  Next time take the amount you’re narrowing out of the middle and the just relocate the mounting brackets. Less you have to cut up the beam and weld back together

  Very nice, doing and old 1965 1200 40hp single port right now. Cleaning everything up and will do the same thing on these heads. Not sure about the valve condition yet and there is some impact damage from a blown-out piston in one area but not where you lapped the inside so should be good. Definitely had blow by on the head where the blown piston was so lapping is a must on these. I got one of those cheap spring removers too, so your video is helpful setting up for this.

  Use a piece of pvc pipe just bigger then axle..slide boot on it then over axle remove pvc . Apply greas to pvc..first.. That's my idea anyhow..got to do this myself .just ordered the boots...thank for posting. 👍

  what im thinking is your fuel getting too cold with no heat risers. Ive got a friend of mine who delete his heat risers and his engine wouldnt handle acceleration properly. With a Vacuum leak, you idle would be all over the place, range about 850 then dropping to 600 then goes back up, etc...

  You may want to consider this... Your MIG welder can obviously weld with steel wire, but it can also work with MIG Brazing Wire as well... Now Mig Brazing is not Mig Welding, but it is extremely strong and it uses a whole lot less temperature, so it is much less likely you will have burn-through or warpage of the sheetmetal with MIG Brazing. Brazing of course is "bonding" it is not "welding", but the bond created with the bronze is very very strong, so strong you would probably break the two pieces of metal you have brazed together before you would break the brazed union. It's something to consider, and it is a perfectly acceptable method of working with sheet metal.

  That is an awesome suggestion, Billy. I have many more patches to do along the base of the front window and in the rain gutters and on the rear hatch, so I'll check that out. I'm up for trying anything that'll work.

• 
  @BillySBC8 ай бұрын

  @@SchoolStGarage Check out a few videos on "MIG Brazing" and "Brazing" in general. The temperature required for brazing is very much less than welding and provides a very strong bond that in many ways is nearly as strong as a weld. Good luck with your projects.

  I’ve been welding on rusty vws for years and sometimes it’s hard to do . I’m not the best but what I’ve found like here on my latest beetle video VW Beetle 1972 Saved from breaking. Repairing the RUST !! kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpWDxseMk7rJfbQ.html Is fibreglass filler as I had a few deep dents that I never pulled out but a tip from bad Chad was to use fibreglass filler,smooth then body filler on top (bondo) it filled the dents and looks ok oh and hides the boger welds :) keep going and good to move on then go back like I’ve done recently 👍 keep going at it sir , it will be fine

  @@SchoolStGarage G'day! My own 'projects' are illustrated on THE SAMBA website (I'm 'WINDISCH' there), which is, of course, perhaps the single best resource for all 'Buggers' (😉). One of my latest is adding what I call the 'Coanda Cooling System' to my '73 standard bug, which draws upon Romanian aerodynamist Henri Coandă's airflow dynamics theory to augment the bug's cooling capabilities. As for the distributor matter, I 'inherited' my bug's Bosch 009 disty, which while great on the track, is unsuitable for regular, everyday street use, so I recently decided to change back to the Bosch SVDA type. Unfortunately, despite my best aspirations and tyro enthusiasms, I was born with two hands full of thumbs, so I approach distys with a bit more awe and trepidation than most do. [Ditto for carburetors] I obtained an excellently rebuilt Bosch SVDA equipped with standard points/condenser but after using a PerTronix electronic igniter component (in my Bosch 009), I hesitate to go back to a standard points set-up. Thus, I recently ordered a PerTronix Flame-Thrower SVDA that has the electronic igniter on it and am waiting for it to arrive. I'll try the PerTronix unit first, then fall back on the rebuilt Bosch standard SVDA if required. Opinion on the PerTronix electronic ignition system appears to be quite divided (any inputs on that?). You can reach me privately at [email protected], if you wish.

• 
  @chriscarey1291 Жыл бұрын

  PS: Update on the Pertronix SVDA installation. I find the Pertronix SVDA disty to suit my needs perfectly. The dreaded 'dead-spot' of the 009 has been eliminated completely and my Bug now operates much more smoothly on initial acceleration from idle than it did with the 009. I'm quite happy with it (the Pertronix unit).
