Engine adjustment - video 01 valve clearance The valve clearance is the first thing to check when adjusting an engine.

Engine overhaul - video 17 assemble cylinder heads In this video, we show you how to assemble the cylinder heads of a VW Type 1 engine, and what to pay particular attention to.
Engine overhaul - video 04 removing the distributor drive shaft We want to give extra attention in this video to the position of the distributor drive shaft of the VW Type 1 engines, . If the drive shaft of the distributor is not correctly mounted during the engine overhaul, problems can arise later with the adjustment of the ignition timing.

In part 3, we will measure the valve spring pressure at installed length.
oil pressure gauge After an engine rebuild, when you start the engine for the first time, and when you start driving, you need to keep a close eye on a number of engine parameters. The most important are oil pressure, engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature.
Engine overhaul - video 06 find the TDC compression stroke We will explain in this video how to determine the top dead center, as well as which of the two top dead center moments is this one from the compression stroke. This is important in order to properly position the distributor drive shaft. Properly understanding how a four-stroke engine works is essential when you begin an engine overhaul.
Engine adjustment - video 02 adjusting the rocker arms In the first video of this series, we adjusted the valve clearance. In addition to the valve clearance, the position of the rocker arm relative to the valve stem, is also a very important setting. If a rocker arm is not positioned correctly, it can be adjusted, which is called shimming.
oil consumption Oil leaks are easy to rectify, sometimes even without having to remove the motor. We have saved the more difficult cases for this article, so we did not call this "oil leaks part 2" but "oil consumption". The distinction between the two is sometimes difficult to make, hopefully the information that follows will bring clarity.
