VW Type 3 1600cc Engine Assembly 

Beautifully re-built. VW's design of attaching fan direct to crankshaft was clever - in case of fan-belt breakage, you can still drive till battery goes flat - unlike the Beetle. I had 2 Fastbacks, miss them dearly. Type 3's were unique in that they were VW's but without being VW's if that makes sense.

Wow wow... Nice Work man !!!!

I need to finish my project car. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Nice work! Can't wait to get to my engine build too.

awesome video to get motivated to continue on my 69 1600 type 3 engine. I lost motivation a little over a year ago at around 1:50 because I felt like my piston rods weren't going round smooth. Even though tolerances were measured on the crank and the rods were machined. I will just stop worrying and finish building it. I will watch this video again at slower speed to see what steps I need to do next.

Well Done bro should be proud of yourself relly good workmanship

Excellent work!

Fantastic video mate. Thank you for sharing. You made it look easy but there is quite a bit of work in cleaning, painting, restoring and rebuilding. It is fantastic that you still have the muffler, heater boxes etc and it's all as it should be.

Fantastic build video!

Beautifully re-built

I have a 1970 VW type 3 TLE I’m keen to do this too 👏 I’d be keen to step this out Parts to buy new versus parts to fix

Great video!! Nice sounds!! Really enjoyed watching. Thank you!

I love this video! It's awesome, beautifully done. If you still have the raw footage, have you considered making a slowed down version where you narrate the process in real time?

Wow that looks just amazing 😍😍😍 I wish I had that kind of ability

Nice work! And in record time too!

A work of art killer job...like from the factory....

Los fēlicito y les agrademos por estos conocimientos professional gracias .

Nice music, very good work, great video !

Excelente trabajo todo un experto en el armado de este motor felicidades

Eine fantastische Arbeit was Du da gemacht hast. Klasse weiter so und beste Grüße aus Hamburg

Excelente video, no hay forma de equivocarse, gracias.

Badass Jeremy.

Well...you made that look easy! :)

outstanding!

So fun to watch

This video depicts a major reason why the long-lived postwar West German _Wirtschaftswunder_ was possible! I'll bet that motor purrs like a kitten!

Hello from Germany! Great Video with a lot of diy thinking of even the carbs and distributor. My honest respect! Posted any video with the engine running yet?

Beauty

You're Filipino? I had a highschool classmate with your same surname. Anyway, this kind of engine will also fit a type 3 notchback? Thanks. Awesome work!

awesome

whats the sealant paste you use? great video, thanks for sharing.

You have to uploaded that full video or normal speed at high point. ✌🏼

Hey Jeremy, thanks for the great video build. One question: Is there a trick to installing the fan on the crank without pushing the woodruff key out of place and down inside the engine? Thanks

There is something beautiful about the simplicity of the vw air-cooled engine.

This fan assy. looks better for diesel than a gas engine. What is the cfm?

Hi Jeremy great video. I just got a type three that needs some engine work. Where did you start/learn how to begin?

can a Type 3 motor be mated to a Beetle trans for use in a dune buggy or other such aftermarket application?

Did you notch the rods?

Great video. What about the hole car? Incredible

why wraps on heat exchangers

Hi, very good and nice job.... I have the same engine installed in my kombi Safari Brazil, it has a brazilian dual solex H32/34 Pdsi, for check my jetting, can you tell me the jets and vents installed in your engine?...Thank You!!

How much did the parts cost ?

what kind of wrap did you use on the heater boxes?

Want to know why I think you aren’t married? I just watched you assemble a crank in your family room! All kidding aside, that is a pretty motor, with what seems to be a bunch of new parts. The only time I winced was when I saw that fuel pump go on.

You must be single. My wife would try to kill me if I build a motor in the living room

This guy must be living on his own because I know l couldn’t use the lounge as a workshop my wife will kill me but seriously she’s going to kill me anyway because I bought a over $20,000 Mustang which is still in the South Island of NZ yet to be shipped to the North Island Wellington as I write this message.

Maybe I didn't see it but no tinware under the barrels , it's there for a reason. Best thing to do on the carbs is disconnect the chokes , to much fuel washes the oil of the barrels, they start fine with them disconnected

I rebuilt an engine for a guy -sane type -when I had a small VW repair shop -could never get it started -in car -over at guys house -never could get it started -racked my brain going over everything by the book - removed engine -took back to my shop -totally disassembled -then re -assembled engine completely by the book ( yesrs of experience behind me ...) -kid’s parents ( he was 19 ) calling me numerous times a day threatening me over it not being done -REINSTALLED engine a second time -STILL could not get it to start to save my life ...ended up giving them all there money back -lost all my money on labor AND they got a new engine -that I paid for. -one of the worst damn experiences of my life. Glad that your engine worked -but I was ready to kill myself.

So..... you are saying that Snorlax is a Pokémon?

I can't believe there is no screen over the fan intake.

How much to do a rebuild I have a 69 square back

Pinchis video, pasó tan rápido que no pude tomar nota.

wow, that's the same engine, yet radically different layout comparing to a beetle.

Jo me monto uno igual mientras ceno los sábados... 🤪

I like turtles

There's a bolt at the end you never tightened down

Oil.....he he...

Brother ... finished fixing the car engine and then sold it to me, I attached it to the dirt bike, How much to sell it? Bro ... are you still in school? Did the teacher praise you for doing well? Do you love the teacher? Have you kissed the teacher yet? God will be jealous of you.

Educated guess.... Bachelor. Wife probably wouldn't allow a crankshaft to be assembled on the living room floor

Good info. Music sucks.
