crankshaft end play Whether an oil leak is caused by a defective crankshaft seal or O-ring/packaging is not always easy to determine. At the bottom of the engine, near the flywheel, where the gearbox and the engine are connected to each other, you will see traces of engine oil.
crankshaft types The heart of the engine is the crankshaft. Literally, everything revolves around this piece, we can compare it to the human backbone. The robustness and optimal performance of this component is therefore essential for a reliable engine, especially when the engine has to push a heavier VW Bus or when the engine has more horsepower than standard.
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.
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 overhaul - video 10 the crankshaft pulley In this tenth video, we will show how to disassemble and reassemble the crankshaft pulley. We will use special tools for this, standard tools, as well as a homemade pulley puller. If you don't have the right tools and use the right technique, chances are you will warp the crankshaft pulley, you really don't want that. So watch this video carefully before you start this job.
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.
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.
crankshaft pulley removal Removing the crankshaft pulley on an engine that has run 100,000 km and more is best not done with just a hammer and brute force. You would prefer to reuse the original crankshaft pulley on your engine, were it not for the budget, also for the factory originality.
Engine overhaul - video 12 the flywheel In this video, we'll explain how to disassemble and assemble the flywheel, and what tools you'll need to do so. To disassemble the flywheel, you will need to unscrew the gland nut. This nut is attached with a torque of 350 Nm, it will require some force to loosen.
oil leakage If you are planning to buy a classic Volkswagen, you will certainly take a look under the engine lid and under the car. If it's dirty both at the bottom and under the bonnet, it doesn't offer much trust. The engine will need a lot of attention in the coming weeks, but how bad is it?
