Shy Posters by Bob Hoover
To All: There are quite a few of you subscribed to this Group. Many of you are actually building engines! And running them. And filling the neighborhood with expensive white smoke. Then writing to me. Eventually, we get the problems ironed out, an interesting process for the TWO of us. I've...

Hard to find parts... aircooled.net.. what the *? by John J[_3_]
Referring to a previous post in which I wrote that aircooled.net could not provide carb float bowls for the kadrons (and variants) for over four months, well I just got a confirmation from CP1.COM that they got my order for the same this morning and _shipped it this afternoon_. It remains to be...

Help? by Bob Hoover
Hi guys, Try and help me out here. Most of you know I get a lot of mail. Surprisingly, a lot of that mail comes WITHOUT a return address. If it's for a topic of common interest I may answer it without referring to the asker... but a lot of times the fellow (or gal) makes it clear that a...

CAM BEARING & CRANKCASE SEALING by Bob Hoover
TO ALL ENGINE BUILDERS: It is NOT 'string' it is SILK. More specifically, it is #50 THREAD, although I have seen a German-born, factory-trained mechanic spinning free a few STRANDS from silk embroidery thread. This method applies ONLY to the crankcase's EXTERIOR parting flange. NOTHING is...

It's just a shame by [email protected]
It's just a real shame that we have allowed a low-life scumbag like Mario to cause all this bickering and infighting amongst the decent folks here. I'm thinking we can figure out a way to all get along again. But the little scumbag did send me an email. Seems I might have offended him. Randy

Start-up Wear by Bob Hoover
In responding to another thread I mentioned 'start-up wear,' which got me a querie as to what I was talking about. See that oil light? Notice that when starting your engine it stays ON until the oil pressure is high enough to turn it off? During that period it means your engine is operating...

Question on brake pins by Eddie
I was driving and all of a sudden, I hear a rattle coming from the right rear. I took the drum off and the springs that hold the shoes to the backing plate were sitting at the bottom. I have an extra set of pins, springs and shoes for the front. Are the pins the same size for both front and...

I have ordered from them several times in the past for my 63 and never had a problem, this time though was a pretty bad experience. Placed an order back in September to rewire my 68, didnt hear anything back for a week...

Question for Bob Hoover and the rest of the VW gurus by Leopold Stotch[_2_]
I'm about to start rebuilding my 1200cc motor. I've done a lot of research, read a few books (including the Bentley Bible),and watched a few engine rebuilding videos. There seems to be some difference of opinion concerning the rear main seal. Some advocate applying glue on the outer edge of...

Valve Spring Retainer Wear by \Harry Smith\
Hello all, Now that my '74 standard bug is no longer my daily driver I find myself worrying about something that I noticed a while ago. The engine is a Mexican 1600 with unknown mileage.

I give up. Is there a reputable VW shop in St Louis... by barnhart_pinball[_3_]
I've spent enough time on my daughter's 72 SB. I rebuilt the engine and carb, got it put in place. Adjusted the valves (thanks for the info, mine were WAY off) and carb. Since then, I've had idling issues (comes and goes) a rattle that increases with RPM (sounds like it's coming from around...
