This video is very timely for me, as I have a seized engine in the 1970 Beetle that I recently purchased. I'd be interested in seeing a teardown of a seized engine, as it would help me when I get around to it in the spring. Thanks! I've enjoyed your videos as they have taught me a lot about Beetles already.
i am a passionate Ford man here in Australia but i will say i have a soft spot for the VW so well engineered and still well sort after . You are a man of many talents and your knowledge is well sort after .
I would put the engine on the engine stand and turn the engine vertical, so that the oil you put in it goes all around the piston rings instead of just one side. Good luck.
Oddly enough I just borrowed my buddies yolk tonight to set my engine on the stand for a Volkswagen engine. I tilted it on its side and letting it soak, now I have to tilt it the other way. I didn’t get it on the stand yet though.
Been There done that!! Slade Now that I cannot work anymore on VW's it hard to watch others work on thier projects. I still love vw's and enjoy watching my you tube friends work on thier projects. I wish you guys lived closer so I could stop by sit in the garage while your working on your cars, then I can drive you nuts with telling you how I did it.
I have been thinking about you Dan, and wondering how you have been doing. I truly wish you did live closer, or we could sit in the garage with our feet up and have coffee. I will definitely get the motor apart, it’s taking a little more effort than I thought. I surely hope you’re enjoying some of your retirement.
I just got one of those engines to turn over. Pulled the heads and beat the Pistons loose in the jugs. Only was stuck in 2 jugs. Ran a honer for a quick minute. Put the heads and push rod tubes back on and all the shrouds. I'll fire it up this weekend. I also expect it to smoke like a chimney! 😂
I just bought a 70 S.B. with no engine cover an sized motor I'm thinking 🤔 I would like to see you tear it down also, but I see you got it freed up! Wish me luck
I poured some more solution of a different kind of that this evening. And started filming. I’ll get it freed up one way or the other. And disassemble it on sale. Thanks for being here Mike.
No No , it was interesting. Enjoyed your real life videos. Wish I had half of what you forgot. Did not have chance to learn or every work on motors. Thanks
Thank you Randy, I will get it apart. I already started on an upcoming video. Even though I should get started on the body work. I mixed up a concoction, and dump it into the cylinders.
Nice try my friend you tried your best and yes I would Injoy to see a engine tare down I Injoy these videos on the VW bug restoration 👍🏻👍🏻🙏god bless and stay safe 😁
It appears to be a nice beam, time will tell. I’m going to save the original German one and rework it. I’ll get it, it’s just being stubborn. Thanks for being here my friend.
Film the teardown! We want to be there when you find the problems. Bigger garage. LOL I have a 4 car garage and still have about the same amount of room to work in as you. They do fill up.
Thank you William, I hope you have been doing well my friend. Oh yeah, if I had a bigger garage it would just be filled up also. I’ve been storing stuff down the basement, I’m sure Heather is not very happy about that lol
Hi Slades. This video may be less than your normal stuff but it was helpful nonetheless. We all need to know that hardly anything will go as WE want it but rather the way IT wants to go. The inability to turn this dual port engine is a good lesson in itself, much gratitude extended to you. My vote is I am very interested in seeing what caused the engine to seize so an extra video showing you tearing it down is a good idea even if you eventually get it to turn. Again, thanks for a good video and please keep them coming and know they are appreciated.
Thank you so much James, I just try to show everything that happens in real life. I don’t believe in editing the films and making everything look perfect. Because then other folks will wonder why things are not working out for them. Just trying to be honest, thank you so much for being part of the community here.
Sorry that engine remained seized. Maybe waiting a while longer might help---I think you are planning other things to do anyway. It will be interesting to see what you can do if those pistons are truly stuck!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks my friend!! I’ll get it!! I’ll keep letting it soak. I definitely want all the original German tins off of it. I better start on the bodywork lol
Back in the day, while its still in the car we used to change the oil fill it with Marvel mystery oil, pull the plugs fill them with Marvel....let her soak over night. We put it in 1st then rock the car back and forth, if that doesn't do it, chain and a friend pulling it down the street popping the clutch, 60% of the time it worked every time
Ouch it is seized but, salvageable. I would let it sit for a few days with the lubricant. I have rebuilt a lot worse, especially when you crack open the case and water is still in it.
Oh it’s definitely seized up, but I will get it my friend. It’s just being stubborn. I mixed up some more solution and tilted the motor on its side tonight. Now I will tilt her at the opposite direction in a couple of days and let it soak some more.
Thanks my friend, that was nice of you to say. I don’t think they would have an interest with me. Lol, I’ll get it to turn I just need to try a few different techniques.
Hi Slade Yep, have seen a few teardown videos on ceased VW motors and not many that old break loose especially with water in the case. You noted at the end that you did later get it to turn so I guess we will see what happened on the next video.
This one is truly being stubborn, I didn’t think it would be that rough. I’m going to pour in a couple of other things. Vinegar usually works quite well.
Please tare down hole Motor I just inherited my grandfathers 1968 bug and she been sitting for 3 years total froze up need all the help I can get thanks for the great videos
Lot's of seized motor owners out here Slade. We'd love to learn from your experience how best to tear down and troubleshoot one. BTW, which motor is yours? I have a 71 1600. Many Thanks - Keep up the good work and be careful with those cheater bars!
Thank you Corey, thank you for being here. I will get it, one way or the other. I just mix the new solution up and poured it inside the cylinders tonight and started filming. The film will be up this week. This is a 1974 engine, when I seen the EGR valve I knew. But I like the auto stick engine blocks because theyre usually not beat up
Love the channel!! I have not seen an episode for cable removal, so, Question on my 62 beetle/Baja... borh the throttle and clutch cables are froze solid in the tunnel. Any advice on breaking them loose?
Rip it apart lol. Specially after you almost busting your A** halfway through the video of trying to break it lose. Time to show it who’s boss. We all know Heather is, but that motor thinks you are lol. Joking. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Never a dull moment. Until next time, have a great day, and stay safe!
Thanks my friend, I just started filming tonight again, I mixed up a different solution to pour inside of the cylinders. I will get it one way or the other. You’re right though, Heather is definitely the boss 😁
@@SladesVWBeetle I seen there was a new video , but only got to watch a few minutes of it this evening.. Looking forward to seeing the results. And was joking about the boss part. It’s great you and Heather can work together. We all enjoy her opinion and dedication also. Have a great night buddy and stay safe out there.
I've known people to let them soak in vinegar! Seems to work well..however I don't see between editing. A dismantle of the heads would be interesting to see. May reveal something simple that can be done to free it up.
You know, I thought about it after I came down the house. I should’ve pulled a valve cover, but I wasn’t thinking straight. I am going to take some vinegar and pour it down in, but at the same time pull the valve cover so I can tell what’s going on. Thanks so much for being here my friend.
Hey Slade! My vote is Film the teardown... even if you have already done it, its great content. I definitely want to see what you discover, as I too have a sized 40 horse that is #Mistys original engine that some day i would like to tear into to see why it failed. I have soaked it long ago with no movement whatsoever. Thanks for the posting. Enjoyed as always. E-🦸♂️
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS thank you, this one’s a nightmare for some reason usually the engines come apart fairly easy. I hope that you and your family are doing very well and ready for Christmas. I have to get over to your channel tonight, and binge watch and catch up.
I wish i would have watched this before i tried to turn my engine over. I purchased an unknown 1600 SP from a 1967 bus. I turned it over without a distributor in it… i sheared the teeth off. What’s my route to fix this? Thanks in advance
I would love to know why you use atf in your free-up? I have always used plain old kerosene. Yes i would like to see at least the part of the teardown where you discover exactly why its seized. There can be many reasons for this.
I’ve had a lot of luck with ATF and PB blast. Sometimes ATF mixed with brake fluid. But this time it failed me for the first. I definitely want to strip it down to the bare block and have the block checked. It’s nice to get the semi auto stick engine because they’re not beat up.
Nice parts haul!! The Empi shocks you got are they the “heavy duty” ones? I’ve been considering them as I’ve read they are kind of between the factory oil and a gas shock, something a little more sporty but won’t beat you to death. Also when you were removing the spark plug, why did you loosen them tighten back and forth? Another great video!!
It says they’re heavy duty, but I can’t speak much for them yet. I spoke with somebody else that was using them, and they said they gave a very nice ride. I do that quite often, on most bolts and nuts, I loosen a little and tighten back in, and do it the whole way out. Seems to clean the threads up nicely.
I appreciate the video definitely into it man, film it and I will watch possibly even try to do one along with you. I'm new but doesn't the "Bigger Hammer" need to be applied to it?
What can I do to ease attempt of freeing my Beetle engine without taking it out. I've pulled out the plugs and they are dry black. It has oil in engine which is black. Car has been laid up years!
What did you use to try and free the motor? I am in the same boat right now but need something to try and turn it. Tried a flywheel turner tool but broke it.
Honestly, I first get a lot of PB blast down through the plug holes. I do that for quite a few days. Usually the rings are stuck in the cylinders. And then of course I use a breaker bar, but be gentle. If possible lol
@SladesVWBeetle yes but what tool do you use? Did you hook something on the flywheel or what are you putting on the shaft to turn with the braker bar? What are you using to turn the part sorry hard to explain. On mine I see where the shaft of the transmission goes into its so didn't know if you made a tool to fit into the splints of the holes to turn it or if it was something that could be bought to fit into it.
@ethangregory8141 Oh OK, I know what you mean now. I just use a 36 mm socket with a breaker bar, and possibly a pipe extension. But, remember to rock back-and-forth gently with it when it starts to move. And also of course make sure those cylinders have oil or lubrication in them to break the rings free. I don’t like using the bolt on the front of the motor, crankshaft pulley, if it is frozen too tightly.
@SladesVWBeetle ok so I have to remove the flywheel to be able to use the socket on it? All I see in that spot is the hole where the shaft from tranny goes into it. And ya I don't wanna use the front bolt I feel like it will brake the bolt and can't rock it back and forth on the side. I wish I could add the picture mine to show you what I mean.
@SladesVWBeetle wanted to say thanks. I figured it out I need to remove the clutch. Sorry new to this. But I really appreciate the videos you make. They will help me work on the bugs I have.
This video is very timely for me, as I have a seized engine in the 1970 Beetle that I recently purchased.

I've enjoyed your videos as they have taught me a lot about Beetles already.
I second your motion Adam. I have a 71 also with a seized motor. I've been doing pan work on it until I figure out what to do with the motor.
Watching this was like therapy for me 😅
@@VolksStokes Thank you! 😁
i am a passionate Ford man here in Australia but i will say i have a soft spot for the VW so well engineered and still well sort after .
You are a man of many talents and your knowledge is well sort after .

It would be good to see the tear down of a sized engine. Thanks your videos are really helpful.
Thank you AJ, I truly appreciate it. Thank you for being here.
I just got one of those engines to turn over. Pulled the heads and beat the Pistons loose in the jugs. Only was stuck in 2 jugs. Ran a honer for a quick minute. Put the heads and push rod tubes back on and all the shrouds. I'll fire it up this weekend. I also expect it to smoke like a chimney! 😂
Sometimes they can be very difficult. This was the toughest one I ever dealt with.
Great video. Be careful WOW. I would like to see you take it down see what's wrong.. Have a great rest of your week...
Thank you so much Eugene, I still have a different solution soaking in it now. So it should come apart very soon.

Yup , show the disassembly, maybe I'll learn more. I'm checking out a good looking 63 for sale , well the photos look good. Hope it is as advertised.
Oh wow, let me know how that goes when you go see it. Hopefully have some good luck, shoot me an email with some pictures if it goes well.
@@SladesVWBeetle okie dokie will do, if it goes well.
GOSH, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate the kind comments.
yes lets see you totally dismantle so we see first hand the condition inside!
Absolutely Carl, and it will be done my friend!
I’d like to see you tear down the engine. I know you would explain a lot of the little things so that would be great
Thanks buddy, I will definitely be tearing it down. I’m still letting it soak it is being stubborn.
Wow that is seized up , great job on keeping it real.sometimes it works sometimes it don’t
Thank you my friend, I hope the house is coming along well for your son? I need to stop over and catch up.
Nice try my friend you tried your best and yes I would Injoy to see a engine tare down I Injoy these videos on the VW bug restoration 👍🏻👍🏻🙏god bless and stay safe 😁
Thank you Antonio I hope that you have been doing well. We’re not done yet, we will get it apart for sure!
That beam looks good. Too bad the engine was seized. You will get it.
It appears to be a nice beam, time will tell.
I’m going to save the original German one and rework it. I’ll get it, it’s just being stubborn. Thanks for being here my friend.
Yeah, you should definitely make a video about that engine. And yes the fun part off bodywork will begin. Nice video Tony👍👍
Thank you my friend, and thanks for always being here for me. I don’t like Bodyworks I’ll try to get it out-of-the-way fast lol
@@SladesVWBeetle yw Tony, that’s how the community works. Helping each other to get a other one on the road. Metalwork is something you love or hate.
No apologies necessary. Your videos are always interesting. If you're willing to film, I'd certainly watch the teardown.
Thank you Gordon!! I’ll do it then! I’m still going to keep soaking those cylinders down. I’m not done yet 😁

try a 50/50 mix of transmission fluid and brake fluid. let it sit for awhile. would like to see you pulling the heads off to see how bad it is
Hey my bro!!! You’re the one that taught me the atf/brake fluid trick.
Oddly enough I just pick some up tonight while I was out.

Sweet I found another vw addict you tuber!
Tough beasts. Take the heads off and tap the pistons.
Absolutely, soon as I let it soak for a few more days, I will just start tearing it down regardless.
My brother used evapOrust on a rusted tractor block and overnight it freed up
I actually have some of that on hand. It seem to work pretty well on small rusty tools that I had. It’s probably not a bad idea.
Ouch it is seized but, salvageable. I would let it sit for a few days with the lubricant. I have rebuilt a lot worse, especially when you crack open the case and water is still in it.
