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.
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.
Let me know if you need help, bro. This was my first engine build and I definitely learned a lot from it. I live in the South Bay, close to LAX If you're anywhere close to that area
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.
Yup! over the course of two years, I spent the majority restoring/repairing/sourcing parts and didn't record any of that. Disassembly and reassembly is quick. But parts are harder and harder to find for these.
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?
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!
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?
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!!
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
Hey bud. No trick at all, it just slid right in with no issues for me. Just make sure the woodruff key is pushed in all the way as it should be a snug fit
short answer, yes, type 1 and type 3 engine cases/transmissions can pretty much bolt up to each other. my spare transmission that I have laying around is off of a bug and I use it to mount a starter motor and bench test my engine. Just take note of the size of the starter bushing that's inside of the transmission though. I covered this on Episode 10 and 11 in my playlist. something to do with 6 volt and 12 volt differences i think. if that's all squared away, you should be all good.... the biggest thing is that the cooling aspect of the type 3 differs from the type 1 in that the type 1 has the doghouse shroud thing ontop and the type 3 has the cooling shroud in the front of the engine (opposite end of the flywheel). because of this, the type 3 engine may not be cooled properly on a buggy. I'm not sure, you may be okay since it's a lot more open back there for a dune buggy.
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
@@bigears4426 Jeremy is not using stock Type -3 deflector tin under the barrels which is likely why you missed seeing it. He installed Type-1 deflector tin instead. That is the same tin I assemble all my Type-3 engines with as well. Type 3 deflector tin appears like it should cool better, at least on a Type-3 engine design. It does not. It is good for throwing as far as you can and not looking back.
I learned a lot from youtube; following several channels and learning about VW's from various sites such as TheSamba.com. I actually have my build thread for this in there, feel free to check it out. Link is in the description :D I also have 3 books, the first two of which I used heavily 1. Haynes Manual (haynes.com/en-us/volkswagen/type-3/1963-1973) 2. Bentley, Workshop Manual - My square is a 67, so I used the blue one. 68 and up use the brown bentley. www.bentleypublishers.com/volkswagen/repair-information/vw-type-3-manual-61-67-lpv800139.html) 3. How to Rebuild Your Volkswagen air-Cooled Engine (All models, 1961 and up) - This one was a bit too wordy for me. I liked the first two because they had a lot of pictures and exploded view diagrams. (www.amazon.com/Rebuild-Volkswagen-air-Cooled-Engine-models/dp/0895862255)
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.
I wanted to make this project as inexpensive as possible, so I took my time. It took me just under 2 years to complete. I don't think I'd want to do another one anytime soon since I still have the squareback to work on, but I'd be happy to provide some input if you decide to do your own. Feel free to reach out!
I just used some generic exhaust header pipe wrap from amazon, however, didn't use the clamps that came with it. I bought separate ones. links are shown below. Make sure to soak the wraps in water before applying it though. also, wear gloves and a long sleeve shirt. I was itchy for days haha. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015OVU9BE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHSPJD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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.
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.
Yup. Block is exactly the same, less where the oil filler tubs sits. Main difference between a Type 1 and Type 3 motors is the cooling. Type 3 has the Suitcase "pancake" style
@@jeremydoc True, I've never seen one like this before, let alone the assembly part of it. I live in Brazil, and we have a LOT of beetles(fusca here) and vw buses(kombi for us). This type 3 engine looks a little bit more complicated to assembly, but it's more compact and also flat, really nice video. ;)

yup, will fit a notchback. It's a type 3 motor. and yes, Pinoy haha. What was the name of your classmate?
Great video!! Nice sounds!! Really enjoyed watching. Thank you!
Excellent work!
Glad you like it!
Fantastic build video!
Excelente video, no hay forma de equivocarse, gracias.
Wow that looks just amazing 😍😍😍 I wish I had that kind of ability
Nice music, very good work, great video !

why wraps on heat exchangers

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

Trust me, tins under the barrels are installed. You can see them at 3:50 when I was installing the push rode tubes.

@@bigears4426 Jeremy is not using stock Type -3 deflector tin under the barrels which is likely why you missed seeing it. He installed Type-1 deflector tin instead.

vgmutah yes I saw he did use them all early type 3 used the same as type 1 , his filming went a bit fast for me to see him install them
awesome
