  1. Engines are seriously scary if you think about it. All that precisely machined metal, the hardest most durable substance on earth that humiliates the hardest parts of our own body and entire general environment around us, all crafted insidiously into this pumping cranking machine floating in oil. It’s like a violent little pipe bomb it really is HARD if you think about its internal functioning the reality of the forces and mechanism there to have come out of the human mind…

  2. I half dozed off while I was watching the video and when he used the wire brush of the grinder with its loud noise it was a very dramatic wakeup!!!

  3. Reminds me about how I used to do this kind of work one day and have to be ready next day to go to work. Back in the day it cost me 50.00 a head for 1600 dp heads. 1985.
    Nice to have an engine stand too.
    I hate to say people throw away those bellows thinking "I dont need that" then wonder why it does not run right.

  4. When I watch Mustie operate on an engine, I wonder what he might have accomplished had he decided to to be neurologist and operate on the human brain instead. I would have let him prod inside my head anytime.

  5. Musti the vw and corvair are almost identical. There are excellent instructions on both forums on reconditioning it isn't hard good luck you have an excellent program an exceeding varied.

  6. I love VEE DUBS. So simple, but there is a right and wrong way to do things. Mustie does it right. How someone ruins a set a heads is beyond me. Mustie making me a fan of VEE DUBS. Awesome!

  7. I love that instead of just doing it yourself you had Brian do it. It's nice to be able to teach what you know, not so you don't have to but so that others can learn and do it for themselves. Promotes growth for both parties

  8. Mostly Trouble free Engines, Valves must be Adjusted Regularly-loose valves just a rattle–Tight ones not good-will general burn valve and then the oil consumption starts. I've owned two VW's, a 1965 that I used for a Mud Machine and a New 1972 Super Beetle that was used for the Highway–wish that I still had the 72 one, candy apple red with Crager Mags and Performance Exhaust kit…
