A Man with the correct Tool can do wonders….. AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols.good job on those exhaust port studs… nice old machine……why didn't you lap the heads and jugs to begin with… That's how I was taught…Now you got too lick your calf over… Awesome 😎 stuff
Listo, you have a lot of tools, how could it be that you don't have the tool to resurface the VW cylinder head ? I know that you can make it or buy it and save yourself a lot of time and agrivation
UK something to consider is a spark erode to remove broken off taps it burns out the center, allowing the breaking off the remaining part. (Total understand you have repaired it by now only just found you and love to watch each and every film)
The Porsche 356 engine blocks had head studs which were "thru-bolted" What this was is that they ran the studs thru the case and capped it with a nut inside the engine. I don't remember if it had a washer, I think it did. Then they welded the nut to the stud in the case. If you build up a vw engine with too much power you can literally blow the studs out of the case. I did, back in 75. So if you want a powerful, engine find a machine shop to make you some studs. After driving beetles as my daily ride for 30 years It finally hit me , they were, and always will be, junk, I wouldn't waste any time fixing one or riding in one ever again. Just sayin' Mike
just noticed red loctite on aluminum, that is a no no unless its aluminum safe, it eats the threads out. They make a blue which is temporary and another for aluminum, its been a while maybe things changed.
SO what you are saying in terms of a head gasket is they don't exist Mustie? I rebuilt a 1600 dual port 25 years ago as a kid and the kit came with head gaskets, pretty sure they were copper from Kochs cali. I am going to rebuild it again to freshen up gaskets as it sat for 25 years, same oil in it. I am pretty sure the motor is excellent as I remembered and all machined to specs. The car is a 73 super, no rust and I grew up in that car. I, like you am not good at body work and its a partial primer and light rust, have all parts except running boards, heater registers and a couple switched for the fan.
Mustie if I may give you an advice on the hole repair. The mill turn a little to high rpm turn it down to avoid vibrations. Second when you drilled the first hole your tool is in the centre so put in a spring-loaded center point into the tool holder then your accurate wile taping. Also for the second hole then your dead strait. But you bailed it by hand. Nice video
yurp

I like the fact you try to make old stuff work instead of selling the high priced junk from china. If it leaves me it is junk ready for recycle lol.
Love the EZ Wider sticker
Why did You not lap the jugs into the heads as you with a valve with grinding paste, basic metal to metal 101?
The pots are single so why arnt the heads .don't ficker out to me

I'm surprised you can't put thin copper head gaskets in there, that would seal them up
Really enjoy watching what you do.especially with petrol mowers.have learned a lot seeing it done.ta.
