Found this on Ryans motor. Just about everything on this motor looks original, right down to the fuel line crimp clamps. Im assuming this is the original battery ground strap. If so then vw thought the shroud/engine should be grounded, as you did as well.

Pretty cool that he even has the diagnostic plug still installed and complete with protective cap.

January 13, 2020. MDX being detailed today, thought I would work on the bus for while and get the rest of the engine pulled out.

1. Remove throttle cable

5. Put round block of wood w/ small bolt into jack, put bolt into hole in trans bottom.

6. Loosen trans nose bolts
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


7. Loosen 4 engine carrier bolts but do not pull bolts as they support engine.
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


8. Remove exhaust cat, muffler etc to give more room to move engine back the put atv jack under engine.
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


9. Trans lowered as engine moves down and out.
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


10. Engine and trans out on the two jacks. easy to roll on the concrete. When you pull the engine on the atv jack, the trans follows along. There are twp holes in the plywood that the engine carrier studs and nuts drop into, and the bolt and wood plate holds the trans to the trailing jack. This way everything follows along. Neat.

11. Rolled over to workbench and ready to disassemble.

12. Detailers are done with MDX, The VW engine and trans are ready for the next phase. New heads and case. Hope my back holds up.

Jan 20 2020

HVAC guys are here making a mod to the ducting system I engineered to lower air resistance in the system to allow better air conditioning filters, so it was a good time to remove the trans from the engine, and get the new engine case unpacked (again). Now there is room to walk thru the garage again.

Boy everything sure looks nice and clean! How many miles on this engine? If I followed along correctly, this engine is just fine but you want to put a new one it with better heads and a new case etc to more or less make it as perfect as you can? Where did you find the new case?
I'll enjoy this thread as I know you will do everything with no expense spared and a high standard of workmanship. Nice to see some progress on it. Very Happy

The heads are rebuilt heads done by RIMCO in 2008 before they changed owners. The new heads are HAM AMC heads. The case came from a 92 year old man in Germany who builds T4 VW aircraft engines. He also has new VW heads but I think they are 1800 heads set up as 2.0. I figure that with a new case and heads we can take it anywhere in North America without worrying about engine problems from fatigue. This engine only has about 2500 miles on it. There is wear on the case when it was rebuilt although nothing more than any other case of its age. If I could find a NOS crank at a reasonable price I'd probably just build a whole new short block. The guy in Germany is unreliable and although he probably has a new crankshaft too I no longer trust him. His packaging is awful and customer service zero - it's age related I am sure. If I lived in Germany where I could pick things up in person then I'd have no problem buying from him again.

the old one back but I will fix it. Post Office still owes me $258 for losing it on the way back to Germany for 2 months. They apparently never delivered it to the guy and then he took off for a month's vacation. One of the folks on the forum in Holland (1970fun) as well as Sven and Emma helped me figure that one out. But today as soon as the HVAC guys today were 99.9% done one of them stepped thru the ceiling - now I have drywall people coming for bids tomorrow. Retirement seems more work than work was............ .

Too bad I’m not in NorCal. I’d trade out drywall repair for getting my engine running properly.

and I would gladly accept. The folks who removed the cottage cheese ceiling and put on knockdown in 2014 or so will be here at noon for a bid, and another fellow the HVAC friend is sending will be here at 10. Just a shame that the HVAC guy's profits will get eaten up in this repair. But, it was his guy who stepped thru.

Barleben is where his shop is. My understanding he leaves in the winter and travels a lot in the summer. His wife passed away last year. He is 92. This fellow seems to have cases, cranks, carbs, cams, pistons and cylinder liners. He builds T4 aircraft engines. I actually thought about taking a trip there in summer, and making an offer on a whole bunch of parts, having a broker package, ship and insure them.

here is the new case cleaned up of the Cosemoline. The problem is that he didn't package things well and he doesn't respond well to customer service queries at age 92. God forbid all this stuff end up in a landfill when he is gone.

Moving to rebuild engine and replace heads. I don't have to split the case but I may split the case to replace it with the new one. Haven't decided yet. New case is ready to go. One question is always, "Do I have a cam gear that a new case will need to get the lash right... ."

May 11, 2020 Put the engine up on engine stand. Pulled clutch and flywheel. Expected the case to be wet around main seal but it wasn't. That said, always check end play before disassembly. Holding at .004". Everything has already been marked for assembly to keep balance correct so no need to mark again. Otherwise mark everything. Use engine lift to put on stand and block front to help reduce weight on flanges until some items removed.

Flywheel lock - had this since my 1971 bay. It's like 45 - 50 years old now. Best style out there. Just think - I was married and a young man in my mid 20's when I bought this. (same on the run out gauge too).

Lifting engine to stand. Using a hydraulic lift, HF brand. Works well. Had to add a piece of steel tubing between frame and wheel so engine stand will roll under it. Put yoke on before lifting then slide into engine stand.

Still looks good!

Are you going to be upgrading to gee bee hoses on this rebuild or are you going for as close to stock as possible?

When do we get to see pics of your new exhaust setup:D

And everything is very clean. Has to be the 'freshest' looking rebuild candidate I've seen in a long time.

Thanks for the comments. It has lost its shine but it is still a nice engine. Gee they are small engines for such a large car. As you go thru the photos you will see a alternator bracket that is broken. I suspect this happened early after the last build. I had taken the fan apart 12 years ago to paint it (a no-no) and the belt hopped causing quite a bit of vibration. Mark was kind enough to center it for me. I think he put in about 12 - 14 hours on a lathe spinning it and trying to get it back to center. Now the belt runs very true but my guess is that it was during the period it hopped a lot that the bracket vibrated itself to death.

Oh that. It was used by VW to time the engine. It picks up a spot in the flywheel and tells the no longer available VW computer systems where TDC is. There have been many discussions of the possibility of using it for an on board timing system but no one has invented a layman's circuit for us to use.
