For people watching PBlaster or Liquid Wrench helps get frozen/rusted stuff apart, WD40 doesn't. If you can, start hitting them with blaster days in advance. Every day go over them with another shot. Even squirting them a few times, a few minutes apart will do wonders. Use antisieze on stuff going into aluminum when assembling. Or, get really good with drilling,extracting, tapping and helicoil installation. The choice is yours.

I am constantly amazed at the simplicity/ingenuity on aircooled VW engines...also, I despise flat blade screws. lol

Geez I'm an engine builder for Cosworth. And i was there all through our F1 days.. and if i worked like this . I'd have been fired.. just put the barrels on the concrete floor is bad practice. These guys are what we commonly refer to as rock apes Take your time stop smashing parts about.. lay every thing out in order..terrible.. rock apes..

I love the sensitivity the master Mecanic is applying to the porche engine 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi CT, Thanks for sharing your breakdown with VWDarrin. Pretty cool !!! He is incredibly knowledgeable about our motors.

If I ever need a VW engine, I see the best in this video. My dad and brother would have loved to be there and wrenching and helping.

must be nice to know people in high places.....VW Darin has been there done that.great to watch skilled mechanic in action! Jack M

Good to see you Guys getting after the 914 motor 👍

Great to see Darrin again as well.

Passing the knowledge on. What a nice guy VWDarrin is.

That brings back memories when I rebuilt my type 4. Make sure to replace the valve guides, not fun when they let go.

The bent-wire piece behind the rocker arms is not attached to the rocker stands, it just rests in the gaps in the bottom of the rocker shaft holders. You can pull one shaft at a time and pull the wire at any time. The purpose of the wire is not to hold the pushrods up; if the pushrods contact the wire at all it will wear a channel in them! It is there to hold the pushrod tubes all the way in against the case. The lower parts of the wire need to rest on the shoulders of the tube.

I was thinking to myself that there was very little I could pass on to my grandchildren. Not only will rusty and its restoration be available to my grandchildren but so will this new project. I just hope they live long enough to see its Completion.

Awesome engine rebuild 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👌🏽👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Keep us posted on which new parts you're going to use. Nice to see Darren rebuild a type 4. Going to take notes. 👍

Daren is the man! This is going to be fun to see get rebuilt!

Can’t beat some good help from the VW man! So glad he checked the heads out, they are a common failure on a type 4 engine. Valve guide seals on a VW 🤦‍♂️

Nice vid! Can‘t go wrong with Darrin at your side - I‘m jealous!😉

Great video. Its been years since I pulled a T1 -T4 engine to bits. I used to run my own VW garage and this was a regular job to rebuild blocks when work was slack. At one time I had 40+ short blocks ready to go and fitted them all in one summer! Those were the days. My best survivor T2 engine struggled all the way from Turkey to the UK on three cylinders with the forth plug wedged in place with an old fence post when it blew the plug out. Try that with a modern engine!

As if I wasn't jealous enough already of your nice big shop and your fancy tools, and being part of the Volkswagen syndicate with all the support and the endless supply of parts that entails, somehow you've also managed to get yourself under the wing of a kindly old mechanic to walk you through everything......You're living my dream bro.

Thanks!

CT, you got a great teacher with Darrin, good luck on the rebuild...Dave

Hi CT, I ran across a video of you shooting a video for Darrin's channel today. Love watching him put vw engines together. That start up on the one in his shop was cool to. Sounded sweet👍

Hey CT, I’ve got a 2 liter Type 4 and going to use the Jake Raby DTM cooling shroud kit so it will fit in my 71 bus. Don’t have to cut any metal. Just wrapping up a 1776 for my 66 bug. Your 914 is same yellow as my bus. Very cool collection dude!

Nice job. Your engine is in good hands

You both are cool gentlemen.

Pretty clean Inside!

This Darrin man sure knows a thing or two on VW stuff ! You're lucky to have him around.

He didn't have to take a lot of those fan housing assembly screws off, I just unbolt and remove the fan, remove the 4 nuts holding the fan housing to the block and undo the oil cooler bracket bolt and thermostat wire and pull the fan housing off.

mantap 😂kopi mana kopi 👍

Maravilloso. Gran. Video.

Good video love your camera work!

CT it's good to have a friend like a Darrin, this guy is like an engine it self I bet he knows more about these motors then the books can dhow you things. Good luck and for sure you will be very pleased with the rebuild

nice video, keep them coming !!!!! btw "RAP" is the marking that the wrecking yard put on that used part when they sold it to them (the previous rebuilders)..

You are taking a crash course in engine repair with VWD, good for you !

You weren't paying attention when he removed the rockers.......also you left eveything on the ground instead of a container. You'll soon learn that's how things go missing. It's a motor don't be scared work sensibly and you'll get it done.

Excellent video CT :) and keep videos rolling to

Some people have to much time and money on their hands to be wasting, lucky are the ones that do!!!😀😃😋🙁😊

At least you have Darrin to help with his knowledge

conheço muitos motores box...mas esse motor nunca vi...super...

Very interesting. And the extraordinary clutch made by R.A.P. 😄, maybe RAP stands for racing and performance 😂. But now you know where you at with this engine.

Vw Darrin yeahhhhhhh mannnnnnnnn........

Hey ct i like the prosche motor but i want to see more videos from rusty its very interesting and i like this old vw bus

Good job CT! If you would have tried to drive your 914 again, I think the engine would have been gone. I hope the body is much better than Rusty's. Good luck and keep on going! 😎👍

What a shame. Bag and tag. Best to keep the pushrods in order and everything else.

Now do you remember how to put it back together again??? LOL Fun and games.

This is Awesome! Restoring one on my channel too. Not as established as your channel though! Good job man

Very awesome video!!!

Super. 🎉🎉🎉

I would'nt let this Mulwalkie mechanic oil my rollerskates!!!.

Very good job

Great video CT, it will be nice when it’s together again. I like the idea of reusing what is good and replacing what is needed. Smart thinking. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, I don't know how you keep track of all the parts. I saw washers falling to the floor that no one picked up.

Nice to see your teaching that kid something NEW and keep him out of truble 😆

If the Germans could have seen these two working on one of their beautiful engines like this they’d have tried harder in 1944.

And knowing what your doing helps as well

agree with Canuckguy, steam clean an engine before you tear it apart it makes life so much easier.

surely the guides should be pre drilled out to thin the walls so they come out easier?

A like before it even starts

Yo tenia una volkswagen van pasajeros 1972 y utilizaba ese mismo motor 1700cc,lo repare y para ecomizarme unos dinero no le remplazo los pistones y cometí un tremendo error,me quedo sin fuerzas no podía subir una pegueña loma a menos que fuera en 1ra

If some nut, bolt, sparkplug etc. is too tight. Just use the finnish code word... "Perkele". It will help... Regards Stig Österberg, from Dalsbruk

vous le posez sur une moto , whouaou !!!!

We rebuild performance Type4's all the time. You've had a big win scoring one with the windage tray still installed. Type4 heads leak because of thin head washers so call European Motor Works in California and order some of thier Type4 ARP thick head washers. They also have some great performance Type4 cams for a 914. I'm bit surprised Darrin reckons your bottom end is good without even cleaning and measuring anything in the case. Good luck with it all.

Not sure if I'm watching an engine tear down or a BBQ grill repair. LOL!

hi CT I was happy to watch the videos on the restoration of rusty as you dropped this project? Where is the problem with the welds? Thank you for your answer

There is no Intel inside. But:....🤓😎❤👍

cool.

Just to say hi &i,m enjoying your vids. cheers.

Very cool video, even when I think the handling of the parts were very rough.😟 The parts aren't that cheap then the Typ 1 stuff.

lift the motor up ! your killing my back !

Watch the guys tear down a grimy engine without power washing it... brilliant idea. Worst part is they'll probably live forever..

European technology !

Woah he is being a bit rough on that, take your time, do it right.

I wish have the knowledge to this to my 412 engine

CT - When you put the heads back on it is acceptable to leave out the head gaskets. But it will increase your compression a little.

Hi CT loving today’s show, I’ve go a type 4 in my 79 auto bus. Somebody’s removed my bottom tins could you ask Darrin if they’re important I’ve just made some and fitting this week I live in the UK in the north and winter’s coming lols. Keep up the good work buddy

Between those new Milwaukee gloves and those shiny anodized sockets, he should be able to fix anyting, right down to that slightly offset spark plug hole that he drilled.

Stumbled across this clip as a retired vw shop tech after 38 yrs. Seen the good an ugly Chevy an ford Tech's hated these. IMO they were engineering marvels. Performance?? Check out " Inch Pincher" out of California. What did he say..200.00 maybe in 1970. More like 2500.00 maybe

Kaching, kaching, kaching. Every time Darrin said, "You probably should replace this..." the cash register kept ringing up the $$$$$. Have fun!

The engine that originally powered a training aircraft, went on to power a variety of road/amphibious vehicles and went back to its roots powering light aircraft. Looked after properly they are damned near bullet proof.

I was playing with it .

VWDarrin on the job !!!

That thermostat is already shot. When it's expanded like that, that is because it's hot or it has failed. It is only contracted closed when it's cold and that's when it pulls the flaps shut to aid in warmup.

fun to watch experienced mechanics...shit goes flying *everywhere*...bang, slam, whack. no problem!

Ah, the big block of the air-cooled world. Rarely seen these days. l always wanted to put one of these in a Beetle just to see what it would do...

Lembra em muito o motor da nossa Variant e TL da VW aqui no Brasil! Para aumentar o espaço no porta malas, projetaram ou copiaram de outro motor a forma horizontal da lataria por onde passa a refrigeração (air) do motor! Como aqui chamamos de "motor deitado"

First...Greetings from Germany !

That head looked better than I expected it to, given the overall condition of the car. Clean that head up and lap the valves, and you'll be good to go.

I remember seeing a few of these driving around 1972....but after watching this video...they were probably just going to/from a non-vw repair shop 😂

kebanyakan mekanik memang kaos e bolong ❤

S’good!

Good job. My restorations are also interesting

The engine needs to meet the swaz cleaner lol

Air cooling seems to be a cool idea...but the excess heat really stresses out engine parts. Especially with hi-performance engines. That's why Porsche went to water-cooled decades ago.

As I watched him remove the head nuts, I was thinking to myself: Hes not going to try to remove the head with the exhaust still attached? That means he hasnt removed the screws from the engine tins underneath that keeps you from removing the head.

Now I understand why I couldn't find a clutch on my VAZ 2190 with a multi-petal basket. The clutch is the same as on the Porsche 914)

thanks why I use anti seize on every spark plug. but there are two two types of previous owners: the PO ( previous owner) and DPO ( despised previous owner) looks like you have a DPO
