Love to watch your tips,your voice is quite relaxing, reminds me of watching bob ross
Please Please do not stop the your hints and tip and words of wisdom because I learn so much more there and remember more things when I watch these videos because I am about to build 2 VW @ the same time ( 1 is a 74 SB / Baja looking -auto cross bug and a 71 Kit car /53 MGTD-Ply Prowler ) bodys & motors and etc I know your head hurts now so I need all VW community on you tube for help and knowledge and your what I think your of the best so don.t stop
Thank you Rich, I just tried very hard not to overdo it, but Feel the need to give a little tips and tricks along the way. Thank you so much for being part of the community here.
I want to thank you again for your great video! Got the seams and NO MORE LEAK! My '73 is running great again.
That’s awesome!!! That makes it worth doing these videos!! Happy holidays!
Awesome vid Slade. Thanks!
I love your tips. I don’t think your information on what to do ever goes to far. I learn so much from these videos. And I’ve been into VW,s since the 70s. Keep them coming and don’t ever think you’re going into it to much. Thank you.
Thank you George, I appreciate the kind comments very much, and thank you so much for being here!
Unloading the torque wrenches is the best tip ever.
Thank you, I try to give as many tips as I possibly can without boring everyone lol
Not boring, love the tips!
Boy, you need a parts washer my friend. I never put anything on the seals and have never had a problem, but I like the idea. Thanks for another great video!
That is actually on my hit list, is a parts washer. I have wanted one for quite some time.
Thanks Slade for another good video ---- As for the TIPS and TRICKS --- just keep giving them as you are. Some we may have forgotten and others will broaden our knowledge so we can do better. ---- A thought here --- your smaller sonic cleaner could be kept in the bathroom where one can soak their feet and get rid of that Toenail Fungus. ---- Ya, I know it's not a good idea but --- it's just a thought ! ------------- Thanks Again --- Have a Good Day!
Thanks so much my friend! I really enjoy making these videos. Yeah, don’t ever stick body parts in there while it’s running lol
I’m excited about trying this larger ultrasonic cleaner. I’ll put those videos up on a separate day than the VW ones…
Nice video. Good information is never to much.
This was helpful, thanks boss.
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you!
Great tips, I like the dielectric grease tip the best 👍👍
Thank you Mike, I hope the new year is starting out wonderful for you.
You help me a lot with your videos. Thank you so much
Thank you Martin, for being part of this communities channel. I appreciate you being here.
@@SladesVWBeetle follow this weekly while restoration bij Mex. Greetings from the Netherlands
again a great video my friend. i usually don't use those type off seals, only the black once. but the products can evolve by the years.
great tip for doing this before mounting the cilinders.
Thanks for the video Slade see ya on the next one.
Thank you my friend, and thanks for always watching the videos I do appreciate it.
Nice information, about using the torque wrench. Keep it coming. The new big ultra sonic cleaner is going to be a big help cleaning parts.
Thank you so much for always being here my friend. I’m very excited about the 30 Liter, I should be able to fit a lot of stuff in there. Get ready to be bored lol
Yes they do have two washers, a wavy and a normal washer. I don’t like those pail orange seals, as you said they are hard and they split quickly. Enjoying your videos!
Exactly, they felt a little hard to me. That always throws a red flag. I was aware of the two washers, but the one have three washers on it which was kind of strange
Bigger the Ultrasonic cleaner the more solutions you need. I have seen some use a jar with solvents/solutions in it and then place the jar in water for cleaning smaller projects.
I also noticed that Harbor Freight has a new one now. More like the style you just received.
I didn’t notice them having a larger one now. Of course this one was free so that was really convenient, and it is a pretty good brand.
That’s a really good idea, is putting a smaller jar inside. I’ll be doing ultrasonic videos separate from the weekly VW videos though.
Thanks!
Thank you very much Jane, these donations truly help out so much. God bless.
Great vid.
Thank you.
Just like to mention that you need to put the foam seal back onto the oil cooler, before you install the shroud, as it helps the air flow dramatically.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Thank you I appreciate that, and thank you for adding to the process. I appreciate that a lot.
@@SladesVWBeetle No worries.
I have just come in from my garage, after rebuilding the top ends of my 1600.
It’s hammering down here in the Uk, (raining heavily), so a good time for me to do it.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
nice job.
Thank you Jim I hope your weekend is going well
Thanks for posting this and for sharing your knowledge. Have you ever changed the oil cooler seals with the engine still in the vehicle, fan shroud off etc?
Thanks Slade! Another useful video. Just to clarify a point on using extensions on torque wrenches, my understanding is as long as you are using a regular straight extension is doesn't affect the the reading. It's when you get into using a flex head or crows foot that it's an issue. It's that distance to the handle that matters. Holding the wrench on the proper spot on the handle is always important. (Don't choke up!)
Thank you for chiming in and I truly appreciate the advice! And thank you for being here!
❤😊
Love the content and details you provide. The only thing missing might be pressure testing the cooler. Subbed!
Thank you, and thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for another informative video Tony. Phew, I got it right. BTW, here's an idea for your engine stand. Hard steel angle and a couple of casters. Remove the front caster and bolt on. Will post a pic on the FB.
Interested in the ultrasonic cleaner. Been wanting to buy one. Get that vid up so I can figure out what to buy! And the promo code!
Good morning Robert! Heather and I are going to film the ultrasonic cleaner today.
I asked her to step in and help me. It will be up next Monday or Tuesday. They just mailed me the promo code, they have all sizes available. I hope to have a good report when filming lol
@@SladesVWBeetle thanks Tony, ready for it!
Very helpful video, i'm about to clean an oil cooler for a doghouse conversion on my bug
Where is the quarter in torque wrench from?
Secondly all tips are good. So keep'm coming👍🇩🇪
Waiting for that promo think I’m ready for an ultrasonic cleaner and I got two solex I’m rebuilding. Great video
Hi Dan! They should be sending me the promo code this week. The video will be up the following Monday. For the ultrasonic cleaner. I hope you’re having a great day.
I will have a full manuel on my engine rebuild project.
Sir Slade, thank you again for a great How-To video. My old '69 single port 1600 engine had the old tube type seals which you set aside when you first opened the seal package. I could never get those to fully seal up, even with goop around them (yes I know .... bad puppy!), but the newer seals which you installed make a lot more sense engineering wise for sealing the oil cooler to the housing, and the housing to the engine case (almost said block, I caught myself). Enjoyed the bloopers and the added photos of humor in your videos. Keep up the great work. BTW, some people call you Tony. Is that your first name, or just an acquired nickname? All the best from Surprise AZ!
they never gave me the housing seals had to put it back together to move it,now I will have to do it again.
The thick ones are for 8mm TYPE 3 ONLY. Just did one and there are spacers to also just an FYI
Thank you for chiming in JC! I appreciate that.
👍
I believe that other oil cooler seal, the fatter one with the smaller oil passage hole, is a T3 not T4. T4 should use the same seal as the late T1 seal you used in this install.
I honestly couldn’t remember I’m glad you chimed in.
I knew it was for a three or four, and some reason my old brain went to type4 lol
Great video Mr Slade. Good tips. I thought you were going to put the oil cooler in the ultrasonic bath ?
I just watched your video about oil cooler seals I have a crazy question at 21:25 of that video just after you show Newman from Seinfeld at about 1 o’clock maybe 1:30 on the back of the engine there is a sensor just below your engine stand mounting bolt what on earth is that sensor for I have the same one but no wires coming out of it thank you Sir It appears to be a hall effect sensor. TACH?????
Hi Steve, not a crazy question at all. If you mean the black sensor, right below, where the engine holding bolt is. That was an old sensor they used at the dealerships many years ago for diagnostics. You don’t need that. I just leave the sensor there and snip the wire off so no dirt gets inside. I think we’re on the same page.
Hello.. I look at your videos much as I can, Gave my 74 Vw beetle an oil change, now it’s smoking🤦🏽♂️Any suggestions?
It sounds like you have an oil leak that is dripping on the exhaust system possibly
So in stock configuration, there is NO washer between the Hoover Bracket and the body of the oil cooler?
So, does Heather get the Gia ? Been left hangin on that situation. Between the two cars , should be a good resto for her.
Hey Slade good stuff, what engine type is that oil cooler? I've heard bus type coolers which have more cooling rows can be used on type 1 but the shroud has to be massaged. Thoughts??? Thanks
looking forward to VW Beetle Engine Rebuild Part #3
I am doing the same build right now. My top end kit arrives today. Im hoping you go over honing cylinders and prepping heads.
Thanks Steve! And thanks for being part of the community here. I’ll be clocking the pistons and installing them into the jugs this coming week. And next week of course putting the long block together.
Hi Slade, I have a 1300cc so my oil cooler looks a bit different, but those two holes in the case with the grommets the oil cooler fits on, I can blow air through one of the holes on the left towards the flywheel, but cannot on the hole to the right. Is that normal? Thanks and love your videos
Is it lossible to torque them with juggs installed?
You would have to use a wrench, I don’t believe you’ll get a torque wrench in there but you can try. Just don’t go crazy and over tighten.
Hey buddy quick question I bought a 74 Volkswagen super beetle the guy put a external oil cooler and filter on it is there a way I can bypass the old cooler or Is it better to just use the OEM oil cooler as additional cooling.? I’m not sure I see a way that I cannot use that cooler just wondering.
Just wondering if there were any thoughts
Only the VW and some high perfomance cars have an oil cooler
20:39 do you know the size(thread)of those 2 bolts M20 ?
I believe the ones you’re referring to are the 2….13 mm nuts that I was threading on? To hold the cooler down? The studs coming off of the oil cooler adapter?
Those would be an M8.
Thanks... Yes the two that are holding down the cooler...I need to buy the nuts for them
@@MOE13576 I believe those are M 8 x 1.25, but wait… and I’ll give you an exact answer tomorrow I’ll run up my garage and check.
@@SladesVWBeetle ok, thank you
@@MOE13576 you’re very welcome! I just went into the garage and checked for you. The nut will be a M8x1.25
I hope that was helpful and I hope you’re having a great day.
FYI: Okay count = 45.
Who torques spark plugs , antiseize all plugs cheaper than pulling threads
I’ve used anti-seize on plugs, with engines that have aluminum heads. Although they say the newer plugs have a coating that won’t allow they to become frozen into the head. Sometimes I still do it. Anti-Seize does change the torque value, but I usually do them be feel.
Using a dirty oil cooler is a great way to trash an engine.
I mean one from a failed engine, If there is glitter in the oil there is glitter in the cooler!
I doubt you can clean a cooler properly if it has glitter in it, I know people that have ruined new engines by reusing an oil cooler
