Was assembling my engine, and I realized at 16:38 and 19:40, I don’t have those parts. Thank you for posting this video, would have completely missed it.
I thought I was missing two small pieces of tin, and your video confirmed it, THANKS!
I’m glad it helped! It always makes me feel like it’s worth filming, when it helps someone else.
Brilliant video! I couldn’t remember where the front wind deflectors went and this saved my sanity
A Few Tips:
1. The first tin to go on is the one that sits below and behind the Main Pully, and it has to go on BEFORE you install the pully.
2. If you do this process WITHOUT Oil in the case, you can flip the engine upside down to install the lower tins.
3. Depending in the size of the gaskets, it may be necessary or helpful to put the intake manifold gaskets in place before you install the cylinder shrouds.
I don’t need to watch this now, as I’m in the middle of the engine refresh, but I’m so glad you made this, I will definitely be watching this in about a month! Thanks.
Thanks for being here, and I hope the video will be useful to you when the time comes. And also thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks a heap. Good direction for a first timer. 74 years old rookie.
Thanks very much!!
I've been doing some homework on engine tins and this video answered all my questions. I'll definitely be returning for a re-watch when I'm ready to put things together on my motor!
Outstanding!!! Glad it was helpful!
WOW!! Thanks for showing this in-depth presentation of this... A lot of videos just tell you... "Install the tins in the reverse order you took them off." So - not helpful. Thanks again. This was great.
Thank you Jerry, I just try to be in depth, because I see a lot of things left out on videos. And you are right it surely does not help people. You’ve been doing a lot of videos lately, I am truly happy to see that.
Those tins and dog house man oh man 🤤🤤. Upon watching this for a fourth time I realized I didn't leave a comment. My bad. I have to paint my tins but I'm nervous because I dropped a bolt down my intake ports didn't realize it until bad things happened years ago.
Thanks brother, never a rush on commenting we have lives to live. Yeah sometimes I shove rags in the holes of the intake because I’m paranoid about dropping stuff inside. That always ends in a bad result. 🤦🏼♂️
@@SladesVWBeetle Don't forget about the accelerator jet tube that likes to commit suicide and dive down the intake for us all on its own.... Ask me how I know, lol
Thanks for showing this I'm going to be doing this soon.
You’re very welcome. I was more towards learning to film when I did that. I’m actually doing an updated one, in about three or four weeks.
That was v helpful on the thermostat. I haven’t seen any thing on how it works. Your very patient 👍
Thank you very much Kenneth!! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and be here.
I just got a 1970 Montana red bay window deluxe. Been sitting since 91’ I’ve had a lot of 80’s diesel rabbits that I’ve fixed up. But this but is my first air cooled. These videos are helping a lot. Hopefully I can get it up and running soon.
Outstanding!! Congrats!! I love air cooled!! Although I do have a Jetta MK 5 they I toy around in. VWs are awesome!! Thanks for being here!!
Your so stinkin helpful! Thank you. Dad and I have been scratching our heads about the bellows/thermostat and the rod.
Thanks my friend!!!
Best explained video on RUclips I’ve found . Perfect angles too
Thank you very much, I truly appreciate you taking out the time to comment.
Another great video Slades. Learned something new lol I had no idea they were marked to tell you but that is very handy. Keep up the good work friend. Hope to see more videos soon.
Thanks Slade! Another great video to keep my bug on the road
Thanks very much! And thanks so much for being here.
Great video, exactly what I needed. Very well explained.Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you very much Roman, I hope they were very helpful. Thank you for being here.
Very useful video I am just at the state to install my cooling tin, as I am doing a top end rebuild.👍
Great, thanks I needed to see were all the underside tin went. Gloss grey 2 pack on mine. I have a new built 1916cc. Your video will save me some thought.
I’m sorry about the delay Andy, I wasn’t notified of this comment. I am so glad the video is helpful, I bet your engine looks outstanding
Just rebuilding ours and great advise on the tinware, just collect the 2 small front parts that where missing from mine, also foo to see how the heat riser/stove pipe fits
I’m glad it’s helpful, I try to make as many videos as I can to help others. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I made the little left front side one with a paper template and some sheet metal. Make sure you have the doghouse piece off your oil cooler, if it is the late external type. It directs heat down a liittle tin shoot over the gearbox
Well explained and great camera angles. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much John, and thank you for taking the time to comment. I truly enjoy explaining and try to get in detail the best I can.
good job don ! you are a little nerviness, but don't, you are a fine mechanic guy ! sorry for some spelling folds, but i'm from Belgium.
i like what ill sea, gut luck Slades.
Thank you very much my friend and thank you so much for being here. If you noticed my shaking hands, I think that’s what you meant? That is tremors, I have had them since I was a child. I really enjoy doing these videos and always hope it helps someone else. Thanks for taking the time to comment. And thanks for the kind words.
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Fantastic video, even thought it’s basic it’s very well documented 👍👍
Thank you Mike, I tried to take my time and get in depth, I try to keep the films as short as possible.
ahhh an episdose of tin wrestling! lol looks great...I'm a few vides behind, catching up on all now!
Oh yeah, I feel like I’m fighting with tins when I’m working with them. 😁 But I did hear the aftermarket ones can be a little aggravating. I’m glad I have the stock ones still. It’s worth the wait to see yours, I really enjoy your videos.
@@SladesVWBeetle yes OG is always best! I really enjoy the very straight forward methodical approach you always take with things...easy to understand and great explanations
Wow thanks!!! I truly appreciate the comments!! That means a lot! I keep it pretty plain a simple. I’m not a fancy guy 😁
Thanks slade I always look forward to your video’s they are really helpful. Hope you had a great thanksgiving buddy, when you getting a bus
Thank you!! I appreciate that! Thanksgiving was great, and relaxing! No bus yet, gotta do the 68 next 😁
Great video,everytime I see your videos it makes me want to work on my motor.but I’m waiting to see if my sons going to do it with me. I’m definitely going to use your videos as a reference thanks Slade
Thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate that. I’m very excited about every project you do. You put heart and soul into everything you do and so does your wife.
Another great job Slade 👌
Thanks Carl I truly appreciate that!
Looking good...love the color.
Thanks so much.. she’s almost there!!
Thanks a lot. Your video helped me a lot while I was about to do that job.
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment. That’s what this is all about, helping each other. It makes me smile when I see a comment, that somebody utilized a video.
Nice Paint job
Looks like your oil cooler is missing the “Hoover bit” and foam seal over the top… non expert here but just had to add these to my VW due to high oil temps… other tin was missing or poorly fit too… stock factory works and I’m sticking with it!!!
Oddly enough, I had to pull it back apart when I noticed it sitting on my shelf. 🤦🏼♂️
Very details, very helpful...Thanks a lot. BTW, majored in Heat Transfer, I question about painting tins, since it retards the heat transmitting, just my two cents opinion.
Thanks Very much James! And thank you for the comment. Funny you brought that up, I was thinking about that the other day. But I’m not smart enough to it. But my father used to say years ago, he had a funny feeling it wasn’t a good idea.
Actually the paint insulated somewhat, keeping the heat under the car where the fan will push it out. I wouldn’t want the heat transferred into the engine compartment
Great video. Motor is looking good.
Thank you, I appreciate that Eugene. She’s coming along. Just for me to get the next project in, my 68 standard.
That's a great reference for us thanks.
Thanks Paul! And thanks for being here!!
Outstanding instruction
Thank you very much!
nice job.
Excellent video
Thank you!!
The workshop manual method of setting the thermostat: with the thermo on the rod but not bolted to the mounting bracket. Fit the bracket with a slack nut and adjust until the thermo is just touching the top of the bracket then tighten the bracket nut. Now pull the thermo down to the bottom of the bracket (closing the flaps) and secure with the bolt.
wow that's amazing...so much work. you are incredible and i watch you do such do it with the hand shake and it scares me because i get that too sometimes from being in uncomfortable positions. i hope i do this with your help.
Thanks for being here!! I always hope these videos help others!! My hands have shaken since I was young. Bad genetics! It’s called tremors. It’s frustrating!! Thanks for being here!!
Excelent tips.
Thank you Sir!!
I didn’t know there was a preheater pipe! Thanks!
Yes, on some they did have those. Thank you for commenting
Thus is awesome! Thank you! Could you please include links to video 2? Installing pulley and the rest of the tin. Thank you!! Great video
I believe all of the tins were installed on this video. There’s a few videos right after this one, with the alternator installed I don’t believe the pulley was shown.
Great stuff! I’ll be swapping out the chrome that my grandfather installed so this is exactly what I need. Looks like I may also be missing some of the tin underneath the push rod tubes, I’ll have to check. Also does your dog house tin have the Hoover bit?? I’ve heard of this part but not a lot of info on it!
Thank you!! Okay first yes, the Hoover bit on the oil cooler is important! I should have did a video on that. I think I did, I have to look.
Make sure all the tins are there. You can still buy them. Especially the ones that snap into the jugs!
Hello brother how are you? Those tins look nice, and by the way they fit; looks like they are OEM. I had to buy aftermarket ones for my heads and I had to trim them in order for them to fit right. Looking good.
Hey brother, doing great. I hope that you were doing the same? Yeah I have heard that the aftermarket tins, do not fit very nicely. These were all OEM, off of an engine I have.
Man, glad I came across your video. Just bought a new 1776 for my bus, has j-tubes, but no lower engine tin, just the small splitters between cylinders, pushrod tubes are hangin out in the breeze. Temps have been staying less than 230F ...do I need lower tins?, for protection if nothing else?✌
If you’re running J tubes, you definitely will need industrial tins!! Please buy them and put them on, or it’ll run hot!!
Very nice job! My tins fought me a lot more than that. I took forever on that rod. My tins needed trimming around the front exhaust ports. I used my entire four letter vocabulary and had to start repeating myself. Yours went so well. Congrats!
Slate your videos are the most informative I have seen.They are so easy to see and watch. Don't ever stop. You can tell you know what you are doing because you know what we need to see. Thank you so very much. I could get rid of all my other videos. Thanks again.
Thanks very much William, I appreciate that. Were they aftermarket tins? The OEM stuff fits perfect. But I’ve heard some really bad stories about the aftermarket ones. When I was working with them I noticed a big difference.
Thank you much Ron I truly appreciate it. And that is the reason I do these videos, when I see comments like this. It gives me incentive to help people. I surely don’t know everything, but I’ve been messing around with these cars for 40 years. Thanks for being here and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Is it possible to remove and install the tins and dog house with the engine in the car ? I know I'll have to remove front pully be a good time to put new seal there while doing it.
Honestly Jessica I would not even try that. I was able to remove a doghouse once while the engine was in the car, and I was saying very bad things lol And to try and remove the tins would be horrible.
Truthfully you’re better off pulling the engine out, it’s very simple, and I did a video on it. You could probably have it out in under an hour my friend.
That guy's trembeling...
Tremor Disorder. Thanks for watching
Thnx for this vid, it helped, but I have a couple questions you showed a bolt going through the back of the fan housing into the oil cooler?? Mine has nothing there, am I missing something? Also should there be a cover around the bottom of the cooler? mine is all open
Great explanation on the cooling process. Do you think I need the bottom tins if it's in a fiberglass buggy?
Firewall before the doghouse exhaust tube.
Great video. Only thing: are you missing your front engine Tin (the one between doghouse and firewall?) only asking bc i watched this video to see what it looked like and it’s the one tin you don’t seem to have.
I still had to paint that tin, it did get put on before the engine went in.
awesome , very helpful. love it. maybe a little louder on the vocals.
That was the older camera then! Thanks for being here.
Can you take the fan shroud and upper tins off without taking the lower tins off? Thanks for the video!
Need to find the missing linkage from the flaps down to the thermostat as well the adjustable mount. I believe my 73 uses the offset bar. Are there're any sources that may have these pieces ??
Great Video thanks where are you located?
Hey Slades,
Quick question for you, I recently picked up a 71 bus that came with a 1200cc single port which had been modified to a 1600cc. I don't know the backstory behind the engine. Anyway, I noticed that your fan shroud had a large lever and air flaps along the bottom of it as well as the thermostat. My fan shroud does not have these pieces. Is that a major problem? If it's necessary, do you know if I can buy the mechanism or am I looking at a whole new shroud? Thanks for any help! This is my first engine rebuild so I'm still learning as I go, but your videos are really helping me!
Great Stuff and thanks. You are so authentic and love watching your vids. I have recently bought a 74 bug and does not have the oil cooler pair of tins. Do I need to drop the engine to get those installed?
It’s definitely much easier to drop the engine on these cars when doing things like that. Thankfully they come out very quickly. Thank you for being here.
Thanks for the reply Slade. I ended up dropping it yesterday and the fun just begun!
You’re very welcome my friend. They are very quite simple to work on. I have a lot of engine videos up, and of course the installation of cooling tins. A complete video.
these Cylinder Heat Deflector Tins, are they used on a 1200cc engine also, i hear its for 1300cc onwards?
I never had a 1200, but I thought they were for 13--1600cc
Correct me if I’m wrong but, did you forget the front bell housing tin? I think that goes on before the dog house tins as the bottom one passes through it
Another question.....at 15:10, you have that two piece tin that makes up the sled. On my 68, I have two sleds (left and right) that are full pieces. I don;t have that little section that covers the thermostat. Know anything about that? Why would I have a full tin, compared to the two piece set?
Hey slade, i was wondering if running the thermostat is something that is really important or could be left out if you dont have it
Hi Slade, That motor is sure cool with that paint. What color is that exactly. I'm going to be painting my old outboard motor hood cover which is called sunset orange. The lower will be mercury white but have to look up the original name for it. I'm getting really close on the restoration to start sanding. Pretty excited
Thank you Tim I really appreciate that. It is called sunrise red, although I thought it would look a little bit different. But I’m pleased with the outcome. I have to hop over to your channel and catch up on some videos.
Thanks Slade, The latest one was fun and put a couple of new things in
Hey Slade, what are all five of those tins underneath the heads and at the front of the heads called? I have to buy these because my set didn’t come with them.
Send me an email…subject…Tins! And I’ll help ya out!
sladesbeetle@yahoo.com
Don’t you need to put the gen, fan assy on the doghouse before you install it? Your other video shows you putting on the intake without the doghouse. I know when pulling the engine apart, it was a pain. The gen got in the way.
In this video what I was trying to do, is show all the cooling tins and where they go. Just like when I did a valve adjustment. I did it first on the engine stand so everybody could see it easily. I hope that made sense Michael.
14:03 I just started putting my engine back together and I lost the thermostat rod that is connected to the fan shroud.that operates the air cooling flaps Do you know where I can find one. Is thre away to contact you to help me with my engine😊
Hey Slade... We love your videos and they're very helpful and informative.. Can I make a small suggetion? Just some helpful advice. When you don't have your camera on a stand and you want to show something up close.. maybe invest in a Go Pro or something you can mount on your head or chest... I have noticed shaking (not in your control I'm sure) and I believe it's due to Parkinson's? Again we love ur videos and keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for watching the videos I truly appreciate it. Believe it or not, I just got a GoPro a few weeks ago, so I need to purchase an accessory kit. It seems to work very well. Actually the shaking, I have had since a child unfortunately. It’s some type of tremor disorder. It’s quite annoying. Thank you for being here, and thank you for the wonderful comments also!
@@SladesVWBeetle AWWW... Okie dokie kewl deal.. I have a 68 VW bug (clutch pressure plate and the throw out bearing are shot) so I can't drive mine😭 and my hubby has a 60 that needs a total overhaul so hopefully he can get mine running again soon🙏
I did a clutch and pressure plate and release bearing installation video. It’s really not too bad to be quite honest with you. Try to get something on the road so you can enjoy your summer. And most of all thanks for commenting and being part of the community here.
@@SladesVWBeetle thank you.. I'll look it up for him... He said it's my fault LOL bc I have a lead foot... I really don't... I have only had 2 speeding tickets in my life and the last one was 14 years ago. I think it's just the life of a VW owner.
😂😂😂We all get silly behind the wheel sometimes. For about a 100 dollars you get a complete set up and a few hours of work. I have a good index here of all DIY stuff. I keep my Facebook updated with upcoming stuff. Not sure if your on there.
Nice work.. Very informative. The only issue I think I have with my tin is that the rear or front tin.. Depending on your point of view... The one that sits up against the apron and under the pulley that has the air hose holes is leaves a big gap on mine.. Not sure if its the wrong year or mismatched. Something I'll have to look at.
Thank you very much I truly appreciate the kind words. When you say a gap, is the seal missing between apron and the tin?
@@SladesVWBeetle it's where the tins meet.. Not the seal side. Hard to explain lol. The tin that sits under the pulley, the point at which it curves around and up to the left side and meets the rear tin... Or front tin.
That’s very odd, I’ve never run into that. If there are some aftermarket tins on it, they don’t fit very well. I’m just guessing of course without seeing.
@@SladesVWBeetle I'm aware of at least three different front tins that where made and are available aftermarket. I'm guessing I just have none matching tin. It's be great to have all original stock tin but it's not the case, sadly.
I have a dog house cooler as well. I see that your oil cooler looks like mine. If I am not mistaken, arnt you missing a piece of tin that encloses the oil cooler? Like I said, mine looks the same, but I believe we should have a tin to the right of it. seems like there are screw holes there in the shroud for it. am i incorrect?
Hi Shawn!! Everything is there. I skipped ahead to 26:00 to double check. The oil cooled is enclosed. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean my friend.
@@SladesVWBeetle - ahhh, there it is. I overlooked that. I didn't recall seeing that when you were assembling. That's definitely what I'm missing on my motor.
24:40 - that oil cooler tin that you have in your hand......your right hand is touching a black seal / gasket. can you tell me where to find that? i need that seal for my engine.
I found some online but they were mostly overseas. I see someone on eBay gas them

@@SladesVWBeetle thank you
i am revisiting this video since I have been wanting to install the lower tins on my motor since first purchasing this 73 beetle sedan. I wanted to ask where I could get replacement clips for the doghouse fan/flap linkage? Also need to replace the thermostat (old one is shot) plus the rod that connects to it. The rod is missing.....discovered when I pulled the motor (first time ever). I am hoping my heater boxes will mount correctly with the tins (plus the studs are in bad shape). I plan to visit a local VW shop and/or contact Awesome Powdercoat to see if they have the parts I need. Thanks for the sticker that just arrived too! My shirt should be arriving soon!
i'm sorry steve I'm fonally catching up on comments. Thanks for your support I truly appreciate it! I would check wolfsburg west first!
@@SladesVWBeetle No worries! Update: Got the tins installed. Found a VW shop in New Cumberland Pa that had a thermostat and rod. New studs for the heater boxes installed and everything back in the bug and running great! Most of my work is inspired by your videos.....Thank you! PS....got my shirt too!
That’s great news Steve!! I hope you’re enjoying the drive time on it! And thank you for the support!
I've eliminated my heaterboxes, no need in south Texas. Do they make tins for J-tubs. I've seen where people have fabricated their own, but my skill set does not go that far. thanks -steve
Hi Steve, they absolutely do make them!!
I won’t be running heater boxes on mine there’s no need for it. I won’t be using mine in the winter.
Here goes the link for you my friend. Thanks for being here

@@steveyoung8077 You’re very welcome
slot head screws, no way...threw them in the trash, used hex head instead.
Absolutely, I agree they’re much better. However I didn’t order them in time. Thank you for commenting.
Holy over torque Batman....
I can’t find your page on Facebook I was talking to your messenger some reason it just vanished don’t know if what happened
I actually deactivated my Facebook temporarily.
i just noticed that you have a grill-less front apron. you might want to check that cool tin photo. i think the tins that you were installing when you flashed the pic aren't in the photo.
Yes I decided to cover over the vents on the apron. Just something different of course.
All of the tins I used, came off of the original engine out of the parts car.
'
im sry : LOOKS like bad design ! All the fins are covered ! motorcycles all exposed and full air force hits them! even a duel electric fan + direct holes guided to motor be better! ? Luv these engines.. but they get hot +catch fire alot!!!!!!!!! needs rethink this!
They catch fire because a lot of people use a plastic fuel filter in the engine bay, the plastic cracks and spills fuel everywhere.
Mr. Slade: I almost get seasick when you hold the camera. I notice you shake alot. Please get a camera man or see a doctor. Shaking like that can be a medical condition.
You are doing a good service, but I cannot subscribe as the shaking is too much for me.
Wish you well
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. That has been happening since I was a small child, it’s a tremor disorder. And yes it can be very frustrating. I wish you luck in all you do!
