Engine diagnostics - video 01 crankshaft end play In the first video of this new series, we will look at how to measure the crankshaft end play. Measuring the crankshaft end play, will help you estimate if your engine needs a total overhaul. If the result of the measurement is greater than or equal to 0.15 millimeters, then the crankshaft clearance is too large, and a total engine overhaul is recommended.
Engine overhaul - video 09 the fuel pump We will disassemble and reassemble the mechanical fuel pump from a VW Type 1 engine with carburetor in this video. The electric fuel pump is discussed in another video. The fuel pump pushrod and the fuel pump flange get extra attention in this video.
HPMX carburetors The most famous double carburettors are the Weber IDF and the Dellorto DRLA. Since a few years there is a new player on the market, namely the HPMX carburettor. This is marketed by EMPI and is also sold as a complete set, including manifolds, air filters, linkage and mounting material.
Engine diagnostics - video 04 part 1 valves and valve springs In video 16 of the engine overhaul series, we disassembled the valves and valve springs.
Not all of the cylinder heads we showed were in good condition, this does not mean that all parts need to be replaced. After a thorough diagnosis, it will show if the valves and valve springs are still reusable. This video discusses valve and valve spring diagnosis. It consists of four parts.
Engine diagnostics - video 02 rockers and rocker arm In video fourteen of our engine overhaul video series, we disassembled and reassembled the rocker arms and rocker shaft. We will diagnose the rocker arms and rocker shaft in this video. Additional attention will be paid to the adjusting screws and adjusting nuts.
Engine diagnostics - video 04 part 2 valves and valve springs In the second and third parts of this video, we will measure valve spring pressure. We begin in part 2 by measuring the valve spring pressure at open valve. Also known as the valve spring pressure at maximum valve lift. In part 3, we will measure the valve spring pressure at installed length.
Engine diagnostics - video 02 BONUS defective rockers arm parts In video two of this series, we measured the rocker arm parts, and compared them to the wear limits listed by the VW workshop manual. In this video, we will show examples of rocker arm parts that are in less good condition than these of our AB 1300 engine from video two. This should help, to better diagnose the rocker arm parts.
adjust type 1 carburetor The adjustment of the carburetor will determine the behavior of the engine. There are two types of carburetors for the type 1 engine when it comes to adjustment. The old generation (up to SOLEX 30 PICT-2) with two adjusting screws and the young generation with three adjusting screws (from SOLEX 30 PICT-3), recognizable by the large screw in the carburetor housing.
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.
Engine overhaul - video 08 ignition time of cylinder 1 In this video we will determine the ignition timing of cylinder 1. This mark will be needed to correctly position the distributor drive shaft during assembly, as well as for ignition advance adjustment once the Type 1 Volkswagen engine is rebuilt.
