He found out that the numbers do not match and he's not that interested in it. I think it looks like it's been sitting here. What do you want to say 40 years 30 years? Oh, i changed my mind. I think maybe we should bring that home.

Maybe try to do a will. It run on that hey get some rpms out of it. Do that then it'll fly hey guys, how's it going hey we're going to continue on on this uh late 60s vw bus engine that was dug out of a edge of a barn that was kind of like out in the weather. Can you tell, and i had a tarp over the top of it - went through it and tried to get the run? It was running on one cylinder if you want to call it running, but it ended up popping the valve covers off after doing a compression test, because only one cylinder head compression.

So this one the valve is right apart, the keeper is not on it. The keepers were laying in the bottom of the valve cover, so that valve is not doing anything just kind of flopping in the breeze. And then we took a peek at the other side, and the rocker assembly was rotted and rusted together, popped that side off and started tapping with a plastic mallet on the top of the valve to see how they were and that one extended itself out. The house taller than the other ones: well, that's not good! It's because the head of the valve broke off and fell down into the engine when we were doing that.

So it's got to come apart. You cannot rotate the engine around anymore because of that. But let's go see what happened? Yay! Hmm! I don't see too much water a little bit of hinting of it in that just crappy. Looking look at the rest of this.

That was uh underground a little bit. I'm gon na knock some of that crap off. Then i got ta get that thermostat disconnected because that goes right through to that big black fan trout there for us to be able to lift that up and out of the way i have a feeling i'm going to have to do that to every screw. On this, that thing is called the shaking brake put different bits on it.

So, ah remember my tie wrap it's still. There yeah we can see inside obviously, there's been about 35 generations of mice living in it. Chipmunks rats. Take your pick, she's, not very clean.

Is she all right? Let's get the intake manifold out of our way it'll be next, then we can get these tins off. We actually got ta get there's not much left, not much left of them underneath here. I'm not gon na worry about destroying this one's already shot. Underneath here's two screws that make this uh heat crossover attached to the exhaust.

I got ta get them off this hunk of metal screaming tetanus shot, so maybe put gloves on so up front. This is where a muffler would have been. This would have been a muffler, but there's not much left of it on either side. They can try to get those nuts off here's the ones i got ta break.

I can literally just break these right off because it's for the muffler that they're threaded into the top will just have a clearance hole, so it won't hurt the intake manifold. We're just gon na cut those right off. There's nothing left of that nut. So i'm going in with a chisel try to get it to turn you.

This could take a while. Let's get that to break free, i had to grind the heads off the that side. So one piece closer good uh. This is the side of shooting fire on.

I took the rest of that muffler off of there yeah. I think somebody found a home in there huh with that or that's where the water went in. I actually think it probably filled the cylinders up. I'm surprised that it actually turned over.

Let's see if we'll go and do that again, we're gon na go find out in a minute we're almost to the point where we get the heads off. Let's go take this skin off once this is out of here, which is these two screws, then we can take the rockers and the assemblies off. Hopefully the heads will come off. Sometimes i want to take the jugs with it.

Oh yeah, so i think somebody's been here before us because we have a broken fin here and a broken fin here and it's probably from someone trying to pry on it. It's just a guess on my part, though, i'm gon na go get the vacuum vacuum. Some of the crap out of the top of here a little bit and we'll get the head rocker shafts off, and the head bolts out see if that head will de-head itself we're going in here's that first number four cylinder actually broke the back of the keeper. Again, this was like that for a long time because the keeper was like stuck down in the mud in the corner down there yeah that's a, i know it probably broke just from running and hammering for a long period of time.

The valve may be bent over inside there. Let's go get ourselves a 15 and buzz that cylinder. Heads off i'd, say it's time for the beatings to begin, let's see a little tension on it moving. That's a good sign.

We're in want to see go over to the bench. Take a look at the head. Look at that still in the face, there's a bunch of wax right there from the valve hitting it staying open, and then this one had no compression as far as um no tension on the cylinder head. There's a break there, so yeah somebody's definitely been in here before us all these being busted off and it wasn't cylinder head was not torqued on this one.

So this one had a ton of blow-by. So all those black is that you see here that's exhaust every time it would fire it was literally leaking out of here. Instead of going through the combustion chamber and pushing the piston back down, it's called blow by there's no head gasket, it's just the steel into the aluminum, we'll wipe them out later take a look at how they look. Let's go over to the cylinder head.

Oh, it's bent hard to say definitely bound up, though this is the only cylinder that was running. I think you can see all the blow by see all the crap that was on there, so no matter what that was junk. Let's go whack that with a mouse. If it goes back in like whack-a-mole, maybe go back in, it's definitely bent.

You can see the air gap around that, so that cylinder was kapoosh for a while look at the hammering that it took where the spring seat is. It was just everything flapping around in there because it sounded like a freight train. Let's go take a look at the other side. That's the one.

The valve fell off it's getting late in the day. Let me know if it shows that was faster. Let's see if this one decides to come free as easy as the other one did. That's, as afraid of, i think, that's how i broke loose this one's hanging on, though i need to get where you are strike from this this side and i'll bring you back when i get the crack loose.

I think this cylinder, the jug's gon na, come with it. That's: okay, yeah there we go you're looking over there see where i'm giggling, so that was going to be an issue at that huh clean break bent. Was it bent he smashes into the piston? I get a better light in there looks like there is flip that over that's the wrong one, go wait a minute praising the same thing, get that jug off of there i'll do without cracking. It needs a little more persuasion, wash your toes there.

It's off and shorter, that's going to take a peek in on there. Yeah definitely made a clean break. I caused that, but i don't know for what reasoning me tapping on it caused it to do that. Do you think that's a cylinder that took on all the water, let's go see, what's up, can we get down hey, i don't see anything there.

I don't think i was hitting the piston. It was coming when i was drawing it in. I wonder if it was just binding there before, while i was cranking it over. My cell looks pretty cruddy.

I got the carbon crap on that one, but that one had no compression too correct yeah, because we only had number three cylinder that had compression. So this cylinder was also dead, but i think it was dick because the rockers were frozen, holding them in the open position got stuck. That cylinder was on there too bad. I cracked the skirt when i was trying to get it off of there and then i then i mentally cracked, let's go uh clean up one of the bores and take a look at how the cylinders actually are and how that piston is on the one.

Next to it the first part i looked at that piston, it's gotten hot. It definitely was uh cooked somewhat. Let's go yeah go, get a little lower. Look at that cylinder.

You see tilt that up, because we had a lot of blow-by right there too. There's a big burn on the side. I think see some exiting right here. Yeah, it's definitely got some mileage on it.

I think it overheated though i think that was probably what happened to it. It may have had a mouse nest in its past and it caused the issue on the other side, with the keeper falling off, i bound the valve up overheated and everything kind of bound on it caused the outside to stick, and then they just took it out Of service after that, but it looked like it was uh burning up for a while. You can definitely see it's had some heat a lot of times too. When you see the cylinder head, pull away like that, i talked about and getting the blow by and there's no tension a couple of things happening: either the studs pull out of the block or the uh they get hot and everything expands at different rates.

And then it causes the blow by everything kind of stretches out, while it's hot and it no longer has the uh tension proper tension for the cylinder head holding back on it. I wouldn't say that terrible here just got some hammering right there. So what are we going to do with it? Not sure i have a couple other engines, so it's not like i'm entire need to have this one assembled it pretty much. Everything on it is junk.

The distributor may work, that's about it. Uh generator might be good. The thermostat might be good. All the tins are shot, there's not a redeeming one.

On there the intake manifold you got ta blow through to see if air can go underneath the bottom passage, if that's clogged or not, that might be savable and the pulleys and everything are all junk and rotted and bent so that front one is bent. So, let's go pretty much stand. We're gon na take a screwdriver we're gon na check the end play of the crank down below and see how the bottom end is so bottom end play is how much the crank moves from side to side. You can kind of get a general idea how sloppy this you can pop a screwdriver on each side, i'm just going to quickly feel what we got.

That feels like quite a bit yeah, it's pretty sloppy. Let's go see if we can go put a gauge on we'll get an actual number on it, but i figure it's uh. It seems like it's quite a bit over what it should be. Well guys.

I have my magnetic base here, but i do not have the gauge that goes on the end of it. It's at my house. I think so with that. I think we're gon na go call it.

We pretty much know it's trash. The bottom end may be able to be used over again. The fact that it's a b case is uh helpful because he is kind of a universal case. You either put it in a beetle or a bus doesn't really matter, but it just pretty much needs everything.

Whether i would put it together or not, i have quite a few other engines that are in much better shape so honestly to concentrate on this. When i know i have better candidates to make a better engine out of for the long run, it would be kind of foolish i'd rather put the time and effort into one of those is, and that's what i will do, but it was fun to go. Take this one apart anyway, to go figure out what happened to it, a little bit of back history where it died and why it was taken out and lost the valve on number four and again looks like somebody tried getting in there and prying in there at One time it was already apart and then no compression because they had none of the cylinders were tight. The uh one of them it was backed right off, wasn't even tightened down.

So my guess is it really did get overheated and cooked pretty good, all right guys. So hit that i'm gon na sign off and thank you all for hanging out with me and uh making a mess in the garage. But you know there's worse things. We could be doing right, it'll pick through the cherry pieces and i think the rest of it's gon na uh end up in the middle.

It's going to end up in purgatory, which is the dump trailer that gets uh all the old pieces of metal thrown into it, but not quite thrown out. Yet until you have to go dump the trailer. So i could always go back and steal a bit off of it or take it back out. If i need to all right guys enough info with that, thanks for hanging out with me having a little bit of fun, wrenching on rusty, junk and uh trying to make fire till then later so hidden back in here, sanctum of the horde under all that snow And car covers vw engine parts for 1600, yes believe it or not.

I may want to go get a shovel because they're under that right there. Well, that's a tad dark! Now! Isn't it in here so we have exhaust rear, tin, a frame shroud, there's cylinder heads somewhere yeah. So we get a number one: 115. 120.
