Engine overhaul - video 07 TDC compression in practice In video six, we explained the operation of the four-stroke internal combustion engine through animations. In this video we will look at how to determine the top dead centre of cylinder 1 in practice. We will also learn how to find the compression stroke of cylinder 1, different techniques will be shown.
spark plug codes Spark plug manufacturers use different codes to identify their spark plugs. It can be very confusing if you are not familiar with their own brand names. At the end of this article, we summarize again the coding structure, so that everything becomes crystal clear.
spark plug heat range The construction of the part of the spark plug that is screwed into the cylinder head determines the degree of heat. The spark plugs are screwed into the cylinder head, which is the warmest spot of the engine. Temperatures can be as high as 1000°C. The electrode part of the spark plug extends into the combustion chamber of the cylinder head.
the condenser explained The condenser is the most misunderstood part of the motor. What is inside that metal cylindrical part? So, what does this part actually do? Is it really necessary for the proper functioning of the engine? In this article we will limit ourselves to explaining what a capacitor is and what it does, and to measuring and testing the condenser.
checking the Dwell angle There are several devices available to dynamically measure the Dwell Angle. These are usually combined devices that measure battery voltage, Dwell Angle and advance. Others can also be used to measure the CO content of exhaust gases.
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. Disassembling the drive shaft is then the only solution.
testing the condenser Without the condenser, the ignition will really not work properly and the contacts will burn in quickly. So it is important to measure at regular intervals if the condenser in your VW motor is still working.
voltage drops The electric consumers of your classic Volkswagen expect the full 6 volts or 12 volts (or more) to function properly, which is unfortunately not always the case. Especially the 6 volt version sometimes complains about slow running windscreen wipers, weak headlights and direction indicators that pinch too slowly.
Engine overhaul - video 05 install the distributor drive shaft This is the continuation of video 04, we are now going to install the distributor drive shaft, both on an already rebuilt Volkswagen Type 1 engine and on a split Type 1 crankcase. We pay a lot of attention to the correct positioning of the drive shaft at the beginning of this video series, because it is crucial to be able to adjust the ignition properly, later, when the engine is overhauled.
finding the top dead center What does Top Dead Center (TDC) actually mean? If you study the theory of the operation of an internal combustion engine - or the "petrol engine" - it will become clear. Without going into too much detail about the theory, we have to talk about the otto cycle, better known as the four stroke cycle.
