VW AIR COOLED Breather system upgrades Oil leaks 

Welcome!

No problem 👍

OH yea those are really good. similar to the one on that engine I think. with the cap.

@@Mikefngarage looks like the Porsche units on 356s and 912’s.

I was thinking about doing a 2180 build. Because it is more recognized. They are just as good now. you use 92 thick wall cylinders which are just as bulletproof as the 90.5. The old 2110 is the old way the new way is 2180. And also everyone thinks a 2180 is a weak engine. Because they dont know the latest stuff. Back in the early days we did 2110 because they only had thin wall 92s the thick wall ones use 94 heads but still go in the 90.5 case. Another way to build 2110 is a 78.4 crank with I forget what cylinders. But guys do that too. My buddy is building one of those and there is a video coming up on that fairly soon. Next couple months. Most 2110 is 82 x 90.5. 2180 is 82 x 92. both pretty bulletproof.

Hi Mike, I am also interested in a 2110 build. Or a 2180. Anything as long as it is a 82mm crank. Especially interested in component selection. BTW, kudos from Illinois.

@@dannyzuko1843 Yea I am hoping to do a 82 build. Both great engines. stay tuned it will be coming.

check the facebook I try to answer questions there when I have time. Mike Fn Garage facebook. thanks I will see what I can do. Probably Vapor locking but hard to determine that.

Hi Willy. Mike is the guru so definitely get his advice, however I too have a 68 bug, 1600, single port, W100 cam (not 110) and 009 but with a single SU carb (yeah i know, I like to be different). I had the no-start issue on hot engine when I first got the car before I rebuilt the motor and I put it down to ignition timing (too far advanced) causing the engine to run hot, and there were some cooling tin items missing. Most charts say 7 degrees static timing BUT some 1500-1600 motors have 0 degrees static timing! Mike could be onto it with vapor-lock too. As for oil spray, depending on where its coming from it could be the main oil seal? I also found that although the car had a stock filler/vent setup the upper breather tube just had a small filter on it, and the system really needs a hose going to an air cleaner that gives some "suck' or negative pressure to extract the crankcase fumes and relieve pressure. Dunno if any of this helps but that's my experience as a fellow 68 single port owner.

all possible. Usually start with tire sizes and gear ratios. see how many RPM are at cruise speed. too many RPM and they start to blow oil.

Yea buddy no worries I will be at all of them First OCTO....then RVA Old world Huntington beach. Then Busses on the pier. At least you will get the Video verson. Hope your feeling better
