I’m really damn glad I found this video because I’m putting together an 1835 right now, brand new to VW and I watched a JBugs video building a stroker and he used copper head shims. I put take the engine together last night and was like “shit I don’t have those.” I’m glad to find out they’re not necessary unless you’re doing it with purpose. So I cancelled my order. 🤣

I have just fitted my jugs, but a bit tight to fit to the engine case, so I used a piece of wood pine, across the top of the jugs and hammer them in, I hope that is fine and won't damage the seal.

A little grease on the top of the barrel(cylinder) makes it seal up alittle better. Also shims to change compression should always be at bottom, head will seal 100 percent iron to aluminum if oil or grease applied before torqueing.

I should have had my gf's 1970 Squareback engine rebuilt professionally. Even with the new jugs & pistons, rebuilt heads and all the care I took, the fuel injection never liked either one of my rebuild attempts. Glad I (was) driving an old Subaru that ran cooler & quieter and got 40+MPG too!

No one could explain more detailed accurate VW specs and over all obviously countless years experience with these motors and different variations plain and simple enough for the average " Volkswagen turned me into a mechanic guy" better than you and the way you present it. I have gained quite a bit from your help. Appreciate it! I bought a totally restored 75 sb that burnt up when dual carbs were installed. I got it with a single carb but it has a ? cam it was fixed with large oil pump and flo through & exhaust. Is there a way to tell what size or displacement what have you, without removing the head? Thanks.

I can tell if it is a 1500 just by hearing it run. The 1500 has it's own distinctive sound. The 1600 dual port sounds like a tin can about to fall apart.

I realize this is an old video posting, but I can't figure how to contact you. I watch all you videos, and wanted to see if this might reach you. I purchased a Mahle cylinder/piston kit (85.5) along with a set of Big Valve HP heads. The top shoulder of the cylinder has a length of approximately .0600. The seating surface inside the head is .0500. With this configuration I have about .047 deck clearance between the top of piston and upper cylinder lip. The chrome molly rods are 5.394 in length. With the heads torque down, I have a significant gap between the top fins of the cylinder and the base of the head. I’m not sure why this exists.

No head gasket. It seals because of the expansion rate. As it gets hot, metal expands, in this case making an incredible seal.

Hey man good video.I have a question tho. I'm building a motor and I'm making the tool to measure the combustion chamber on the heads and I'm building a1641 but I'd like to know what the outside diameter of the jugs are for a 92mm(1776/1835) and 94mm(1915) so I can figure out what size plexiglass discs to cut out. If you could measure the diameter of the Chambers on a couple of your heads that have been opened up I'd appreciate the info. Also in the video you were talking about making sure everything was flat and mentioned getting a piece of glass and some sandpaper but you didn't say how to use the glass. If you could let me know or maybe make a video explaining that process? Some other things that need videos is one really explain the process of setting your compression ratio, measuring deck height (preferably with an idea how to do that without having to buy a specialty tool), how to measure the cylinder head chamber and then the math to figure out your ratio and how to shim the jugs to adjust your ratio. There just isn't a good video for setting the compression ratio. Also you mentioned some spacers and shims. Do you recommend using a spacer/shim at the top of the cylinder where the jug meets the head? You mentioned the copper ones? What's your opinion on that? And while you're at it I'd like to hear/see your methods for setting end-play and your ideas on how to shim the distributor drive gear. Thanks again look forward to hearing from you.

My mother had a 1971 Volkswagen with the 1600 dual port. She had this problem three times, and had to have a rebuilt motor installed. A fourth attempt was averted when her mechanic found the compression on the number 3 cylinder was low, and the cause was a burned valve. Her mechanic also said this problem was common on the 1600 dual port. He said to adjust your valves and change your oil every 3000 miles. She did that, and it did nothing to stop it. The motor also was tuned every 12,000 miles, and only Bosch parts were used. What she ended up doing was having a after market oil cooler installed to help cool down the motor. At the time these cars were popular and on the road everywhere that is what many people did to them to try and stop the valves from burning. With the 1600 dual port you have to keep your eyes on the compression, and pull the heads to change the valves if it gets low. Her mechanic also said any compression reading below 110 was a signal that you were about to need a valve job.

my '73 VW kept popping out a spark plug, so I took off the engine last year... and I thought it was an easy job to change the coil or change the engine heads. Now, I am stuck with rusted bolts that are not easy to remove. Question: How do I remove the heads? Do I really need to remove the muffler to gain access to remove the heads? is there any youtube link for "how to remove the engine head on VW"?

+Afra Bangash Question: How do I remove the heads? ---Read the manuals Do I really need to remove the muffler to gain access to remove the heads? ---Yes, and the intake manifold as well is there any youtube link for "how to remove the engine head on VW"? --Not that I am aware of. If you want to remove the head, you might as well drop the engine and send both heads out to have them heli-coiled / timesert Also, if you have rusted exhaust bolts, be prepared for those to snap clean off when you go to try and remove them, You will then need to take those heads to a machine shop to have the bad studs removed and replaced. Also, tbh, if those two manuals don't help you much, I suggest you don't waste your time and frustration and drop the car off at a shop With the Haynes manual alone, I was able to drop my 67 Ghia engine out onto my skateboard when I was 16 and work on it. I snapped off two exhaust studs and found a ton of old leaves buried in between the cylinders. It was a great learning experience.
