FANTASTIC WORK, you guys! Exceptional!!
Cheers from the CB Performance crew!
Thanks for taking the time to show us how you put our engine together. It was fascinating!
Listen to the song TRAAG the white Nike cap girl is kinda Hot and Cute at the same time
HI CBPerformance - Question - I want to build a similar engine - top concern being reliability and cooling. However different in that it will be run at 3100 rpm max - and spend 80% of its life at 3000 rpm. Are your Panchito or 44 heads better suited? Cheers Owen
@@eonbio "If you want the best cooling and performance, use our Panchito 044 head. It makes power like a large port head, has port velocity to run well at low rpm and cools like a stock OEM head casting" - Pat Downs
CBperformance is amazing! 👍👍👍
People forget that when these rigs were new folks drove them across Africa and South America, around the world. They're very capable, just need to be returned to new or better condition to do it, not hobbling along on worn out parts. I"m sitting in my '82 on a beach in remote Mexico, doing fine, just needs plenty of preventative maintenance.
Glad to hear you are out there living the dream Don, thanks for using some of your internet connection to tune in to Kombi Life :) happy travel mate!
LOVE to see the technical detail, I really respect how hands on you guys get with the dirt of volkswagen ownership, it makes the shinier, more glamorous side of it seem that much more earned. Good stuff.
this is exactly the kind of stuff we love! CB Performance builds the best aircooled motors. Kombi Life is going to be driving miles and miles, relatively worry free. 96 horsepower is really nice for a VW Bus. Many VW Buses have less than half of that. Thanks for showing us such detail, many of us are genuinely interested in it.
Glad you are stoked on this geeky stuff too :D
@@KombiLife the more details the better! the attention to details is unreal! great episode :D
I have been working on the VWs since 1962 and I will have to say that you couldn't have made a better choice for an engine builder than Pat Downs. Him and his crew are the best! Excellent choice on the engine size.
As a gearhead and a machinist I really enjoyed watching the details that they put in their work. Those are the people that make things the best they can. Quality over quantity!! Such a rare thing!!
I've been dealing with CB performance since the early 80s and working with Pat is awesome and his crew will answer your questions to the best of their ability which is very high so it's always great see them in videos and other people videoing them
I am totally impressed!!!!..........I spent ten years totally addicted to VW air cooled vehicles! I drove a '74 bus from Holyoke mass to New Orleans on a brand new rebuilt engine that blew a hole in the cylinder head all because I didn't do a break-in valve adjustment, that was almost 30 years ago! What I'm surprised is that they didn't put hydraulic lifters in this incredible build!!!!!!...........
watching this reminds me of the constant work I spent and the six or so engines that I broke in the quest to be a do it yourself-er! At one point in my folie I had 2 buses, a bug and a never finished 914! Since then, I realize that I became committed to trying to fix everything in my life myself!👊🏾😎👍🏾 hey, I just thought about something, it's quite possible the engine that I ORDERED FROM CALIFORNIA which was shipped to Massachusettes back in '89 could have come from CB!!!!!
Welcome back guys :) We have 3 things to say this week...
1) If you haven't seen the main episode where we build our round the world expedition engine, then definitely watch that first! ruclips.net/video/onkxegc7Yk4/видео.html
2) How much did this cost? What are the specs? Why we had so many engine failures previously -> www.cbperformance.com/Articles.asp?ID=340
3) You'll either love this video, or you'll find it "too techy". Don't worry, next Thursday we start putting some miles on the Kombi and begin the 'Overland Transformation' - we can't wait to share our progress.
Support the channel and give this vid a THUMBS UP! Thanks for watching as always and see you next Thursday!

Question. With that custom engine, are you sure your finished car is road legal in all the European countries you're about to go though?
@@sillybean32 yes
Bingo! That's what I wanted to see. What's inside! CB Performance! Total Respect to all that make such great VW engines. Love how it truly shows that CB cares about every single component that goes into the classic VW engines!
Engineering is art!
This is awesome good job CB Performance and Pat! You just earned my business! Quality
Wow! Love that engine! You guys scored on that one! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, yes, we are very blessed to be rolling with a CB Performance engine, it's literally a dream come true
Really like the vid, I’m happy with anything that you guys post 👍😁
after so many traumas and arrangements of the old car .. to see you in that paradise of the engines is a privilege ..
You guys hit the jackpot getting a motor built by CB performance,wow pretty impressive company..
After all you've been through with your old bus, you so deserve this build, it's beautiful, and will make your new adventure so much more relaxed!
First these are my Guy's at CB PERFORMANCE!!!
I'm building a 1800 vw bug engine and those Panchito's where my first choice and this video is now my favorite video.
It explains just about everything I wasn't sure about, much success and blessing
Cb is THE BEST!! Very much enjoying this series of stories, and would love one day to be able to go to CB and have them build me a custom engine!! I am building their 2276 cc now, and I'd just like to say that it's a great experience. This has gone together flawlessly, and I'm confident that it's going to be a great powerplant once installed!! Hats off to all of them, and to their great customer service.
Bob, Sherman Ct.
Fabulous video. Thanks to you both and CB for explaining and showing how it all works.
Glad you enjoyed it
From Kenya🇰🇪 with love.
Followed Hasta Alaska. Following Hasta Australia and loving it.
Kweli
That is a great company hats of to them
This is a gear heads delight! Extremely detailed.
I love that all these (local to me) VW shops stepped up to sponsor you on your journey with their expert/experienced advice, help, labor, and parts. Kudos to all the the suppliers of this very cool trek. Be safe!!
In 1966 i was 16 when i rebuilt the engine in my first car....a 1960 VW Karmann Ghia convertible. The technology and sophistication in Boomerang's new engine is light-years ahead of what i experienced. It was very interesting and informative to follow the development of your Ultimate Aircooled Engine. Thank you!...and safe travels!
CB Performance is an amazing Company/Organization! I am glad they are helping you with your journey.
so are we, we're very blessed!
Starting with the right engine is so important . Yours looks amazing !
I love the 1776 engine because of decent power plus reliability. Awesome video, thank you.👍
Thanks for watching!
I need to get one of these haha. So excited for you guys! Super happy to be apart of this community🙏🏼
Very glad to see you will have a strong and reliable engine. CB Performance really has an impressive operation and I will turn to them when and if the time comes for my own. Thanks! Safe travels!
This is going to be an epic adventure.
Ur channel is perfect i didnt find what u do in another channel like urs u explain for us details about mechanics and share with us the best and the bad moments so we can learn and to have experience ... i hope u will continue ur journey ✌
Good to see how top notch VW engine builders work. You will have a high quality, precision engine powering your camper.
Man that young man is so lucky to work for this outfit CB PERFORMANCE
I am so happy to have found your channel! You have done amazing things, and struggled through things that would have made many a lesser man or woman give up.
Good work! Don't lose hope, Keep an eye in the sky and a hand on your heart, be thankful for every day and Cherish every moment good and bad. May you be blessed and protected on your trip. We are all pulling for you!
This was a a fantastic video! Thank you so much for showing all the various steps involved in building this engine. Great to see some of the various technical aspects that go into each part of the process as well! Happy travels!
I love watching this series, I always watch the newest episode as soon as it is out.
Man you Guys are good all that knowledge and Machinery makes CB the place to go to for VW Aircooled motors and Advice
You literally could not ask for anything more....this engine is the bomb hands down....make sure no one steals it out of boom-a-rang...:)
These guys know what they're doing as you can see. I'd love to visit that shop someday!
I have Panchito heads on my 1776 for my bay. I’m real happy to hear of others who think like me. I also have a rear engine hanger, modified tin, and remote oil filter and cooler. I decided to do non full flow ser up, however. There are pro and con on that, and the pro is that if any leaks develop outside in the external loop, it can be just capped off. With full flow you cannot isolate the leak. You must repair it.
Thanks for sharing that Tom.
very cool motor head information, thanks CB for sharing your skills and a little knowledge with us all ! You're going to have such a fun trip !
Im a tech and these guys seems legit, good quality parts and a lot of prep work, not just slapped on off the shelf part.
CB Performance has been and always will the king of aircooled performance, hands down.
I love the documentation of this build. Awesome to see. So excited to see how it performs as you explore the world.
Wonderfully complex and efficient.
So fun to have watched this channel over all the years. Throughout this episode I was picturing you during the 6mos in the mechanic's shop in Mexico (and the crazy other rebuilds before that). It's like you've been reborn in VW heaven, Ben - amazing. Thanks for another great episode!
This is brilliant, I envy how amazing your engine is, let's hope you won't have to take this one out anytime soon.
If my old Westie had an engine like that, I would probably have it still. Love your work and wish you all the success. Can't wait for your new journey to start. Hard work, road blocks, more planning, more road blocks, then the unexpected stuff. All will be so cool to have done tho', you can look back on all this and have no regrets.
As a tech with an adventurous mind(no coincidence there) I very much love seeing this stuff. Gives me ideas to build my XT motorcycle engine for the same goal. Thanks for all the great content you guys put out. A very fitting promo in hommage to CB in this case.
Wow attention to detail this guys have pride on what they build, not many do anymore
Finally got a chance to sit down and catch up with the series. Fantastic guys, keep up the amazing work!
Bravo!
Having professionals build an engine for you is always the way to go.
Best of luck on your journey.
Its a good thing that you guys are making the production quality better every video but its beginning to look more like a promo video for companies instead of a travel vlog. No hate, just feedback
Don't worry lots of raw adventure coming Dion. We just wanna give some love to CB Performance as we wouldn't be able to drive around the world with out them, thanks for your feedback though Dion.
I mean, it's a promo after all. They probably got a HUGE discount for doing this exposure.
On the other hand, without these donations they probably couldn't afford to build the van at all = nothing for you to watch.
@@KombiLife awesome, can't wait!
But its interesting too. Building a new home is an adventure in it self and they can show us the amazing pepole who made it. Also listen what was said in the begginig of the video. :)
Its only fair they introdce CBperformances genius team
Being a through and through petrol head who builds his own engines, tunes preps and races, I thoroughly enjoyed this and the last one on the engine for your bus. Cant wait to see you on the road as I followed your last adventure from start to finish and will follow your next adventure that should be less stressful with a better prepared bus from front to rear, and of course your own knowledge learnt by trial and error and by fire. God speed.
...literally fire ;)
Cheers Nick
Thanks for this video, that engine is insane!
I really love this channel and how you guys show your steps to bud the bus and then start running
I really enjoyed this video. Can never have too many technical VW vids!
I'm really impressed with CB Performance!
Amazing to see the precision and care taken with this engine!! Great vid as always!
l had the pleasure of driving a bug with one of there big engines the other day it iwas very impressive to say the least,
I was hoping that you'd see this video. Thanks for watching.
@@KombiLife great build, here is our test ride with a cb performance engine, she moves this along very nice, ruclips.net/video/dm5b6Ts9orw/видео.html
@@mustie1 150 bhp is my guess on the wheels? Should be plenty for those buggies. :)
Very good episode,it's very in-depth..ty again Ben and Leah.
You're welcome Alex, thanks for your support mate
I don't understand much about engines but this was still pretty interesting. What I'm really looking forward to though is the interior conversion. You guys are living the dream. Good on you! 👍🏼😉
I hope you guys have a great time when you get on the road
Can't wait to actually see you guys drive the thing and start your adventure!!
To Ben and Leah (and Alaska)Wishing you the best brilliant video as I worked as an Aerospace Tech I understood a lot of this. Can't wait to see more including the interior.
REally excited about this engine. Can't wait to see how it goes. Looking forward to how you customize the inside of the bus.
I went 8 times around Australia in my kombi "MOO", touring as a folksinger. Took 10 years! what a trip.
Cool vid! Cant wait to hear more about the motor later on.
That 96 hp will push you along well and hopefully without problems.
The exhaust looks similiar to the CSP Python I am using.I did my motor on the same thinking of longevity,the last thing I need is engine problems far from home,as they said ”clean oil and valve adjustments are the key”.
I have the same bus sitting in the backyard and that's pretty much all it's doing LOL I'm working on the 71 transporter Grew up traveling in a 71 camper bus all that said I can't wait to see this thing run and watch YouTwo on your new adventure!!
Awesome post!!!! Giving yourself the best chance to make it without major engine issues.
This is amazing! It's exactly what I was looking for.
adjust the valves with every oil change is great advice, my VW guru taught me that in the 70s it really does extend the life of the engine !
P.S. always do it completely cold
Sounds like a lot of fun to do on the road.
@@DailyRealness .... The type of adjusters used in Ben's engine are much more reliable than stock. They don't pound out the valve ends like stock ones do, so the result is that the lash doesn't change as much. Ben will find out after a while, he isn't adjusting anything when he checks the lash.
E-Curb Sounds like a lot of fun to do when in the desert, or blizzard in the Wakhan corridor.
@@DailyRealness ... When Ben learns how reliable the valvetrain will be, he doesn't have to check it right on the prescribed mileage mark. He can let it wait until he's in a comfortable location.
I speak from experience. I drove my aircooled VW throughout Central America just after Ben was there. I have exactly the same valve adjusters Ben's new engine has, so I know how reliable they are. A valve lash check can be done in less than 10min.
He's not going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere spending hours under his bus like you are imagining.
E-Curb What a headache. I hope he at LEAST has the sense to sell it for a killing and then go to Europe and find a real 4x4 van that will suit his needs instead of this silly hippy van. The only reason Capito got him around was because it was built in the 90s. This thing is even older. What a disaster. He sure is gullible when it comes to Yanks. They'll tell you anything to get money off you.
Thank you for this awesome video!! Love watching mechanical vids
WOW VERY INTERESTING! GREAT VIDEO! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FOR VANLIFE AND MAKING SIMILAR VIDEOS!
Soooo looking forward to seeing you guys on the road!
We get back on the road in the next Episode :)
Kombi Life I’m sure you’re already past Texas, but my offer stands if you need it!!!
@@magamaga2403 Thank you so much
old Kombi life= adventures, no sponsors, vw breaking down often
new Kombi life= sponsors, advertisements, commercials for products, sparing no expense
That was a great video. Great work from top professionals in the craft. Happy travels & good luck.
Am so ready for this tripp! The hype!
you and us both!
Amazing work giving new life VW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% l very happy to 👁
Always a best idea to go with what they specialize in.
Excited to see how this engine performs on your adventure!! 😎👍👍
so are we, can't wait to start crossing countries.
What a great market for VW air cooled engines to justify these experts designing and proving these state of the art motors! Pat and the other engineers should join you in one of the legs of your journey! They have earned it!
Pat's a legend, but I know for a fact he'd rather be spending time with his family and building engines than bouncing down a bumpy track in the back of our Bus :)
Cheers! Then put Pat a the helm of your caravel!
I admire what you two are doing too WOW
Great detail. Wish I never sold my 1960 bug, back in 1981. Wish you all the best in your travels !
i love so much all yours videos!😍
thank you so much,
All that precision engineering and then we see a wobbly pulley. Only kidding, I'm sure it's fine. Great job.
Interesting video guys, this was quality documentary filming.
What would be your top tip for planning a long term trip?
If my husband doesn't kill me when I buy a project Type 1 I'm definitely getting an engine from the CB guys
😆
L. Nelson did the trip in 1971 with a 1971 type 2 stock bus had no problems with careful maintenance
Hahahha. “I would not personally do that, but I admire you” 😂😂. Damn!!! The details are insane 😳😳. This is really cool to see. You must pumped to get this going! I’m exited for u guys and excited to get back in my van for for summer. !!! You two are killin it. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for this. 👊🏻
Hi im Johan Clausen following you from day one all the way from south africa Capetown,love the series love to travel with on your adventures every episode , thank you for sharing your lives ,your briliant.
My poor bus wil never see the road again, 79 bay ,no nose skin,engine t4 ,solid no rust,have him for 13 years now only drove it once for 1000km ,cant afford to touch it at all,quite a shame , the smallest things cost to the effect of almost a months sallary here i see that it is 9700 dollars geeeez, ...that is a life time of saving away , thats almost more than three quarter of a years salary for me,i could never justify it,so hart broken right now.
hope you guys have the time of your lives again all over,
Safe Journey
YES, finally something for the motor heads! Not that your other videos aren't good, THEY ARE! But, I love the full picture and looking back at your videos many of them have had to do with something about the motor in your van being broke. So, now with this great little motor what will future videos be about LOL! Hopefully, not about having a broke down motor ;) GOOD STUFF thanks for taking the time to share. GET UP, GET OUT and ENJOY WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER!
A reason to look forward to Thursdays.. thank you!
Loving this I buy cb performance parts you can't go wrong there
Now you have got an engine of very high specifications, its going to be up to you to drive it more sympathetically then your previous engines.. Gouging at the throttle going uphill with the previous underpowered engines with an excessive load trying to go too fast, was the cause of the many engine failures..... Please be sympathetic to this beautifully engineered power plant !!
Back in the 60’s I drove a 64 VW camper down the west coast of Mexico as far as Puerto Vallarta, surfing at all spots along the way. I spent a month in San Blas at Matachen Bay, which Bill Cleary named the Mexican Malibu. The.bus plenty comfortable but as so often happened to early bus trailers my burned up on the way back. I spent week living in the bus in the VW dealer in Ciudad Obregon while the mechanics rebuilt the engine. They did such a poor job that the bus was burning a quart oil everyday heading back to the border. I just barely made it back to Santa Barbara where I had to rebuild the whole mess. I wish I would of had an engine like this!
My very first car was a '65 baja bug. Loved it! I think you have made some great decisions about the engine/trans combination. Fuel injection should provide a lot of reliability and a smooth running engine regardless of altitude. Just make certain that you have clean gas. I'm sure CB has been through all of that with you. Looking forward to your adventures! I think the only thing I might have done differently would be front disk brakes.
CB performance is the Greatest....Master mechanics
Watching your eyes glazing over with all the technical details, priceless. Lol
Aaahh! Can't wait any longer!
