      Hey CT awesome you caught it before the rebuild went too far👏 maybe you could use this in a positive way and look at a hoover mod to increase the life of the engine see ruclips.net/video/ubwhsLNM1wU/видео.html keep up the great effort mate.👍

    A well known saying that every mechanic knows: You do it right if you do it twice 😁. Every experienced mechanic will make mistakes sometime, but it is no shame to make mistakes, it´s a shame not to correct them. So you are doing exactly the right thing. And sometimes it is very useful to educate yourself with some "how to" videos. And maybe some people in the future are using your videos for education.

    If it is any consolation, you certainly are not the only one that had to re-disassemble something for forgetting something. It is all part of the learning experience. And remember, it is always best to take whatever needed time to do it correct the first time, then to redo it after it cranks and breaks and have to redo it again with more cost.Thumbs Up!

    That is precisely right! What you said in your video, you'll never learn unless you try. Mistakes can be frustrating, but exist to remind you not to make the same mistake twice. Discovering that stuck pressure relief and the possibility of crud still in the nooks and crannies of the engine is a blessing in disguise. It's better to discover those problems now while the engine accessible than to discover them while the engine is mounted in the van. Good job! Keep up the good work! 😁

    First off, I'm proud of you for jumping back in there to correct a mistake! A job worth doing is worth doing right! I've probably rebuilt 50 engine's in my day but only one VDub, and I started out at 15 yo. My suggestion would be to clean the outsides of the cylinders and spray them black. They are already starting to rust. Good Luck, CT. ...Newk from Kentucky

    It's gonna pay big dividends in multiple ways for sure. Getting the PRV unstuck and making sure it's clean inside. This engine can be detailed much more now inside and out! You'll get a lot of great service out of it and when an engine is detailed it just looks so nice. The end result will be so much more rewarding. Looking very forward to seeing it go back together and hearing it run again my friend. ✌

    To lever over off parts made of, or fastened to, aluminium make some aluminium chisel shaped wedges from strips of aluminium. Far less chance of damaging a surface intended to be a seal. Brass or copper rods make the better drifts for tapping items reluctant to move too. Sometimes a piece of wood with a tapered end can be gently tapped into the centre of some thing and the pulled to withdraw it. Something like the piston part of the pressure valve you needed out. Hope it helps in the future. Been there, done that, often learned the hard way

    Good decision CT. We’ve all made boo-boos like that and in any event it is MUCH better to spend a bit of time now to get things fully sorted out than to finish your project and have the engine blow up somewhere down the road.
    One thing: when you are removing the wrist pin retainer rings - PLEASE pack a rag into the openings in the engine block so that the ring doesn’t drop down in there. If that were to happen,you would have to fish it out and that would be a heck of a lot of work if you couldn’t see it without splitting the block.
    Also, don’t let the connecting rods flop around when removing the pistons. If they nick the edge of the cylinder port in the block, you could have a leak.
    Your happy and positive attitude is really good - keep it up!

    FYI, you can drill and tap the oil relief plunger and thread a bolt into it and pull it out.
    Since you sand blasted the engine, it wouldn’t hurt to reclean the case. Worse thing to do is let a fresh build sit for a long time. Line it up real well and then run it for a break in, change the oil and then let it sit.

    I always find it easier to remove the studs before the barrels and pistons.
    Before you reassemble the engine use the handle of a screwdriver to expand the pushrod tubes I find it helps stop them leaking as they have been squashed when you tighten the heads down.
    The pressure relief valve can be removed by using a piece of all thread (7/16). Cut a two slots in the end to allow you to drive it into the valve. Rotate the the all thread clockwise while pulling on the valve (you may have to push it in and out a few times).
    Good luck with the build.
    Oil pump removal is easier if you remove two studs. This way you can part the case without the need to remove the oil pump first.

    Alternative to buying the lifter removal clips, I just use some small, strong magnets that I picked up off a clearance shelf at a hobby supply store ($.0.99) and duct taped a couple of them to two pipe cleaners to each one (cross the pipe cleaners in an X and tape the magnets in the center). Drop the magnets down into the lifter bore until it connects to the lifter and spread the pipe clear out around the outer case. I have never dropped a lifter. Yeah, I am cheap; plus I forgot to order them and didn’t want to hold up the job waiting for the mailman.

For the next 30 years or more you don't have to think about it. Nice work though. =) Keep on.

    Try using a tap on the inside of the relief to give you a thread to lock a bolt into it. Take a nut place it on the bolt and the thread the bolt into the relief. Turn the nut down into the case and it should act like a puller. If it still tight apply some heat the the outside and try again.
    As for the relief plug replace or use a small ball Moran hammer and tap down the raised area back into the slot. File the slot to finish it.

    Best way to learn is by making mistakes!
    Three-Bond 1104 on any metal to metal zero clearance surface, which doesn't use a gasket, that needs sealing. silicon is a no-go these days and will plug oil passages as it always tends to squeeze out and then gets soft and falls into oil.
    Also it looks like you didn't clean the cylinders good after you honed them, oil looks all black... that's metal dust and hone grit lol.
    Might want to give those pistons and cylinders a good cleaning. Hot water and dish soap works. Just dry everything right away, coat cylinder walls in a light coat of oil and bag them till ready, make sure rings and pistons are good and dry, they can be oiled when ready for assembly.

    I would NOT blast those cases. The only media I would ever use for blasting aluminum is baking soda. It is gentle enough not to damage the base metal, but just abrasive enough to remove dirt and corrosion. And it dissolves in water. Also, I noticed when you were removing the rocker assemblies that I did not see any assembly lube on any of the components. Oil will drain off the parts, especially when sitting for long periods. Assembly lube stays in place so you know you have adequate lube on those critical parts upon first start. Not trying to tell you what to do (it’s your engine), but I own a small engine repair shop, so I have a lot of experience with air cooled engines and have successfully rebuilt several over the years. And yes, I’ve even had my hands into some V-dubs over the years too.

    • @CTmoog

      Hey John! That is great advice sir! I will make sure all the parts have assembly lube. I just ordered some today. That's awesome man. Where is your shop? It would be cool to hang out sometime. Thank you! Stay tuned!

    most guys will scrub an engine with soap and water after any rebuild type work. Parts have to be next to sterile before assembly. Vapor blast has a grit than can remain in small passages.

    I had a quick look at the head whilst you where taking it off.
    Double check the collets on the valve stems have a visible gap where they meet.
    If not they can be a loose fit on the valve grooves which will eventually drop the valve.
    I sand them on a flat surface until they don't completely close up on the valve stem.
    Stripping the engine was the right choice, if you have concerns now's the time to address them.
    Regarding the oil plunger you will find that the proper tool works great.

    You're absolutely right - dirt and grit MUST be cleaned out of those oil passageways in that block or you'll likely be disaappointed with the results and have accelerated wear and poor performance sooner not later. One suggestion I've seen is to drill out the old case plugs, tap the holes and install something like these in place of the old plugs:
    www.cbperformance.com/product-p/3932.htm,
    www.cbperformance.com/product-p/3931.htm,
    www.cbperformance.com/product-p/3930.htm.
    Once you remove the old case plugs and before the new ones go in, hook up the air compressor to the pressure relief valve opening or to the opening of one of the case plugs you removed and blow all the dirt and grit out of the passages. For me the entire process might look something like this 1) tear down the engine, ie gut the case (remove and place case dowel pins in a baggy for safe keeping) 2) carefully drill out the case plugs 3) tap the holes for the case plugs using an appropriately sized tap 4) reinstall the new threaded case plugs in the links above 5) take everything to the car wash and power wash the heck out of it ( or use a pressure washer at home) note: be careful not to loose any forgotten case dowel pins! 6) blow out the case passageways with a high pressure blast of compressed air 7) reassemble. At this point you can be pretty confident all dirt, grit and magnesium shavings have been completely gotten rid of. Use a new oil cooler if you haven't already to remove the possibility of previous dirt/metal shavings being recirculated in the oil of the new build. On my personal build I did all the above except 2), 3) and 4) but I had my case halves hot tanked and steam-cleaned rather than sandblasted. I think with sandblasting you have to be extra diligent to get everything clean. Take your time and don't put it back together until you're 100% certain it is clean, clean, clean. There is no need to rush it. Every time I get in too big of a hurry or impatient I almost always screw something up! Good luck!!!

    If I’m not mistaken This is the same engine I watched run in one of your videos right? And I’m sure it had oil in it correct? Or you change the oil correct. It’s my opinion that those oil galleries have been flushed out pretty well. At least you’re not dealing with the block that mud Dobber hornets have made their home in. And plugged up all the passages with Clay.
    That being said what I would’ve done, and I’ve done it before.
    Take out your oil pump. I was watching you use a screwdriver, you will booger your case up doing that. They make a oil pump puller for Volkswagen. anyway pull oil pump out. Because the passageway goes directly to that pressure relief valve.
    Get yourself a 14 mm tap… I believe it’s 14 mm. It might be 12. I would just have to check. Take the tap and screw it into the pressure relief valve. It will only go a half a thread or so. Spray some lubricant in there or something And turn that pressure relief valve while you’re pulling. She’ll come out of there. Just keep doing it back-and-forth and back-and-forth, and it will come out. Once you get it out. Use a little emery cloth and clean the valve up. Put some oil in your case Hole Where are the pressure relief valve fits. And run that valve back and forth in there with the tap until you’re satisfied that it it moves freely. Take the whole mess out again, and then use some spray cleaner with the pressure relief hole Pointed downwards. Liquids run downhill remember. Then spray into your oil pump hole, and clean that all out. Lubricate everything back up again and put it together. Bob’s your uncle, you’re done.
    I don’t think it was necessary to split the case. I can understand you’re “better safe than sorry “attitude though. It’s a good way to be.
    Good job great video! Thank you for sharing
