike it at no less than 10, 2 and 4. You can warp a pulley if you try to remove the way you did, more times than not. The best way is a gear or hub puller. but if not, use your rubber mallet as you did, but rotate the pulley and never strike the same place more than once! Ultimately you achieve several benefits by avoiding removing the pulley by only striking one side of it. 1) You do not warp the pulley. 2) You do NOT swage (create an oblong groove) in the shaft caused by the pulley coming off from one side at an angle instead of being removed uniformly all the way around, which makes putting the pulley back on a dog. 3) You may end up creating a possible wobble in your pulley when the engine is running. If you did rotate it and I missed it sorry but I just want to make a difference when I see a fine young man working on the classics as you are so diligently doing. Really mean to be constructive and not offend but this matters to me as I think of mistakes made and situations where I could have done better over 50 years of working on cars, trucks and small engines. Keep up the really good work but these are tips that help.
