Our buddies ‪@marketstudios‬ are decking out out a 1969 VW Westfalia bus to travel with their new, sick Grateful Dead Collection and we wanted to help! We THOUGHT we could rebuild the air cooled engine in 16 hours...
Follow @chinatownmarket on instagram and YT for their video drop on Sept. 18th
/ @marketstudios
Big thanks to JBugs.com for getting us the engine rebuild kit in time! We struggled 'cause we're not VW wizards like Rocky over at General Parts in Albuquerque, NM. If you need a hero you can find one there!
And major thanks and much love to Dan Brockett--you're going to want to follow him @officer_dan on IG and on YT!

One pro for the air-cooled engines is that you preserve technology from back in the day and show how far things have come. And also how simple the essence of a internal combustion engine really is. Yes, newer engines have more power and torque and such, but these old engines show a step on the journey to the awesome engines we have today in my opinion.

@BeardedWrencher 3 года назад

Loved this video! It's obvious you guys aren't experts at these engines. But did that stop you? Nope. You dove in head first and learned your way through it. Plus, thanks to the awesome car community, people came in and lent their knowledge and hands. This is what being a car person is all about! Learning how to do stuff! Sometimes it's the hard way and during those times it's easy to want to throw the whole car away and buy a new Prius (lol, jokes) but you learned something and shared it with the rest of us. I love the car community! Thanks for this video.

As a guy that has a 74 bug its nice to see the excitement the whole crew had building the motor. You might not be the fastest car on the road but you are able to operate a piece of engineering history. That oil comment is very true you pretty much have to have a quart or 2 of oil in the "frunk" if you plan to daily the car. One of the easiest motors to tweak and mess with! I am curious what oil weight you are using for it though.

@lefteris426 2 года назад

Theres a reason why germany and generally cold countries produced so many air cooled engines, its because back in the day the quality of the coolant wasn't that good and people mostly put water in their radiators so in countries that reach extremely cold temperatures they would make all their machinery aircooled to avoid having crappy coolant expanding and cracking their engines, I grew up in a farming town in macedonia (the colder part of Greece) and even today I still see diesel 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder air cooled tractors (mostly german deutz tractors) and some t2 vw vans around

I am an A&P aircraft mechanic. Believe it or not, almost every single engine used in general aviation (think Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft etc) is basically that engine. A horizontally opposed air cooled engine. And yes, it is shockingly similar to a VW engine. The cabin heat used in those planes is essentially the same thing. The exhaust is routed inside of the muffler. There is a shroud over the muffler that a piece of ducting connects to. And it robs the heat from the exhaust to warm the cabin. Works great, as long as there is no exhaust leak. Also the carb heat works on a very similar principle to prevent carb ice.

@@Enter_Aether I am not being offensive or anything, is just because I really like those engines in general, my dad has a Beetle and I just love to drive it with him, those Vw engines may not be the best but with some good maintence can last generations What I am saying is that a Donut media quality video, with such interesting content to me is way better than exponential equations or the frick I'm studying now But yeah can't deny I have a lack of attention sometimes ; ) By the way sorry for my english still improving it

It doesn't make sense when they use mask all the time when they touch each other and whatever the others touched, so they would get the Coronavirus if they have worn a mask or not🤔🤨

For bolt removal, I prefer to use punched out cardboard and label them so I know which order they go in. Bags don't let you note which bolt came out of which hole. If it's obvious and the pattern doesn't matter, bags are great. Great content as always.

Quick correction, and it may be due to the lack of sleep, but a short block is the engine block with the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons. A long block is all that plus the heads and valve train. The intake and accessories make a complete package.
