Engine overhaul - video 08 ignition time of cylinder 1 In this video we will determine the ignition timing of cylinder 1. This mark will be needed to correctly position the distributor drive shaft during assembly, as well as for ignition advance adjustment once the Type 1 Volkswagen engine is rebuilt.
measuring electric current To measure current, you must interrupt the circuit through which the current flows. The ammeter must be connected in series. Therefore, that a current clamp is a better solution. This type of ammeter does not affect the circuit to be measured, it measures the magnetic field around the conductor (induction principle, see edition 26).
checking the Dwell angle There are several devices available to dynamically measure the Dwell Angle. These are usually combined devices that measure battery voltage, Dwell Angle and advance. Others can also be used to measure the CO content of exhaust gases.
measuring the coil Everyone knows that the capacitor will protect the contact points from burn-in. But what few people know is that the capacitor also plays a very important role in transforming the low voltage of the battery (6V or 12V) into a high voltage (more than 10,000V) needed to create a spark between the electrodes of the spark plug.
finding the top dead center What does Top Dead Center (TDC) actually mean? If you study the theory of the operation of an internal combustion engine - or the "petrol engine" - it will become clear. Without going into too much detail about the theory, we have to talk about the otto cycle, better known as the four stroke cycle.
the distributor The intention is that we can adjust the ignition of our classic Volkswagen ourselves. First you have to know which parts have an influence on the operation of the ignition and you have to understand how the ignition circuit works, this is very important to be able to make a good diagnosis and to be able to adjust the ignition later on.
(dis)assembly of the spark plugs It seems like a simple job, replacing or checking the spark plugs of your VW. Yet we see that it is not always done according to the rules. Spark plugs that are not properly assembled or have been disassembled carelessly can cause a lot of problems with the engine.
Engine overhaul - video 12 the flywheel In this video, we'll explain how to disassemble and assemble the flywheel, and what tools you'll need to do so. To disassemble the flywheel, you will need to unscrew the gland nut. This nut is attached with a torque of 350 Nm, it will require some force to loosen.
ignition timing - static In air-cooled Volkswagens from August 1970, the notch in the crankshaft pulley is used to dynamically adjust the ignition timing. The static adjustment with the test lamp is then only suitable for temporary adjustment on younger models.
ignition timing - dynamic In this edition, we will adjust the ignition with the engine running, this is called a dynamic measurement. VW advises in its workshop manuals this way of adjusting all air-cooled VWs from August 1970 onwards. The static adjustment with a test bulb is then only suitable for a temporary engine adjustment on these young Volkswagens.
