I have to say Darrin, I had to resubscribe (after unsubbing cuz I was tired of hearing you responding to all the drama) because YOU do have the best, most knowledgable videos on the aircooled VW motors. I truly appreciate the quality of the info you consistently give in your videos. You are THE VW GUY and a very valuable resource on RUclips.
I agree with everyone missing your videos on vw motors I been watching you for many years learned a lot, welcome back thank for sharing all your vw experience with us hope the the family and Andrea are all good..
I always enjoy building engines with you Darrin! The Ghia was out today romping in the sunshine! It doesn't like the high altitude yet. I need to rejet the carbs and it will be happier.
You were the first person I actually subscribed to! I’ve been here for all of your videos. From paint videos to race videos to build videos......I’m still here man! Keep us up to date and press that record button!
Thanks for taking the time to post this Darrin. Not that I'd EVER be able to do something this involved but it's super interesting to see how these engines go together!
Man it is good to see a video from you. Thanks for hitting the record button, I always look forward to your updates. We forgot to exchange numbers when we met last month, let me know if you want to get together or need a hand.
FYI....you ARE installing the 6 main case sealing nuts on backwards. The red rubber/plastic seal is meant to create a crush seal between the nut and washer, not meant to act as a nylock. Same holds true for the nuts on the oil pumps.
good job darrin Have you ever heard of using Yamaha bond. for the case halves. guys here like that because was designed for motorcycle engine case halves. similar to vw without gaskets.
Hay Darrin I like your informational show I have a 76 bug and this one was the last one made in Australia.I didn’t have any relationship with my dad even though we were in the same home , I was scared of him in my upbringing as was my siblings and it affects your life then you have kids and they end affected also , but the best thing my parents did was send us kids to Sunday school and there is a god ,so take care I’ll continue to view your vw builds . I view ezgz builds also , if money permitting would enjoy making a trip out to you guys. Text soon 😊Harry.
Darrin thanks for the great video. I have a question you said to only use the spring washers not the flat washers what would happen if I used the flats when I can't find the spring washers? Thanks for your time.
Great to see the vid. I have a question...what do u mean by case cleranced and main being tight. How do u adjust it?. In earlier vid u explained how to clear cam bearing to prevent burn out, but i did not get the beginning info in this vid
Apparently, everyone has their own way of building engines. Maybe working in Aerospace and my attention to details at every step must not be as important as others. WOW!!
Always like watching your videos. On your sump install, do you thread the stud in far enough to put a nut on it inside the case? Or just flush with the inside? Thanks and have a great day!
Darrin I am new to the VW world but have built Chevy race engines most of my young years. I recently purchased a 1974 beetle and plan to “Baja” the beetle. Can you send me your contact information I have several questions I would like to ask you.
Great to see you back in the garage and hit that record button. Never gets old watching your videos. Always learn somthing new on each of your videos.
Man glad to see u back been missing yr videos. Plz keep them comin we need ur knowledge lol..

Welcome back
Good to see your projects
Good to see you back.
Glad to see you back out in the shop. I leave the country for a while on Wednesday.
Thanks for posting. I always learn something new from you
Darrin,
Good to see you again. Missed your videos.
Man it is good to see a video from you. Thanks for hitting the record button, I always look forward to your updates.

Good to see you back Darrin. Keep the videos coming.
It's always good to pre mark the cam gear dots with white paint.
The cam plug tip is new to me. Thanks.
Very good quality video! Thanks for your work!
Thanks..good coverage.
Awesome video man! =) Keep it up!
SWEET!!!
Thanks for the video buddy. :-)

Agreed. I still hate the removal with seal separated from the nut. Seal side down. Case has o rings for sealing main caps.
That brought back memories.
very nice Darrin well done as always my friend.
One word. You fucking rock!
Ok that was more than one. Haha! But YOU are RUclips dude. Love your videos!
Nice old school ripper

something that I can't tell for sure from the video, does the cup on the oil slinger washer go to the flywheel or to the pulley?
What is the best rods too use for a daily drive? Also do you recommend balancing parts?
Hey Darrin, I'm building a similar size motor. What cam and heads are you using here? Is there another video on this?
Darrin, good to see you making vids and building engines. Anything going on with the Nova?
Darrin, what cam lube and engine oil do you use for assembly, and what oil do you run in general (brand and weight)?
Thanks man for sharing you learnt me good hahahah
Darrin, I’m not sure if it’s possible to get you to build an engine for me. If so, please let me know how to contact you
