It's new video sunday. Part 3 of my 2056 engine rebuild. Some of it didn't go as planned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).
Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0f2Yt5L2CU |

Ian, I had the same many years ago assembling a beetle case.
Got stuck while tightening the case bolts. I did not try it half way like you did, so after the torqueing I was looking very proud what I had achieved only to find up it was locked up, just like you have. I split the case and found a bearing that moved and the dowelpin pressed itself in the bearing while tightening the bolts. Really, it pressed a new dowelhole in there. So...I got a new bearing and redid it. Same thing...but now I found out while tightening....but already too late, another bearing unusable, again the bearing seemed to have moved away from the dowelpin. I ordered another one, and now in the correct size (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Measuring is so important (besides cleaning) since the tolerances are critical. Good luck with the build, it is super great to see you building this engine. |
