It's an remarkably easy engine to rebuild. ty for taking time to show it though - as I did that work myself many years ago, it reminded me of how it were done. :)
Takes me back. My first car was a 59 Beetle for $250. It was running but tired in 1971. Me and dad dismantled it, got all the rust out, zinc treated it, repainted.Then we fixed up the suspension and braking. The engine rebuild was done by experts, not us. We fixed up all the peripherals. It was only a 1200 but it ran so sweet. Nice memories with dad too. The beetle driving off at the end was a nice touch.
A college girlfriend had a bug of early 70s vintage. Somewhere along the line I got turned on toa borrowed copy of John Muir's how to keep your Volkswagen alive; a manuall of step by step procedures for the compleat idiot. The girlfriend, the car a just mories. The book was returned to the owner. I saw a copy on ebay & bought it for the read. Entertaining book.
I had a teacher in grade school who had an older green bug that had a few dents in it. What she ended up doing to hide them was to paint a bunch of daisies on it, making for a very distinctive car. I visited her a few years ago, and asked about it. She was amused that I still remembered the car after all these years (40 years ago now), and said she’d driven it until it was too clapped out to fix, and she had it hauled away.
@Juden Arier … It used way less fuel than most cars of it's time but 25 mpg is not great when you consider Toyota and Datsun were reaching well into the 35 mpg range by the mid 70s. By 1978 you could buy a Japanese car that was getting almost 50 mpg and accelerating to highway speed in half the time. Still in all it was a remarkable car with a design rooted in the late 1930s.
@@rupe53 you're right on those japanese cars getting amazing mileage for the time but the beetle had literally no competition in durability and mileage in the US during the 60's
@@hagglundguy … personally I don't feel most people were looking for mileage in the 60s when gas was around 23 cents per gallon. It was cute, quirky, nimble, and took up no space in the garage or parking lot. Also consider that by the mid 60s you could buy a mid sized Mustang, Falcon, or even a Plymouth for only about $500 more.... then there was the Corvair. OTOH, by the time those were popular the bug was entrenched in society by a good 15 years, outselling all the other imports combined. It took another 10 years (mid 70s) for the Japanese imports to catch up. By then the old bug was doomed in this country due to emissions and crash regulations.

My dad drove beetles for his winter car. I got to drive them spring summer and fall. He finally gave me one when I was at university. It was the beater of beaters but it ran great and was great in snow. Dropped a valve on one…#3 by the oil cooler. That’s when I saw the engine taken apart like this and rebuilt. It’s a real skill and I appreciate your skill at doing this…and video in fast motion….😅…oh yah…my dad was pissed because nit cost about $800.00 to do it.
Heard the term " complete engine teardiwn" but never saw one...Amazing. And many excellent mechanics take apart in a sequence like this & memorize everything, so they can go back the other way & re-assemble without skipping a beat. Hats off to your skills!
A VW beetle was one of the most reliable engines. I drove one for years when I was an apprentice mech. Pulled the motor in the dark, it was so easy. Great old Ferdinand!!!
25 HP was quite good for a car that size when it was introduced, but it is outdated 1930s tech, idk why there are no modern air cooled car engines, they are so reliable!
Evidently, I have some sort of fascination with time-lapse engine rebuilds… saw the Hemi Firepower one the other day, and have now watched four more. Very satisfying! I used to restore VW’s, and a well built engine, detailed just right, was my favourite part of the car! Great work! Thank you. Ron, Tasmania, Australia
Amazing work! Love how you rectified the connecting rods instead of replaciing them. There is an oil pump for the fuel injected bugs, that has the conection for an oil filter, and fits perfectly in the carburated engines. It's always a good add on to prolong the oil's lifespan. Regards!
I'd rather drill and tap the case for a remote full flow filter and, if I drove the Bug in a hot climate, another external oil cooler. Oil does most of the cooling on those air cooled engines.
everything I needed to know to care for my beetle engines, I learned in a high school industrial arts class breaking down and rebuilding a simple air cooled lawn mower engine.
Paying a talented mechanic for their time, talent, tools and knowledge is worth every penny! There's definitely and art to rebuilding a motor, and this man's a Rembrandt with a wrench!

Off topic but desiel engines dont require a carburator or spark plugs do they? But they have glow plugs to preheat the fuel? Would that also mean they do not require a distributor too? And are all diesel engines fuel injected? I'm still learning.
@@ripp3rjak934 You are correct on all points. They fire based off of injection timing and just the shear compression ignites the diesel. Most diesels are direct injected, however, a few use indirect injection but all are injected.
Peter Morris you can buy fairly simple rail systems you just mount on a tripod. Usually you program it to move either for a bit between shots or just tell it to move for x mm per minute or something similar. It’s nice for stopmotion also.
What would the charge be (ballpark) if I were to drive my '69 beetle over and have the same done (stock 1500 single to be left as stock as possible)? Any idea. No need to make a video though :-)
I love this work. This, is and has never been available to me in any town I reside in. I have never seen good engine work from a shop. And I'm 44 years old. This is how it's done and it's done very well.
I love watching these rebuilds. It makes me happy to see these old engines being brought back to life :) But can I confess how that little crankshaft is the most adorable thing ever. It's so short and small I can hear it huff and puff "I'm a real crankshaft too you guys!" and all the bigger cranks are like "Yes, yes... Sure you are."
*If it were not for the air cooling system, it is a simple aircraft engine, one of the simplest car engines. The work of many hours simplified into minutes is amazing. Congratulations*
"When I retire, I want to own a Volkswagen. Because by then, I'll have enough money to buy the tools to work on the engine." --A friend of mine about 20 years ago
@SeaMonkey137 I do not know BMW, but the only special tool, other than the engine stand (if the engine is out it is no longer basic) I bought was the socket and alignment tool for the flywheel. And a torque wrench. Everything else was easily kept in a rather small box about the volume of a bread loaf.
Around 2000, he should have been able to buy at least 3 volkswagens and been able to build 1800+cc engines for them with electronic ignition distributors, twin 40mm progressive vertical draft webbers with aircraft grade heim joint linkage, spring loaded pushrod tubes, external oil cooler, biggest valves you can stuff in the heads, and nice peppy cams. I've built an 1835cc dual port motor a time err two for a trike i put many hours into. Also made a 1600cc single port out of the good parts from two bad motors. One split a valve and locked down two cylinders, the other had an issue with the crank eating up oil seals. So i put the good top end and bottom end together in one night and carried it 150 yards from my shop door, mounted it up on the old sand rail, adjusted the valve lash and ignition timing, and fired it up at 6AM. im only 27 currently. I was oh 17 turning 18 when i did all that. Seems to me one thing that can fail on these engines is the valves. For some reason they like to split.
When I was a kid we went on holiday with one of those. Mom and dad on the front seats and 3 brothers in the back! An all baggage in the front compartment, but no suitcases, just the clothing directly stuffed in! It was always a lot of fun during the rides with these beetles.
Awesome video and great work! Your video has inspired me to fully capture the engine rebuild on my ‘66 Beetle... fully disassembled now, and organizing everything to reassemble. Editing the clips into videos is proving to be as much of a learning curve as rebuilding these aircooled engines (this is my first).
Que video tan bueno!!! Desde pequeño he visto al VW escarabajo como uno de los autos más hermosos!!! Gracias amigos por devolverle la vida a ese auto, se lo merece!!!
I love these videos. I now imagine I do this same process with my snowblower, mower, and ice auger but I'm really just drinking beer and cleaning that carb.
Me and my husband are both volkswagen lover here in Philippines... I uploaded also the volkswagen engine he rebuild... And I am so proud of him....... God bless and keep up the good work sir!
Great video! Very impressive rebuilding project. Either you two made no sequencing mistakes and you put each part on in the correct order, or you edited the footage brilliantly and made yourselves look perfect! In any case, great work! 😊😊😊😊 👍👍👍👍
Great thing about recording in detail if you miss where a part went or had one extra screw you can always run the footage back to where the mistake was made and why
Wow.. Great Job!! I rebuilt many of this type of engine but never been easy to rebuilt, Crank shaft bearings have two sizes from out side and inside even three are circles with different sizes and one half circle. A bit complicated to rebuilt it but finally it is a German masterpiece 👍
I used to do this back in Philadelphia , mij fater was number 1 in rebuilding these engines ik took him almost 3 hours inclusief instalment and test drive
Lovely video. Done this a few times in the 80's to my father in law's Beetle. Very easy to remove and to recondition. Parts were cheap back then.Thanks for bringing youth memories back.
This was awesome! Great job filming, and documenting. I had to watch it with the sound muted. It would have been cool to hear narration about the build. Bugs deserve so much love.
Você viu que em todo lugar é esse modelo de fusca que aparece, aí mostram um fusca alemão que não veio ao BR, que é diferente e moderno e uns bocós falam que os BR são fim do mundo e tudo mais.
What a great engine. My uncle Kenny owned a tavern in Newark N.J. in the 70s. A customer parked his beetle in the side lot came out 10 minutes later and the engine was gone.
Only 4 bolts hold the engine in the car. Other than that it’s pretty much just a couple of hoses, a few wires and the throttle cable. The engine weighs somewhere around 200lbs so 2 people can carry one without too much difficulty. I’d love to know what the record time for removing one is.
I had added an external oil cooler and a magnetic drain plug to the engine in my 1967 VW Van. Along with a Porsche oil filter, sheet metal air scoops, and a cut-out door over the engine compartment, a beautiful enamel coated flywheel rounded out my additions to it. I still miss it 😭.
When I was a 6 year old kid sitting in my mom's car at the market in 1959 I saw three men in a pick up truck steal a Volkswagen engine in under two minutes .
Sweet! My sister had a VW slapstick she had it painted like Herbie, winter time in Chicago is a beast, Herbie always started and never got stuck like chuck! But that heater was totally useless she always had blankets for all four passengers until it warmed up! Nice rebuild done by professionals!
Absolutely loved video, wish it had been about 25 percent this speed, watching it and knowing how much work was being done it made my balls ache from the tension. After I recover I will watch it again. Absolutely the best of video I have ever seen. Congratulations on the job and the video.
Cuando todos los del video son ingleses. Oye que onda sentar a tu hijo atras con ese BRUUUUUUM BRUUUUUUM super duro, por que el motor esta atras es decir en el asiento de atras es donde esta la verdadera musica
I love the 1600 flat 4, but the only thing I would have done differently is eliminate the points, and put a Pertronix Ignitor in the dizzy. That turns it into an electronic ignition, and gives a more consistent spark, with better fuel efficiency. Just my humble opinion.
I personally rebuild more than 50 type one and type 2&3 also 356 a, b, c models now I am looking backwards 71 years old an have to say I spend money and time I loved every moment of it. Now stuff is going to be rare and knowledge lost. I made special tools. Lin boring my cam and main bearing. Run Solex eis carburettor, Weber's or zenith. Gene berg, California had a lot of options. Orcasa Germany had roller crankshafts.. Good old times.

Estou bravo com você por isso que eu mandei essa carinha brava para123ABC
What a great engine. My uncle Kenny owned a tavern in Newark N.J. in the 70s. A customer parked his beetle in the side lot came out 10 minutes later and the engine was gone.
Only 4 bolts hold the engine in the car. Other than that it’s pretty much just a couple of hoses, a few wires and the throttle cable.
The engine weighs somewhere around 200lbs so 2 people can carry one without too much difficulty.
I’d love to know what the record time for removing one is.
tinfoilhat38 it’s gotta be pretty fast. My personal best is 14 minutes on my bus.
Great video and a trip Down memory lane. I have done this many times from 1967- 71.
I had added an external oil cooler and a magnetic drain plug to the engine in my 1967 VW Van. Along with a Porsche oil filter, sheet metal air scoops, and a cut-out door over the engine compartment, a beautiful enamel coated flywheel rounded out my additions to it. I still miss it 😭.
I loved watching this Volkswagen restoration. You guys are great!
When I was a 6 year old kid sitting in my mom's car at the market in 1959 I saw three men in a pick up truck steal a Volkswagen engine in under two minutes .
Four bolts hold the entire engine, the rest are just few and small wires that can be cut with small pliers, the engine comes out from the bottom
When I was 18 year old in 1959 I stole an engine from VW beetle..... were you that little kid staring at me? ))))))
12 minutes was my record time.
@@nick_vash were you at the farmerboys market in paramount , CA . You'd have to be 80-90 years old now . So I doubt it was you .
1m 6s is the fastest removal time for a beetle engine.
Sweet! My sister had a VW slapstick she had it painted like Herbie, winter time in Chicago is a beast, Herbie always started and never got stuck like chuck! But that heater was totally useless she always had blankets for all four passengers until it warmed up! Nice rebuild done by professionals!
Hello, I'm from Brazil. I really enjoyed the restoration of this boxer engine. Here in Brazil few people can do this job perfectly just like you.
shut up, who care?? zueraKKK
@@mazzaropimazza6432 depois de alguns anos eu me lembrei disso HAHAHAHAHA
I love watching these rebuilds. Well done
Cute lil boxter engine! ❤❤❤
Supercharge it
No need to over exagerate things. Such a beauty like this should be left intact
Boxer *
Nicolás nah it should be swapped with a *CHEVY LS*
Doc. Volt Boxer not "Boxter" and a classic should be a classic 😉
Actually let the guy do what he wants.If he supercharges then good for him because he got what he wanted.Not saying he is going to do it but hey :)
Absolutely loved video, wish it had been about 25 percent this speed, watching it and knowing how much work was being done it made my balls ache from the tension. After I recover I will watch it again. Absolutely the best of video I have ever seen. Congratulations on the job and the video.
This showed up on my feed ... I'm like, sure, I'll watch it again! Can't press like again, though!
5:37 I literally love how the music just cuts straight to the car's engine up
Lmao pulls it into the garage... realized the engine is in the back.
Einfach nur Geil, es Lebt.
You beat me to it
he really just thought about his whole life after he popped the hood too hehe
It was on purpose its a joke
Ahmedsami1995 ya we all knew that....it was just funny
Although I wanted it very much, I couldn't own a car. If I had an old car, I would definitely have you renew it.❤
That first few seconds 😂 pulling in forward, opening the front *confused look* 💡oh yea!
Pulls out then backs in.
Man...I'd still own a big if I had those skills. That sound is music to my ears.
I love how the camera glides during the timelapse. The camera work is as detailed as the rebuild.
thats what i call a nice rare example of old school gearhead technician.well done.
Bravo 👏 👏 que bonito se escucha!!!!
😍
Mexico 🇲🇽
Cuando todos los del video son ingleses. Oye que onda sentar a tu hijo atras con ese BRUUUUUUM BRUUUUUUM super duro, por que el motor esta atras es decir en el asiento de atras es donde esta la verdadera musica
Interesting stuff. Never knew those motors had case halves, rather than a true block.
I have one in a sand rail dune buggy that I’m rebuilding right now, it’s so cool to see you done the same motor as well! Keep up the AWSOME content.
Uff.. i love that 'clean' engine on that beetle ❤
These videos are the best!
Sabe aquele vídeo que você não consegue parar de assistir... Lindo demais! 😃😊
I love the 1600 flat 4, but the only thing I would have done differently is eliminate the points, and put a Pertronix Ignitor in the dizzy. That turns it into an electronic ignition, and gives a more consistent spark, with better fuel efficiency. Just my humble opinion.
Carbies and Point ignition was the era that not many would miss... welldone...
I absolutely love your timlapse videos.
Parabéns uma pessoa q tem as manhas de fazer um motor tem o meu respeito sempre ....
Love the beginning, lol
Gave me a good laugh too!
Like 'wait, what. There's no engine there. Oh yeah it's a Beetle, I forget it'
lol
Lol me too

I personally rebuild more than 50 type one and type 2&3 also 356 a, b, c models now I am looking backwards 71 years old an have to say I spend money and time I loved every moment of it.
Now stuff is going to be rare and knowledge lost.
I made special tools.
Lin boring my cam and main bearing.
Run Solex eis carburettor, Weber's or zenith.
Gene berg, California had a lot of options.
Orcasa Germany had roller crankshafts..
Good old times.
