What a privilege to see two great videos within the last couple of weeks from Darin and Mustie, on how to bring back to life the old VW engines. Defo the RUclips VW engine dream team.
God how I loved my old beetles back in the day. I threw a rod going over the Grapevine outside LA on New Years Eve, 1969. Managed to nurse it a few more miles to a restaurant parking lot. Tore it down before dawn, hitchhiked into town for parts, then came back and put it back together. Slept like a log that night. Next morning I was back on the road. Life and cars were simpler back then.
I am eagerly going to watch this progress. I'm kind of shocked you mentioned so much was worth salvaging. Every motor I've bought with water/moisture issues, that disassembled far easier than this.ended up having so much of the case at the sump being eaten away that I just disposed of it all.
Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming
I swear this has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouts to the guy pulling engine apart absolute legend #mrdontplay😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of love from England 🏴 🇬🇧
I can always tell an experienced mechanic by condition of his tools and conditions of his forearms they look like mine after forty plus years of turning wrenches, never doubt that he can rebuild this four banger!
I watch multiple VW shop video producers channels. I have to say there are several times I wish I could spend a week working with them learning how to wrench VW's, especially the engines. Being a former aircraft mechanic I figure I could catch on.
Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.
Just rewatching this one Darrin because I have an old one, I will be playing with soon. What ever happened to part 2 of this one or did you ever do one? I looked but didn't see it?
Good day Darrin. Great video. I have a 1600 VW and it’s leaking oil from the pulley and as far as I know they don’t have and gasket. And ideas to help me. And I have an single port, I thing it’s a 1600. Wanted to know if I could change the heads to a dual port. Tks.
That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share
Bonjour de France Une super équipe le mécanicien et son collègue et CT à une prochaine vidéo pour le remontage du moteur (attention pour le nettoyage éviter les solvants )
Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated
I've a dual port type 1 engine that was started once when picked up from shop that did a complete rebuild to it. But now 6years later this engine has been left outside in the car that it was put in after rebuild. I'm putting it in my 67 beetle it won't start, it has a petronics distributor, could this be a problem. So any advice on my situation. Any help should be appreciated. Thank You. Mr. Procrastinate.
this was fun ! can i ask the address of your shop i am in inverness not too far really ,id like me and the wife ride there i d have a few questions . thank you
It's definitely not a 40 Hp, the manifold tells U that. The crank was updated the last rebuild to the "X" drilled crank. Probably an "F" or early "h" case. Most likely a 1600.
I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966
The 1500 was a good engine that ran forever and was very durable. The 1600 dual port engine was the worst engine that Volkswagen ever made, and had reliability issues. The 1600 dual port engine was prone to have valves that would get sucked down I to the crankcase. My mother had both in two VW's. Her 1500 ran for 27 years, and was still going when she sold it. Her 1600 dual port was gone in 10 years, and she had to replace the engine three times.
@@ericknoblauch9195 There was no problem with the dual port 1600 engine itself. The problem was that the EPA called for tighter pollution standards in the years it was in service. The only way VW could meet those specs was to run the engine very lean. Since the oil cooler was more than 1/3 larger than that on the 1500 engine, it added more heat to that cylinder. I can't remember the cylinder number, but it was the drivers side front cylinder. Even the larger cooling fan and larger cooling shroud could not compensate for the increased temperatures from running the engine so lean. I rebuilt air cooled VW engines when I had my garage, and ran them my self on the street and as dune buggies. My favorite engine was the dual port 1600 with a high lift cam and a big bore kit, along with a 2bbl Solex carb. The engine would rev to 6500 rpm with zero problem and never dropped a valve seat because it wasn't run dead lean. The 1600 had a vastly improved oiling system over the 1500 and all smaller CC engines, along with stronger connecting rods, a better oil cooler and a vastly improved crankshaft.

Couldn't agree more!!!
what no mice?
no , just fire ants :)
Only up here in New England ;)
We don’t have mice problems down here ... just little lizards!
Best engine ever. These engines had amazing fuel economy and when modified there were only a few that could beat them.
The 1600 cc engine?

Adventure ! with expert , fun loving tour guides . Free ! all week .
Thank God I worked on these engines in the 60's when there wasn't so much corrosion!!!!
I really enjoy watching videos like this I really want a beetle one day one day .....
I like that flywheel gland nut tool.
The best man who does the job.this man is just a magician with these motors
One of the best real time tear down vids. Looks a lot like all the projects I get myself into. Looking forward to the rebuild!
Love it! Darrin and CT in da house!!
This was an awesome video. Cant wait for part 2!

Loved it! It's like a therapy watching all this...
I appreciate this video.. I just bought a beetle last month and i bought a parts car to start a bigger engine build.. i subbed
just outta the blue dude brings up tearing down the engin and her come Darin having at it, ground action and all
Wow great to see you back in action. I know you will have it running in no time u the Man!!!!
I would love to see a step by step budget rebuild. love your videos!
keep it up, thanks for all the videos
Did my 36 hp in the kitchen 1974. New wife from nice upbringing handled it ok.
Darren...you need to watch Mustie 1s method for removing exhaust nuts!!! LOL you probably know it but works every time. Thanks for the video, keep em coming
Looked good to me was surprised the water didn't eat away at the magnesium around the oil sump

Darrin, you need a small sturdy table for doing things like this. It'll save your back and knees.
ETA: only took 40 minutes
Couldn't live without my torque multipliers. Best tools ever!
Can't wait to see this run a testimate to Darrin and VW engineering ;-) 👊👊👊👊👊 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Liked, subscribed, and leaving comments!
To build a motor from an engine would be a miracle !
Looking forward to seeing this finished and running. My dad has 50+ of these engines, half of which look this bad and we would have never considered putting the time into.
Cool.. good to see you
Just rewatching this one Darrin because I have an old one, I will be playing with soon. What ever happened to part 2 of this one or did you ever do one? I looked but didn't see it?
Looks like a runner to me!

I think I see a new challenge forming : " Worst abandoned Vw Engine on RUclips "
I really need to start filming! I have a couple that would qualify for the challenge
@@muzzcovw7674 Do it 👍
@@5150mxVW I need to come down so we can do a will it run on your '77!
That’s a job I would like to do. Think I would rather have the engine on a bench.
I've brought home old cases like that before and often the bottom is rotted out around the oil sump. Best way to store them is upside down.
That was a dirty a** motor!! I found your channel a month ago and been out of vw scene for 10 or so years but looking for another one, thanks for all the knowledge you share
really entertaining working on extreme rust

At 4:00 what a great tool!!
Can’t wait to see it run.
Great JOB !
Have no fear VW Darrin will make it run!
that cool optimistic attitude.
Great video
Hey good to see you, hope you guys are doing well, 👍😁👍
Doing good next time you’re in this neck of the woods stop by I have hubcaps for you
Where did you get that flywheel tool? That's badass
Hahaha Stop the doubting CT, you're forgetting who you're messing with. Lookin forward to seeing it run in a week Darrin, don't let us down. lol
Automatic sticks have an extra oil pump for the converter.
"I need a hammer" truer words were never sproken lol
The vac port is for brake servo. I’m guessing ‘71 bus. Probably NOT automatic or auto stick.
I was surprised there wasn't more case erosion
I cant wait to see the internals
That's a keeper!!!
Uncle Adolph wouldn’t be proud of this build

What part of Florida you in needing to rebuild one in Orlando here
Really need to put your glasses on !!!
Damn that thing is nasty. Nothing a vat and some other tools won't take of.
Henzi hizo kutega timing
Try using PB blaster it works on rusty seized bolts much better than wd40.
Looking forward to part 2
Eeh my dear friend,we have things we call work benchs.Yu should consider investing in one.
I had a '71 S.P. 1600 in my bug, but it had the later style oil cooler off the back of the blower housing (unlike this one).🤔
is there a part 2? Love it! :)
Put it on stand nd don’t make it look so hrd
Still waiting for the Super 1600 part list would like to start building this engine soon when it start's to warm up any help would be greatly appreciated
It's a single port so it can't be 1600.Check with the letter before the engine number,that will tell you which engine this is.
Darin reminds of the sad clown painting when he has his hat off😅
I want one. Where did you buy that torque multiplier? And how much?
Any reputable VW aftermarket supplier sells it. Torquemeister is one brand.
I've a dual port type 1 engine that was started once when picked up from shop that did a complete rebuild to it. But now 6years later this engine has been left outside in the car that it was put in after rebuild.

Great fun!
This give me hope.
this was fun ! can i ask the address of your shop i am in inverness not too far really ,id like me and the wife ride there i d have a few questions . thank you
ya oughta show that one to Mustie1

What a fun video. Hehe
nice.
THE SWAMP ROACH CHALLENGE!
Accepted.
If it was a automatic how come it has a clutch and pressure plate?
Looks like you’ve done this once or twice before
I found one in a back garden and I asked about price he just gave me it so I'm going to rebuild it 😂 worked out it is a recycled type 1 1200cc from 1966
that head gasket joke got me like wtf is he talking about 😂
Are you in florida Darrin
You keep saying its a 40 horse block. My understanding that's 1200cc, ,made up till 65,no automatics then that I know of. Is it a beefed up 40horse?
where did you get that tool that you pulled the flywheel bolt off?
A&A performance , it is a torque multiplier , it works great to torque to fly wheel to spec
@@vwdarrin Thank you, I've been watching your engine builds, love them. You do a great job! I've learned a lot from you.
Interesting..
Talk about doing it the hard way Christ in no penetrating oil no heat man
Cool AF 👌🏻
Is there a part 2?
Should go again. A bit of heat and lube and those head studs will be out. stop scraping the fins around on the concrete. Poor thing 😂
I put a screw driver through the sump on the last swamp engine I built.
I thought the vacuum was for the brakes.
At best that is a 1500 engine. The 1600 engine had dual port heads and the offset aluminum oil cooler.
The 1500 was a good engine that ran forever and was very durable. The 1600 dual port engine was the worst engine that Volkswagen ever made, and had reliability issues. The 1600 dual port engine was prone to have valves that would get sucked down I to the crankcase. My mother had both in two VW's. Her 1500 ran for 27 years, and was still going when she sold it.

Moving to Ocala. How do I contact you?
Can I drive my ecotec buggy on the street there as I do here in az?
you can text andrea 3862164626... you should be able to as long as its tagged and insured
what is that tool called you use at 3:35?
