Engine overhaul - video 14 rockers and pushrods In this video we will show how to disassemble and reassemble the rocker arms and pushrods. We will discuss the diagnosis of the rockers and pushrods in our other video series, which deals with engine diagnosis. How to adjust the rockers, an action also known as shimming, can be seen in our video series on engine adjustment.
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.
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 adjustment - video 02 adjusting the rocker arms In the first video of this series, we adjusted the valve clearance. In addition to the valve clearance, the position of the rocker arm relative to the valve stem, is also a very important setting. If a rocker arm is not positioned correctly, it can be adjusted, which is called shimming.
Engine overhaul - video 03 the workshop We show in this video what the possibilities are to work on your VW engine. If you plan to overhaul several engines, then buying a professional engine stand is recommended. If you only want to overhaul the engine of your own classic Volkswagen, then buying special tools is not cost effective. We will show all options.
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 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 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 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.
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.
