crankshaft seal replacement If you find that the crankshaft clearance is outside the factory specifications, replacing the crankshaft seal will not be a solution for the oil leak you have identified. If the crankshaft clearance is less than 0.30 mm, it makes sense to replace the oil seal, otherwise a total engine overhaul is the only worthwhile option.
cylinder head specifications One of the most heavily loaded parts in the air-cooled VW engine is undoubtedly the cylinder head. Especially the valves, valve guides and valve seats have to endure a lot because of the high temperatures, the temperature differences and the mechanical load in an air-cooled engine.
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.
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.
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 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.
type 1 sump plate Replacing the crankcase oil of a Type 1 engine is a job every VW enthusiast has done once in a while. It involves loosening a few nuts, replacing gaskets and tightening everything again, right?
It seems a simple operation, but nothing could be further from the truth.
replace a thread When you are working on your VW, you will encounter this problem at some point; a bolt of the crankcase cover doesn't really turn in the thread in the crankcase anymore. The more you try, the worse it gets. There is too little tension between the crankcase cover and crankcase, with oil leakage as a result.
measure crankshaft end play The play is caused by wear of the engine, this is actually very normal, and will occur faster with performance engines. With normal use of standard VW engines in combination with a good maintenance of the engine, wear will not occur quickly.
sump plate stud length How many VW enthusiasts are surprised that the engine leaks after an oil change? Read all about the type 1 sump plate in edition 20, what to look out for, how to attach it and with which tools. In this edition we will determine the maximum length of the sump plate studs, to prevent oil leaks.
