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.

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?
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.

But replacement may also be necessary, when you discover an oil leak behind the flywheel, which will impair the operation of the clutch. We show in this video how to disassemble and reassemble the crank seal.
oil seals All rotating parts fitted with bearings lubricated by oil or grease, such as crankshafts, transmission shafts, drive shafts, steering rods, etc., must be sealed. In our classic VW's we find two types of oil seals, namely the static and the dynamic (lip seal) oil seals.
Engine overhaul - video 08 ignition time of cylinder 1 In this video we will determine the ignition timing of cylinder 1.

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.
