    BE sure to COMMENT. and like or dislike other comments. thanks for your help with that.
    The term Bulletproof is a very loose term It means an engine that is low maintenance reliable powerful and strong. At least in a vw as good as you can get on a medium budget.

    the Bosch 007 centrifical force distributer is set with the engine shut off. It is set at 7 degrees before top...that is real close to the weith of the raised case half. TDD is center slit between halves, just set crank pully slot at the outer edge of left case half-raised area where 13 mm bolts go. Turn ignition on rotate dist until you hear spark. Removing the cap will make it easier. Snug up clamp bolt and rotate crank counter clockwise half a turn. Rotate clockwise and listen for spark, you can also watch for spark. It looks to be a fair build. I've built 50 or so high-performance air-cooled.

  • @pauljanssen7594
    @pauljanssen7594 Год назад +1

    One of the key most important parts of a VW engine for longevity lightened flywheel so you don't pound out the rear bearing and have the thing balanced. The heavy flywheel when the two rear cylinder fire causes rear bearing to hammer itself which works out the case.

  • @torbenalstrup3902
    @torbenalstrup3902 4 года назад +2

    There are many ways to build, start and break in a new engine, but that long on the initial start up, and I would have been very close to taking it apart again. I REALLY don´t understand why people do not set the timing right BEFORE they start it. That takes one more "guess" out of the equation. You have full flow mods. Good. But why didnt you hook it up to a filter during start up? Start up is after all one of the most critical phases of an engines life. - When you get the initial bugs sorted out I can recommend to swop the 009 copy to an SVDA from the later ´74 -76 1600 engines, or even better a programmable unit. Black box, Megajolt or even the now very popular 123 usb. That can help you clean up the idle and give you a smoother ride, a cooler running engine and better fuel efficiency.

    1. Break-in oil - straight weight non- detergent oil to get all parts seated
    2. You did say 20 minute run without load? Great way to glaze the cylinders and not seat the rings. Always mounted the engine and ran several moderate to high load runs up hill, if you can, to get cylinder pressures up for ring break-in.
    Nicely done series!

      running pretty good just need to get the accelerator pump so we can get the carb right. The empi carb kit had good parts other than the accel pump. We got another accel pump ordered. we only went with the empi one because we were not sure if the ones on the internet were the same because they only had ones with different numbers. getting hard to find those original parts disappearing fast. I needed more power than stock. too. that is the reason for the build.

    At least you got the oil around the engine before you fired it up. You would be surprised to know how long it actually takes to get rid of the air out of the oil system.
    The majority of start up ceasing is due to an air lock in the oil system.
    Sounds smooth and had a good tone, tuning the progressive carb is always difficult as the mixture adjustment faces the fanshroud.

    • @mikesrandomvideos
      @mikesrandomvideos 5 лет назад +1

      that location of the air screw is difficult but without the accelerator pump it was just too far out to try. another kit arriving today.. The empi kit was nice except for the accelerator pump. I just could not see spending 60 at the parts store for another one just to continue the video but we should have all the parts in a few days. Wish I could have gotten the footage of the full throttle rev it was intense even with the cough and spit. Chris knows what dual carbs are like he runs them all the time but he was shocked how the 2 barrel sounded. the young guys aren't ready for that our of something so small.

      @@Mikefngarageyeah, countless times having engines start right up, then you throw a camera into the mix . Shit happens, that's why we have toilets ! It's been years but I remember for some reason bug fuel pumps were a weak point. Maybe because of no screen on fuel line from tank to pump and the fact it taps into the tank at the lowest point of tank, so any kind of contamination goes right to the pump and acts like a garbage disposal. Also bottom of tank in bug isn't much lower than carb so a weak pump won't show till you try to pull from gas can sitting on the ground. Bet if you put that can on a stool that pump would work .

On stores that offer their inventory online I have what I wanted go there that won’t work they say 😡 please pull the part and bring it up here I understand you don’t carry Empi replacement parts but take this carb number to see what cars may have used it now using you company’s part number for the carb look to see what replacement parts you offer for it , and now I have what I need a cheaper $ and you have a sale and maybe they have learned something so that poor customer doesn’t hear I’m sorry we don’t carry that , you need high $ dealers. 1 part (peace) May have 10 or more different part # or sub manufacturers I know some work has been to standardize this but updates and general understanding is slow in coming, Oh USA this isn’t a perfect world I’ve been told by my bosses, say let’s make it one they say cost to much and takes to long what mr money bags isn’t looking at is once completed efficiency will more then make up for the cost. Oh wait would that be someone who takes pride in there work dam that takes to long and cost to much this one time you can learn something from history looking at a USA 1950’s employee to today’s employee that answer is its not my job to do my job I’m only here for the money.

    Some questions. Most of the air cooled VWs I see are running duels why the single carb? Did I miss something?
    How good would this engine setup work in a 72 bus?
    Thanks.

    • @Mikefngarage
      @Mikefngarage  5 лет назад +1

      they make a modified tin setup for installing a type 1 in a early bus. check CIP1. The reson for the single carb is for easy start more torque less adjustments. Longer intake is for more torque. I would run one of these VS type 4 in a bus just like it its.

    • @Mikefngarage
      @Mikefngarage  5 лет назад +2

      single carb with choke for easy morning starts. Dual carbs can have more adjustment and maintenance issues. More horsepower but potentially less torque because of the short intake runners.

    My comments are ---- lets see the oil . some of the engines that I had that lasted good had terrible debris on the break in . On those black pistons they make so much shit I thought this cant be good but it lasted just as good as any other motor. And this is something you said the other day. If it is not a MOTOR then do you ride a ENGINECYCLE????? That carb. is kinda 1600 size . at least open up jets a little. it will hold down the RPM . 80 lbs oil pressure is showing a good tight crank and no bleed outs !!!!!! On my motor the relief valve by the flywheel opens due to heat. when the motor warms up you can hear it when it opens. Last comment ----- what is your address in Riverside and what time do you go to sleep!!!!!!!!!????????

    • @mikesrandomvideos
      @mikesrandomvideos 5 лет назад +3

      ENGINECYCLE LMAO. damn jimmy you got the good stuff. Yea that engine is pretty pricey. guys are paying like 8 grand for one of these OTD from a rebuild shop. We revved it up as soon as it hit the secondary even with the cough it sounded like it would suck your whole head down that carb and bumped 6k rpm in the blink of an eye. I just wanted to fix the fuel leak then I was going to continue the video but no parts available. so I had to end it. I think we will be doing the other MOTOR in the shed to a 1968 74 to show how easy it is to do a 74 vs using a 69. will tear it down and see if the parts are still good inside. I dont want to do another new parts complete build just too much money. Mag case should be good on that one still I built that one back when I was super young and had no money. Traded stuff to get that motor back in the broke teenager days. kept it all this time. That is the one that hit 105mph with a 4.12 so hopefully it is still ok inside. a little abusive teenage lead foot with more balls then brains. hoping the Forged pistons made it.

    • @mikesrandomvideos
      @mikesrandomvideos 5 лет назад +3

      the cheap ass teenager never paid for an 8 dowel or a counterweight crank so that is why I stopped driving that motor. flywheel started to come loose so it pulled it. before it damaged anything.
