Side note, anybody have some advice on how to get the flywheel off the crank? 
Gland nut is out and it's on there tight

Kirin,

Yes, near as I can tell, metal flecks in the oil?

Looks like the piston/cylinder seal was breached and metal particles were 
in the oil in the sump.

If you haven't thrown away the filter, open it up and see what it caught.

Bigger chunks in the filter screen?  Take a look at your gears in the oil 
pump for sure.

The first oil change will have a metallic goo on the sump Darin plate due to 
the new bearings first layer of soft lead that wears off in initial break in.  
Also the rings break in to the cylinder walls and the cam beds into the 
lifters.   This all creates a lot of fine metallic swarf in the oil.

Oil was totally metal colored. Sump screen was actually pretty clean, there
was a fair bit of goo on the sump plate and some material on the magnetic
oil plug. Oil pump actually looks really good. Heres some more photos of
the bearings and I'm reasonably sure that the pitting on one of the lifters
means they should be replaced.

Kirin,

Yes, near as I can tell, metal flecks in the oil?

Looks like the piston/cylinder seal was breached and metal particles were 
in the oil in the sump.


If you haven't thrown away the filter, open it up and see what it caught.

Bigger chunks in the filter screen?  Take a look at your gears in the oil 
pump for sure.


Cheers, dave

  I don't think I would be worried about the oil cooler or passage ways

  I just can't think of any way that you would have metal bits in your oil

The damage doesn’t look too bad overall.   Something got into both cylinders?   
Can you tell what it was?   Very black soot, running rich as a bitch.

Re: [vintagvw] The rebuild begins

2019-02-09 Thread Dave C. Bolen

Kirin,

When you say the oil looked terrible, what do you mean?...just from 
sitting?...condensation?


If the ring lands of cylinder #3 look good and the cross hatching is still 
there with no flaws, you should not have any metal parts from the head 
or piston in your oil.


I don't think I would be worried about the oil cooler or passage ways 
since you have an oil filter, right?


I just can't think of any way that you would have metal bits in your oil
unless the piston had an actual hole in it...

Did I miss something?

Cheers, dave

Thus far from what I can see the bearings look good. The oil that came out of

thinking its wise to check for clearances on the bearings even though they look 
good. I'm debating picking up a new set of lifters since there is some
pitting.

Probably time for a big photo dump so you can see the damage

Happy Friday and I'm sure there will be more questions coming form me in the 
near future.

That’s where it sticks and collects.   The sump plate and in the passages.

If you find lots of metal inside your case, you’ll need to remove the oil 
galley plugs to get a proper thorough cleaning.  There are some dead ends that 
can collect metal particles that could later loosen under heat and pressure and 
go directly into the bearings.   BTDT.  Not worth having  to do the job all 
over again.

[vintagvw] The rebuild begins

2019-02-08 Thread Kirin Jacobsen
Hey all,
Finally I'm digging into fixing my "New" but wounded 1914. It's mostly torn
apart but its time to start cleaning it. Its been full flowed, was a new
case with new everything with under 1000 miles on it when it had foreign
object damage and bashed up cylinder 3 and its cylinder head.

Thus far from what I can see the bearings look good. The oil that came out
of it after the damage looked terrible. All the pistons and cylinders still
had their cross hatching on it. Cylinder 3 has some where at the top of it
but all the ring lands are intact but they piston top is obviously bashed
up. Right now my plan of attack is clean the snot out of the block. Most
likely I think I should replace my oil cooler. Will flush out all the oil
passage ways. I'm thinking its wise to check for clearances on the bearings
even though they look good. I'm debating picking up a new set of lifters
since there is some pitting.

Probably time for a big photo dump so you can see the damage

Happy Friday and I'm sure there will be more questions coming form me in
the near future.
