i found the exact duplicate of the automobile you are driving at the end of the video and that i have seen several times in the past same paint job looks the same in phx, AZ
AWWWWW, THIS HAD TO BE a setup, no hard start, flames or backfires along with mouse nests or blow off of debris.............U R gonna get spoiled by these easy starts ..............U never even opened the dizzy to chek the points! :)) Seriously it's fun to watch U you simple logic to start a engine no matter what make or size...........
I work evenings and was sleeping peacefully when i suddenly woke up feeling a disturbance in the force, I check my phone, no missed calls or messages then I se I got a alert, Mustie one has posted a video titled "will it run". oh hell yes!! sleep can wait!!
Another 30 minutes of therapy, these will it run videos are the best. That first moment of just standing there listening to it run, thinking about and analyzing all the sounds you hear. Yeah man, thats the stuff.
Sir I owe you an apology. I remember getting on your butt about a 1300cc volks engine you were rebuilding and how sloppy you were doing it.I also said I would never let you touch any engine of mine.That was some 2 years ago .Since then I have watched you handle a myriad of projects with total success.I must say in all honesty your diagnostic skills are flawless.Your reasoning on how to proceed under the conditions you work under again are great .You attack projects that most pros would walk away from .,this video is one of many you have done and as usual you are outstanding.What I find amazing is that you are comfortable working on lawn mowers,motor bikes,engines ,carbs. electrical systems,lift trucks and even tractors.That is seven different specialists all in one guy which in todays age is mindblowing in itself. You have the same mindset I had as a young man and that is Nothing mechanical will ever beat me I will succeed and sir you do that with flying colors and I have come to really enjoy your @t not only include the viewer ,you take the time to diagnose and explain what you want to and need to do to succeed in that project ,and of course like Larry the cable guy says "you git er done".My hats off to you and hell you can work on my engines any time you want and I can sleep well knowing you will do it right the first time. @ Yourserviceable ( Dave) you have a great day Sir
The “look back” at Crusty! Classic...I always say, if you get out of a car and DON’T look back at it as you walk away, you bought the wrong car! Engine sounds really good!👍
As always, thank you for the mechanical lesson and the scenic drive: I enjoy visiting different regions of our country, and while I may not feel the bumps in the road, or smell the spring air as you drive, it is still rather enjoyable. Peace-out!
Sweet little engine for that bus. When it finally fired up and ran I could feel the corners of my mouth forming a smile. Good to get a ride in crusty again. Spring is always nice to see things green up. Now I have yard work to add to my activity list
Thanks mustie1 always enjoy your vids love the methods of assesment and care given prior to start up 😎 I used to work in a vw workshop on aircooleds in the seventies brings back memories inc the time setting timing with a strobe leant forward to get a better view of the timing mark and alternator pulley caught my long hair . Wouldn't be problem now as 61 and bald 😄
Seen that bent push rod casing, and then when you didn't find any oil..and it scared me a bit, but then it started right up..think it even surprised you how fast..like it was run last week, instead of 10+ yrs. ago..and no oil leaks! Must have dumped over or something. That high of compression, +some new parts on it, makes you wonder if somebody didn't have that engine done not to long before it was parked. Crusty Loves that spring weather! But you approached that ramp at the lake rather fast! lol
Spring and an old flat four burst into life....Snow and salt are gone, and all's right with the world...Enjoyed the ride too...:) Surprised it started so easily after all that time..
The ole mustie 1 back at it again with another great video . I swear it the best of describing how things work and to think ur just Sharing ur awesome knowledge. Thanks bud I greatly appreciate it👍
Looks like you got a real winner there. The dual port engines are all '71 or later, and it looks like it might have come from a bus, which would make it a '71, because in the US the buses started coming with a Type 4 engine from '72-on. '71 buses also came with 38 A generators, instead of the usual 30 A. If that's the original generator, the output will be stamped on the generator. New brushes will stick up above the brush guides; VW suggests that brushes worn down below the top of the brush guide are worn out. So these are pretty worn, making it possible that this is one of the rare 38 A, '71 bus-only, versions Your starter is from an AT Type 3; MT Type 3s used the same starter as Beetles. The AT starter is also .8 HP, instead of .7, so, in addition to the self-supported drive end, it's an extra good choice for your purposes. I believe the crank end play spec is .003-.006". This one is probably fine. No "CLUNK", so no loose #1 main bearing. ;-) That combination oil pump cover/oil filter base is a problem. It places the oil filter right where the exiting hot air from the #3 & 4 cylinders can heat it up. Adding a filter is a plus, but this way of doing it turns that into a minus. You've got a great engine there, with dual port heads, and the doghouse oil cooler, which is terrific, so get rid of that pump cover and filter when you put this beauty to work.
Well, that was easy. Nice ride too. A lot of those homes look like old school houses, and I like that people can grow Christmas trees in their yards. For a second it looked like you were pulling into R Peeks house, but it was just a boat launch. Thanks Mustie for another great video and detailed explanation on engine end play.
Glad you got the Compression Gauge. I was not sure if you received it. Now we can read the gauge too. grin. How about "Sporty" for the new van name. (for Sportmobile package, not speediness)
Nice that worked out well. I especially liked where you take the necessary steps to avert any damage by checking everything out. Reminds me of my '73 bus. I couldn't believe how smooth a ride that was. It stopped on me once when my neighbor and I were going to a hotel down in NJ on the beach for a weekend. My neighbor got mad because the other guys didn't wait for us. I looked at him and said 'Who cares, we got all the beer with us, lol'. It was just a vapor lock and after a few minutes it started right up and we were on our way.He was kinda funny, he'd be halfway out the window screaming, if he saw somebody do something he didn't like. Thanks for sharing.
Nice dual port motor with oil extension and filter kit, looks like it road down a lot of dirt roads. Doesn't look like it had some salt roads either. Had a friend back in the late 70's collect those vw trucks.
hello from a Brit. Enjoyed your vids over the last few years.We had a garage exactly like yours, it burned down on Saturday.2 triumphs,a bsa,2 ducatis and a sportster,plus equipment.Cause seems like an overnight electrical fault.Before anyone asks no it wasn,t.I don,t want anyone to be down hearted,we,ve had a lifetimes fun in it.Cheers,keep the vids coming!Mike.
Mustie, Thanks for the ride along. Back in the day when folks took their film to the drug store for developing, my Job was to pick them up and delivery the pictures back. The company had several VW vans and it was fun to drive them. Looking out that windshield brought back memories of youth. Great video.
My oh my, you live is some pretty area. I hope to be able to drive up your way sometime in the future. I have really learned a lot on how to diagnose an old VW engine from watching your videos. Thanks for all you do to help further the lively hood of our older mechanicals.
Every time you upload a VW vid it makes me want to buy one just for the fun of rebuilding it more and more. Wish I had done so back when a half running bug could be had for 500 bucks....
When I was 15 and a half, had my first car. A Nissan 240at that burned a quart a week. It got low the first week I got it. I didn't realize you only needed to use the dipstick. I thought you just filled the whole damn engine up to the cap on the valve cover... That day I learned you could put 14 quarts of oil in a KA24E. It ran, too. Badly, but it made it home and my dad was torn between killing me or laughing his head off at me.
That engine seems really good, don't forget to block the carb and exhaust ports up from the evil mice lol. Im sure a regular run is good for vehicles, drives out the damp and gets oil/grease moving again :-).
In my experience a snake got I into water hose to engine it caused a blockage in the cooling system of a golf was heating up intermittently. Till I gave it a flush. And discovered it problem solved
Out of all the engines you got throughout your deals that's probably the best one I've seen yet for not having to do hardly anything to it except to hook some power up and fuel
I have been watching your videos for about a month now, I applied your method of troubleshooting to one of my generators that wouldn't start. I got it running and it sounds great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
VW'S are so fun, Back in the 70's I rebuilt my VW bus engine and I finished it off by installing a Ford Pinto 2 barrel 2 stage progressive linkage carb. The difference was astounding after swapping out the 2 venturi's the bus took off on the hill at 75 mph. I also increased the size of the jugs and pistons. Plus I added SCR electronic ignition all of which increased my fuel mileage by 10 mpg. giving me an overall mpg. of 27 mpg.
Mustie1..another great video. Thank you for doing what you do. I have a small channel where I am restoring my high school beetle. Your channel keeps me motivated to keep moving forward! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for the video tour of your part of the world. Absolutely beautiful countryside - reminds me of the part of Oregon that I grew up in. Beats big city living hands down IMHO. And Crusty’s gotta be a kick in the shorts to drive. Single and double cabs are so hard to find without emptying your pockets; a rust-oration makes so much more sense.
Darren the Poet who revives motors, infuse life in old objets get revived too comes Spring Time. An Artist I'm telling you !! 👍👍 BTW, nice country surroundings in N.H.
Always a pleasure learning by watching a master who’s probably forgotten more than I’ll ever pick up! Glad your trip was safe and such an awesome score!
What I find so inspiring about your channel is how you teach, more like a dad hanging out with his child. You explain the how and why along with . . .lets try this . . .and if that doesn't work we'll just get creative . . . . .may you have a long life . . .D Oktim
Can’t believe you ran that engine so long without any water!! I use to own a 1965 VW, and a VW van. They’re fun to drive! I believe my car had either 32 or 36 Hp
@gasarse yeah these older vw engines take a special coolant. Its makeup is a mix of oxygen,nitrogen, and hydrogen. Depending on the area you live in the coolant quality varies and may contain other components. Still way cheaper priced than these modern day ethylene glycol based coolants.
Travis Lazenby No wonder I could never find the radiator on my two VW ‘s Also the fool heaters on them sucked badly. Volkswagen means people’s car in Deutsch. I believe had it built for the common man. The Volkswagen thing was nothing more than a German Jeep. I believe the Germans also used the engine in a light plane during ww2
Nice addition to the engine hoard! Enjoyed the Crusty ride through beautiful NH. I too have been driving the wheels off my toys before that thermonuclear heat from our nearest star turns everything in Texas to charcoal next month, haha.
I have enjoyed watching you test fire several air cooled VW engines now - an idea: build yourself a “test stand” for these engines. You could just bolt it to the piece of trans housing you already have. A simple panel with battery connections/cables, and some switches with leads on them to plug to the idle solenoid (if applicable), the choke and ignition coil. If you want to make a real project out of this (I would watch it for sure) add wire leads and a voltmeter to check the generator/alternator! Of course, something to see oil pressure: could be a wire to use the oil pressure switch with a light in the panel, but you may want to also provide for a mechanical gauge with an adapter to replace the switch for more info on the actual pressure. Enjoy!
Very well done again. I'm happy that the new old great camper bus has a really good engine (although I love to watch you working on engines it is also very nice watching you having luck). Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards.
thats the great things about those old bug engines , you can start them up on a bench , work all the bugs out of then and stuff them back in ..... great find .....
Informational and educational,more people need to see this kinda stuff (these days) imo . That engine sounds really solid,I'd give it some extra love (when the time come to play with it). Excellent video ! (as always )
Put you a note on the engine that says, "Hey Mustie, this is a great engine with great compression, thank you for storing me in the hoard for the past three years but I'm ready to go!"
You "will" find all you need in his archives, right here! I'm wondering if that degree wheel on the front pulls is factory or did someone add that. I've never seen one unless it was installed later. 😃 cheers!
Great video Mustie! How close are you to Avoca? You and SMA (Eric O) would make an interesting colab? Fixing rusty junk together maybe? Just a thought.
Really enjoyed the drive at the end of your vlog. You live in a very pleasant part of the world - plenty of room and some fine houses. I suppose it would be difficult living there without wheels - but, hey, the wheels are all part of the fun.
Runs like you just shut it off five minutes before.. Seems like 160psi is high for a stock dual port. Wonder if that has some high compression pistons in it
I know it's some irrelevant but my old 02 Ford Focus 1.6 with 11-1 compression ratio had 180 psi on the good cylinders. Know it because i burnt a valve due to loooong time heavy oil consumption. Turns down to bad oil controls rings. The compressions ring was fine on it. Just for a reference there 😊
Crusty is my favorite vw bus I have seen. Perfect patina, mechanically solid, and very practical with that bed. I am so jealous!!! I have watched your series on her at least twice all the way through!!!
starter is out of an auto trans, not a type 3, my mistake,
Mustie, had to be one of you easier engine startups! Sweet! That VW truck has a Bitchin Nascar Mode also! 😎
i found the exact duplicate of the automobile you are driving at the end of the video and that i have seen several times in the past same paint job looks the same in phx, AZ
AWWWWW, THIS HAD TO BE a setup, no hard start, flames or backfires along with mouse nests or blow off of debris.............U R gonna get spoiled by these easy starts ..............U never even opened the dizzy to chek the points! :)) Seriously it's fun to watch U you simple logic to start a engine no matter what make or size...........
Sounds awesome!
I wish engines half as old would sound this decent
wondered about that!
I work evenings and was sleeping peacefully when i suddenly woke up feeling a disturbance in the force, I check my phone, no missed calls or messages then I se I got a alert, Mustie one has posted a video titled "will it run". oh hell yes!! sleep can wait!!
I know the feeling well!
That little vw truck is very neat and cute.
I´m impressed that the engine starts and runs so smooth.
@@aliceshaw8265 I know, i know.... 😉
@Repeat After Me: Exactly.
Spoilers! Haha
No VW can resist Mustie love!
It's a VW! Of course it fired up!!! I say that as someone who has never owned or worked on one! haha. I just love the engineering of these engines.
Always good to see another one run without a full tear down!
Another 30 minutes of therapy, these will it run videos are the best.
That first moment of just standing there listening to it run, thinking about and analyzing all the sounds you hear. Yeah man, thats the stuff.
Wrenching in the garage, lovely drive, and a very clean windscreen.thank you mustie
Really good for me too in Australia as it is going into winter.
Man, you live in a beautiful part of the country!

You got me watching another of your vids lol even have my coffee with me
@@mustie1 Have to give you what your due and you have my full respect Mustie wish I knew your name lol
The “look back” at Crusty! Classic...I always say, if you get out of a car and DON’T look back at it as you walk away, you bought the wrong car! Engine sounds really good!👍
true, that and when you are making something l do the same, if not you arent feeling it
Where in Upstate NY is 450 miles from NH ? Seriously enjoy wrenching with you Mustie1 !
As always, thank you for the mechanical lesson and the scenic drive: I enjoy visiting different regions of our country, and while I may not feel the bumps in the road, or smell the spring air as you drive, it is still rather enjoyable. Peace-out!

That engine is a winner ! It will be good to see that bus take shape. Crusty is running great thanks for taking us along for a ride.
Spring and an old flat four burst into life....Snow and salt are gone, and all's right with the world...Enjoyed the ride too...:)
Surprised it started so easily after all that time..
A tip for all who have foggy hard to read gauges. Use some Brasso on a cotton ball to polish up foggy lenses to make them easy to read again.
Gotta be the best flat 4 I've seen you tinker with Mustie...High compression, well balanced runner and so smooth to...A keeper for sure...🤔😯😀🇬🇧

Morning coffee and Mustie. This looks to be the start of a good day.
You gave me a memory when I was a kid. We use to hot wire VW and take ride. Thank you for the memory.
Well, that was easy. Nice ride too. A lot of those homes look like old school houses, and I like that people can grow Christmas trees in their yards. For a second it looked like you were pulling into R Peeks house, but it was just a boat launch. Thanks Mustie for another great video and detailed explanation on engine end play.
Thank you very much for taking us along for the ride. Beautiful place you have there. Please feel free to make more road test videos.
Glad you got the Compression Gauge. I was not sure if you received it. Now we can read the gauge too. grin.
How about "Sporty" for the new van name. (for Sportmobile package, not speediness)
Thanks for your kind donation to his channel!
You are welcome.
and thank you for the gift, it works well,
Cool biz. You are welcome. Love your videos.
Sporty works for me. 'To the Sportmobile, Lily!'

That engines sounds pretty good for on that has been sitting up for a while. Nice drive you had there.
Thanks I really enjoy the small engine stuff . I tackled a few things made mistakes but learned a few thing from it thank you
Nice dual port motor with oil extension and filter kit, looks like it road down a lot of dirt roads. Doesn't look like it had some salt roads either. Had a friend back in the late 70's collect those vw trucks.
Kinda cool running flames out the exhaust about a foot from that open gas can. Mustie Danger
“Remember safety third”
The danger is only slight...it would require a concentration of gasoline vapor and a closed space, and neither of those were present.
The gas can wasn't that near of the fire. It's fine.
One of the better running that has been in your shop!!
Almost 22k Views Video came out today! Your getting big man looks like alot of people Love your videos i'm one of them! Much love!
hello from a Brit.
Enjoyed your vids over the last few years.We had a garage exactly like yours, it burned down on Saturday.2 triumphs,a bsa,2 ducatis and a sportster,plus equipment.Cause seems like an overnight electrical fault.Before anyone asks no it wasn,t.I don,t want anyone to be down hearted,we,ve had a lifetimes fun in it.Cheers,keep the vids coming!Mike.
I hope we don't have to wait until Sunday for the next video!! No pressure! Have a great rest of the week!
Man, Sunday is Mustie1 day, sitting here Sunday with a cuppa, and a sandwich. Prefect way to spend a day I particularly don't like.
Mustie, Thanks for the ride along. Back in the day when folks took their film to the drug store for developing, my Job was to pick them up and delivery the pictures back. The company had several VW vans and it was fun to drive them. Looking out that windshield brought back memories of youth. Great video.
*Nice Tip on the Starter, I need a new one for my Dune Buggy LOL!*
_Did not know i could run that type of starter LOL!_
My oh my, you live is some pretty area. I hope to be able to drive up your way sometime in the future. I have really learned a lot on how to diagnose an old VW engine from watching your videos. Thanks for all you do to help further the lively hood of our older mechanicals.
Nice! Well that's a good start to your new bus project.
Every time you upload a VW vid it makes me want to buy one just for the fun of rebuilding it more and more. Wish I had done so back when a half running bug could be had for 500 bucks....
When I was 15 and a half, had my first car. A Nissan 240at that burned a quart a week.

That day I learned you could put 14 quarts of oil in a KA24E.
It ran, too. Badly, but it made it home and my dad was torn between killing me or laughing his head off at me.
Had a friend that filled the engine with water thinking it was the fill for the radiator!
I used to live in MA. Half of my friends moved to southern NH. lol . I get homesick for New England watching your videos.
That engine seems really good, don't forget to block the carb and exhaust ports up from the evil mice lol.
Im sure a regular run is good for vehicles, drives out the damp and gets oil/grease moving again :-).
In my experience a snake got I into water hose to engine it caused a blockage in the cooling system of a golf was heating up intermittently. Till I gave it a flush. And discovered it problem solved
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I just realized I drive by your place every day on the way to work
For sure it runs Sir. BIG THUMBS UP
Great crusty ride
bet you dont want to race this one,
😀
Out of all the engines you got throughout your deals that's probably the best one I've seen yet for not having to do hardly anything to it except to hook some power up and fuel
I love the bubbling sound these engines make when the exhaust isnt fitted. :)
lol bubble pop pop
I have been watching your videos for about a month now, I applied your method of troubleshooting to one of my generators that wouldn't start. I got it running and it sounds great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Just started watching it... woohoo; VW content!! Love it!!! Much respect as always, sir! ✌
VW'S are so fun, Back in the 70's I rebuilt my VW bus engine and I finished it off by installing a Ford Pinto 2 barrel 2 stage progressive linkage carb.

Score! Nice no leaks, no smoke dual port motor.

I never had a second thought about V W No interest until the Mustie 1. Now it appears I have the BUG.
I had a 66 bus about 1973... that engine looks like it's in fine shape, no rust on the tins, hope she runs as good as it looks!
Mustie pissing off the mice off again, blowing their nests around. Sounds better than my old van engine just setting on the bench.
Thanks for the video tour of your part of the world. Absolutely beautiful countryside - reminds me of the part of Oregon that I grew up in. Beats big city living hands down IMHO.

You are the man Mustie! I really have a great time wrenching with you. Thanks for the opportunity
Sweet little donk! Heaps better that rough one you had a couple of months ago.
Always a pleasure learning by watching a master who’s probably forgotten more than I’ll ever pick up! Glad your trip was safe and such an awesome score!
a bit of Mustie magic had it on full chat in no time. Looking forward to the bodywork videos for the camper when you get around to it
What I find so inspiring about your channel is how you teach, more like a dad hanging out with his child. You explain the how and why along with . . .lets try this . . .and if that doesn't work we'll just get creative . . . . .may you have a long life . . .D Oktim
Can’t believe you ran that engine so long without any water!! I use to own a 1965 VW, and a VW van. They’re fun to drive! I believe my car had either 32 or 36 Hp
Those are air cooled correct?
@gasarse yeah these older vw engines take a special coolant. Its makeup is a mix of oxygen,nitrogen, and hydrogen. Depending on the area you live in the coolant quality varies and may contain other components. Still way cheaper priced than these modern day ethylene glycol based coolants.
That's what I thought. I don't know much about old vw's but I was pretty certain about that

Nice addition to the engine hoard! Enjoyed the Crusty ride through beautiful NH. I too have been driving the wheels off my toys before that thermonuclear heat from our nearest star turns everything in Texas to charcoal next month, haha.
I WANT Crustie. Love that thing.
Now he's gottta get that Plymouth Convert outof storage
Enjoyed the ride in the 1959 Single cab VW Truck, That vehicle sure can go. That was cool you got the motor working.
Love all your videos. I do what you to work on more small motors
I have enjoyed watching you test fire several air cooled VW engines now - an idea: build yourself a “test stand” for these engines. You could just bolt it to the piece of trans housing you already have. A simple panel with battery connections/cables, and some switches with leads on them to plug to the idle solenoid (if applicable), the choke and ignition coil. If you want to make a real project out of this (I would watch it for sure) add wire leads and a voltmeter to check the generator/alternator! Of course, something to see oil pressure: could be a wire to use the oil pressure switch with a light in the panel, but you may want to also provide for a mechanical gauge with an adapter to replace the switch for more info on the actual pressure. Enjoy!
That thing sounds fantastic.
Man, this baby purrs like you just rebuilt it! Congrats on the comp Guage. Like my old man's cellphone, nice BIG numbers. AND, no smoke. Sweet!
I haven’t watched yet, but Bus engine VS Mustie1, it will run. :-)
SimonAsh. I haven't seen many things that he quit on. Hmmm....maybe one thing??
Very well done again.
I'm happy that the new old great camper bus has a really good engine (although I love to watch you working on engines it is also very nice watching you having luck). Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards.
Nice motor. You need to build yourself a minimal wiring harness to make hooking these up quick and easy :)
thats the great things about those old bug engines , you can start them up on a bench , work all the bugs out of then and stuff them back in ..... great find .....
The first video of May. The merry merry month of May. Happy Mayday everybody!
John Possum Same to you. 😎
Informational and educational,more people need to see this kinda stuff (these days) imo . That engine sounds really solid,I'd give it some extra love (when the time come to play with it). Excellent video ! (as always )
Send it back!! Not a big enough challenge for mr mustie
Incredible that they put this tiny engine in a family sized bus. Fun video.
IF it dont run it soon will when Mustie1 s fingers get on it.. great vid..
reminds me of the old YT channel WILL IT BLEND??????????????????? this is WILL IT START?????????????????
Put you a note on the engine that says, "Hey Mustie, this is a great engine with great compression, thank you for storing me in the hoard for the past three years but I'm ready to go!"
Man I need your help haha! Just bought a VW beetle with a tricked out engine but it’s been sitting 23 years! Any tips?!
You "will" find all you need in his archives, right here! I'm wondering if that degree wheel on the front pulls is factory or did someone add that. I've never seen one unless it was installed later. 😃 cheers!
Gonna need some pb blaster

Thank you for the joyride
if mustie1 was a doctor, NO ONE WOULD DIE!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Can't believe you would let it run like that without a radiator.
Air -cooled flat four VW engines are indeed prone to radiator leaks that's why Mustie ran her without 🤔
Can't thank you enough for videos like this one! I enjoy them immensely and learn so much! Thank you, sir.
Great video Mustie! How close are you to Avoca? You and SMA (Eric O) would make an interesting colab? Fixing rusty junk together maybe? Just a thought.
Really enjoyed the drive at the end of your vlog. You live in a very pleasant part of the world - plenty of room and some fine houses. I suppose it would be difficult living there without wheels - but, hey, the wheels are all part of the fun.
Runs like you just shut it off five minutes before.. Seems like 160psi is high for a stock dual port. Wonder if that has some high compression pistons in it
Greg M. Looking at the aftermarket oil filter mount and the fact it's a dual port I wouldn't be surprised if Mustie finds some secrets inside.
I know it's some irrelevant but my old 02 Ford Focus 1.6 with 11-1 compression ratio had 180 psi on the good cylinders. Know it because i burnt a valve due to loooong time heavy oil consumption. Turns down to bad oil controls rings. The compressions ring was fine on it. Just for a reference there 😊
Thanks for the ride along. Nice scenery. Love that time of year.
How bout that motor scooter in the background?
what a great find, that engine runs great considering it sat forever.....another awesome video by Mustie1. thanks brother!!
Worst Will it run ever! that's almost a new engine! Great score!!
Villa Nova Farms spoiler alert!
Hi mustie 1 love your work you are god of engine you gave life to all old engine a new life extraordinary work from you cheers.
That was too easy, go find a crappier engine.
Aruneh 😂
Crusty is my favorite vw bus I have seen. Perfect patina, mechanically solid, and very practical with that bed. I am so jealous!!! I have watched your series on her at least twice all the way through!!!
I didn't watch a video , but let me guess - yes it will ?
What a beautiful job. What a beautiful ride.
Thank you, Mustie! It's always a great joy to watch your videos!
Musties marvellous Mayday motor running motoring mechanical manoeuvres.
Golf Man nice alliteration there! 👍🏼
You live in a lovely area.
