VW Type 4 Engine Build Part (3) Porsche 914 Restoration! air-cooled Volkswagen, CT 1972 Porsche 914 sitting for over 30 years. Let's see if we can bring it back to life! #vwtype4 #914 #porsche #ctmoog #vwdarrin / @vwdarrin
I'm currently tearing down a Type 4 engine out of a 1983 air cooled Vanagon, almost identical to this engine. Video couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks.
Looking good and great to seeing some more Type4 build videos. I think there's a big need for this and remove some of the flack people wrong dream up. Just we would've at least used Th e 1800 (93mm) T4 barrel kit or even the 96mm (1911cc) barrel kit with 2L / 1800 heads which bolt straight on = happy days ;)
Awesome build series Guys ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ( VW Darrin channel ) Darrin . Thank CT for the 78 hours of editing this series will consume :))
Awesome build serious guys thank you for sharing your Knowledge my uncle has an Porsche 914 in storage waiting to be restored thank you ct for the videos i own a Diecast Model Porsche 914 my self❤
Great Video CT. Darin is a good teacher. He knows all the details. Even which way a snap ring should go in and why it goes that way. Not too many folks know about those finer details!
TYPE 4 cases hardly ever wear out. they are made of aluminum. That is why i like the Autolinia aluminum cases. they are super strong. but They are Heavy. I have trouble putting in my bus engine by myself.
@@johnleinen9409 The early ones had problems with the rear pully seizing up but I think they got that resolved. mine has no issues. super strong running.
At 26:00 That would be Permatex #3. The Indian head logo has been on containers at least since the sixties, which is as far back as my wrenching memory goes!
Thanks for the videos on the Type 4 build. Keep it up. I bought a 72 bus with 1.7 type 4 a year ago knowing very little. Watching these videos has helped me build the courage to tear mine down for a rebuild. Down to the case now and starting next week . Actually excited and feel confident
Yes, I wish RU-vid was around then. It's a wealth of information! Thank you! I hope you can use this info on a future build or a least enjoy the content.
It's looking awesome! Thank you for fixing my transmission as well. Not many air cooled techs left out there. That's a nice looking 914 motor. Cant wait for the rain to finally stop. Looks good brother.
@@CTmoog I have been watching his videos now for about 7 years give or take. I used to go to a guy out by the jail on 92 but he passed away a few years ago. He was a guru of vws. But anyway cant wait to see the next video I'm always learning something new and COOL.
Excellent video CT :) also Darren :) he great help to your family CT also plus he great big help out and pick right time working when inside rain outside!
No type4 aftermarket cases in production as yet. But I believe Jake Raby is developing one. Nearly T4 cases are aluminium. Only a very rare few of the early 1700 cases were magnesium cases.
Good to know. I'm curious to find out what the case is like from the 1972 VW Camper Bus I purchased last year. I pulled the engine out and it was seized. It's in bad shape. Hopefully we can save that one as well.
@@CTmoog I'm sure you can save it. Speak to European Motor works in California for most of your parts and advice. They do a lot of work with Type4 motors parts and machining. Getting the case properly linebore is not easy to find. There's lots just throwing a line bore through and thinking they've made the case true again. This is usually not the situation and the case halves are still bent at the case mating face. In this situation the case halves need to be faced and cam tunnel and oil pump hole remachined to spec. Then all the studs can go back in and then the line nore can be done afterwards.
@@CTmoog yes, the bus case is basically the same. Barrels, heads, crank etc are all inter changeable with the 914 engine parts etc. You got a win with that windage tray. These are unavailable now.
Was that yamabond he was using to seal the case. We started using that back in the early 80s. worked the best. I would use silicone today it should work fine too. mega grey would work too but it might be really hard to split that case a second time.
True VW man he has the aviation Permatex and we used to use silicone on the barrels to the case no paper gaskets white grease on the valve cover gaskets with the rear main seal and dry to the case torco assembly Lube the best
Fantástico brother o teu trabalho este motor é muito parecido com nosso 1600 brasileiro com dupla carburação só o nosso cárter é bem diferente um forte abraço dos brasileiros
Truly correct about the gasket she spoke about when you use silicone on a paper or cork gasket silicone actually dissolves the gasket and turns it into mush that's why Aviation Permatex is great on paper gaskets course if you have your surfaces flat should not have to use any gasket sealer but Bolton the cases together Aviation Permatex do not use silicone one more on gaskets like that I usually will paint the gasket on both sides with the Permatex with a piece of cardboard makes it easier to stall in the gasket and less of a mess
@@CTmoog HEY C T you've gone up in my estimation , many creaters ignore or hide negative comment .... so bravo ! !! As for the ads..... yes that many start to encroach and effect the enjoyment of the content ....I know you've got to make a living but I feel you're at a tipping point where many might switch off , you have the analytics so I'm willing to be schooled ... is your audience the same ? Do they watch less time on your videos ? Anyway its your project ...I hope if nothing else I raised a smile from you 😊☺🙂😄
Remmele in Germany makes a billet aluminum CNC case for the T4 with OEM dimensions, and Overfly has a 16V case without the camshaft bore features since it's all in the heads.
I was considering a type 4 for my Beetle, would have made a great performance upgrade but for the cost you could have two decent built type 1's. Shame because I've seen type 4's punched out to almost 3 liters. There's a few companies out there making kits for a beetle conversion but the prices are crazy expensive.
The complete 38mm exhaust system needed for the 1.7 &1.8 beetle conversion is crazy expensive. The 42mm is available, but its too big for 1.7,1.8 engines.
Hello I have a type 4 porsche engine to rebuild and, looking at your very clean work, I have a few questions: how did you clean the housings? Have you grinded the cylinders into the cylinder heads? The screws and nuts seem new. Where do they come from ? I hope I can rebuild my engine in a few days after taking this lesson! Thakns
Hello, thank you! We cleaned the case with diesel, purple power, brake cleaner. The heads, pistons and cylinders are new from AA performance products. The screws and nuts are all original. I vapor lasted them. Please search the 914world forums, Google and RU-vid for for more info. It's out there but you have to search for it. Good luck with your build. I hope this helps. Keep us updated. If you have more questions please ask.
When I saw you applying silicone around the outer perimeter of the engine the first thought through my head was “Welp….all those studs are going to end up weeping oil and that case is going to be a bitch to get apart after all that oil gums up on them.” What is sealing the studs from oil?
Hi just watched you building T4 engine do you like putting it together the hard way you said VW don't use a sealer yes they do when you fit the oil pump you should leave the nuts and bolt around the pump loose you should not put sealer around the rubber front & rear seal's you used new cylinder heads did they not need cylinder head rings??? Why didn't you put the rocker shaft studs in when the cylinder heads were on the bench I'am surprised I can see on your video you have VW engine's in your workshop buy the way the oil relief valve is not for that engine that's why you had to change the spring.
@@CTmoog Im glad darrin said the brown sealant isnt as good anymore. Still building up the courage to build my own motor. Very good stuff to know! thanks
@@CTmoog Hi CT in all my devices are on because I have problems with my ears. In some of your videos I can see the close caption and in others I can't.
Hallo Jungs, sorry, aber Silikondichtmittel hat an axialgeteilten Gehäuse nichts zu suchen ;-( Das Silikonzeug ist hier bie an die Hauptlager geschmiert und verstopft so den Ölrücklauf. Leider wurde die Pampe auch unter die Zylinderfüße geschmiert. Es gibt eindeutige Vorgaben welches Dichtmittel zu verwenden ist. Z.B. das amerobe Dichtmittel Loctite 574 In den letzten Jahren kommen immer mehr solcher zusammengepappter Motoren aus Amilan zurück nach Europa. Silikon muss auf der anderen Seite des teiches billig sein ----lol----
