I stared cleaning the pistons and cylinder to be ready to get them installed. I also started cleaning the heads to bolt everything together. I cleaned the 3/4 side head and found a crack from the spark plug hole to the valve. This is not good. I then inspected the other head and found cracks also from the spark plug to the valve on both sides. This make these heads trash.<br />
<br />
I have another set of stock heads in my storage. I inspected these and found they do not have cracks. However, they are stock. The heads I was going to use have bigger valves and have had porting to breath better. I will have the stock heads worked on by Audirac and have him install bigger valves and do some porting. Unfortunately, I don't have money at this time to do these things. Therefore, everything stops now on the bus engine. Just when I was gaining some momentum. <br />
<br />
However, I do have two interviews this week that look promising for once. I have some interviews in the recent past but did not materialize into a job. One of the interviews will be my second with the particular company. I am sure it will narrow a field of a half a dozen or more candidates to a couple or three. I am hoping to get into the group of 2 or 3. The other also looks promising as I will be meeting with the owner face to face. We have been talking for the past couple of weeks. Either job will be a good one, I just hope that at least one makes an offer. It would make a great Christmas present.<br />
<br />
Well that's all for now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and your families.<br />

My bus has been down for about 4 years now and I am itching to get it going again. There is a lot of work to be done. I need to put together the engine, restore the gas tank, replace all fuel lines and make sure the brakes are in working order. Most of this stuff is going to cost dollars which I do not have right now due to my job situation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have most of the engine parts already and have procrastinated at putting it together. I finally got started at putting the engine together. At least the short block is done. I closed the case this past weekend. I am getting the pistons and cylinders ready to install along with the heads. After that I will need to start spending money on valve train parts so things will slow down until I get a job. But I feel good that this has started.</div>

The distributor is a 019 with a pertronix ignitor inside. I don't want to mess with points and condenser. I also have a beefed up generator stand. I have broke one in the past. This one is pretty bullet proof. I also have 30mm oil pump due to the remote oil filter and cooler that needs to pumped. The berg cover has a pressure relief just in case of too much oil pressure.</div>

This case has been strengthened by welding behind the #3 cylinder and shuffle pins. I had this done a few years ago. The case was a type 3 case converted to a type 2 case. I had to add the bolt for mounting, dipstick and open the mount holes for the stock oil cooler. I also tapped all the oil galley plugs. Hopefully this case will be solid.</div>

You may notice to the right below the distributor, there are two ports that are duct taped over. These ports were also added when the case was strengthened. This is a full flow modification that my machinist added which I have used in other cases. I like the mod.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The levers that move the flaps that are inside the intake of my Egg were sticking causing sluggish acceleration. Recently was getting some really bad gas mileage also so I am hoping that this is the culprit. I found a <a href="http://forums.quattroworld.com/a8/msgs/44689.phtml" target="_blank">site</a> online that helped me get through the process of freeing them up. As you can see in the pictures below, I have the upgraded rods that connect the vacuum actuator to the lever. Also the lower actuator is not completely pushed out in these pictures because it is damaged and I had to replace it. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, the top lever was sticking to the point that It would not return completely to the position you see in the top picture. This is the way it should look when the engine is off. At idle, both vacuum actuators will be completely sucked in actuating the levers to the full open position. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The site I identified above states pretty much what to do so I will not go into the details of what I did. But I only worked on the top lever as the other lever was moving freely. Once I removed the lever and its holder, I used some multipurpose grease on the plastic shaft and the id of the housing. Installed it back together and the lever was moving freely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After my test drive, I will see if this will help my gas mileage problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On an other note, those vacuum actuators wear out by getting a slit in them or some other type of vacuum leak. And that is what it becomes, a vacuum leak not to mention that your flaps will not will not work either due to no actuating. I found them on a Land Rover site for significantly cheaper than vw. Vw wanted several hundred dollars for each and there are no aftermarket that I could find. The Land Rover site wanted about $90 or so each. They are the exact same thing for the Land Rover except for a spring that is inside the bellow. I have found that the spring does not change the actuating action enough to change the performance of the Egg and I have been using the Land Rover parts for more than 50K miles now. The Land Rover used these for cruise control I believe. </div>

I have read that these tires need to be broken in on the street. It is true as they are a little sketchy on the street when I test road the bike. I have road about 100 miles on the street and they seem to mellow out now. Now to get them on the dirt.</div>

My transmission has not been changing gears very well for the past year or so. Hard shifts mostly. After reading what might be causing the problem, I went through with ordering a valve body from Revmax. I felt comfortable with it based on the feedback that I read. I received the valve body and needed to keep the box and packaging so I could send mine back get my core charge. I don't have pictures as I deleted them accidentally. It was not that bad of job to do and if you confident in your mechanical skills, you should be able to do it. There is plenty of help on the internet to assist you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I completed replacing my valve body in my transmission and was testing it when I heard some disturbing noises (load clacking) coming from the engine. It seemed to be coming from the top of the engine under the valve cover. I was not really sure what it was so I started the process of removing my valve cover and found the pad for the cam chain tensioner broke apart. After a little research, I found that VW did not sell the pads individually. I had to buy the whole tensioner at a price of about $700 each and there are two (one each bank). I figured that the other side was not far from wearing out. So to the internet I went and found pads for about $25 a pair (two per tensioner) on eBay. I took a chance and bought two pair along with valve cover gasket kit to start this job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is not meant to be a how to do this job. It is just my experience of doing this. I do not have the time to take pictures all the way through these processes.</div>

I am going to try and keep up the blog as I have more time on my hands right now. I have resigned from my job due to a choice that I was given by my boss. The choice was to be fired or resign. I choose to resign. I was not happy about it as I don't have another job lined up. I have been unemployed for more than 5 weeks now. I worked for this company for almost 11 years and had a descent salary that will be hard to replace. So I will be working on my blog for what I have a passion for such as my automotive projects, camping adventures and anything that my wife and I set out to do.<br />
<br />
Another change is that I have moved out of my shop that I have been leasing for the past 3 years. I moved out at the end of Dec. of 2014. I had to move because of the cost to continue to keep it. We have two kids in college and one more that made me a grand parent. Not that I am complaining. It is just reality. I moved all of my tools into our garage where we park our two everyday drivers. Therefore it is a very full garage. <br />

Well, I went to get a Dessert Pass to go riding in the dunes with my quad a couple of weeks ago at the local motorcycle shop. It was a Saturday and I had time so I to a look around. The sales person came up to me and asked if I had any questions. I told him that I was just looking at the dual sport motorcycles. So he showed me some and they were not as expensive as I thought. I had not done any research as of yet. Long story short, I ended up buying this and it has been a whole lot of fun. Excellent gas milage if I want to take it to work on a nice day or just cruise around the local trails.</div>

Jessieca and I were married back in August of this year. For our honeymoon, we took a road trip from San Diego to San Francisco and back. We started off by camping the first night just above Malibu on the beach at a camp ground called Leo Carrillo. The camp ground was crowded for a Wednesday night. Also everyone seemed to want to pass through our camp site to go to the restrooms. Not cool. </div>

The next day we headed to Pismo Beach where we stayed in a hotel to get a shower after a night of camping. Below are some shots of where we stayed and the surrounding area.</div>

We were in San Francisco for 3 days. Once we left San Francisco, we headed back to San Diego but stopped just north of Santa Barbara for one more night of camping a El Capitan campground on the beach. This was a very nice campground with not too many people. No pictures unfortunately. </div>

Before leaving for our road trip. I needed to replace this fan. Over the last few months, my AC has been making a funny noise where the fan seemed to be slowing to a stop and I would get no cold air. If I turned down the speed of fan, it would at least run and give cold air. Since we were going on an extended road trip, I wanted to make sure that the AC worked well. Here is the fan removed with the new replacement on the right. I bought the replacement from Rockauto for much less than the dealer but it is the same fan.</div>

We will be married today on the Emerald (yacht) in San Diego Bay. We will be taking a road trip to San Francisco. We will take the Egg. We wanted to go in the bus but it is not ready yet. So the Egg will be packed for camping and hotel stays. <br />
<br />
We will start by leaving on Wednesday next week. First stop will be in a Malibu beach campground for a night. Then to Pismo Beach. We will stay in a hotel there to get a shower. Then we are off to Big Sur for some camping in the Big Basin state park with the giant red woods for a night. After that, we are in San Francisco for three nights. Then back home with a stop at a Santa Barbara beach campground. Hopefully there will be many photo opportunities. We are excited about the trip and hope all goes well. I may blog while on the trip, but we may be having too much fun to stop and type. So I will at least update when we get back. <br />
<br />

I added a few things to my shop this past weekend. I hung my dart board in one of the two offices. This is the front office (considered the lobby of the unit) where I set up my work out equipment. The throw line for the dart board is right at the doorway from the lobby to the warehouse portion of the unit. Here is a picture of the dart board hung in the "work out room".</div>

I have been have a screeching noise coming from the engine compartment in the recent couple of weeks. I figured that the noise was due to some pulley or tensioner for the drive belt (serpentine). I was hoping that it would die a slow death but it started to die sooner than I hoped. You can see the bearing is coming apart.</div>

VW says to use a special pin tool to hold the tensioner in a compressed position, however you only need a bolt. The bolt must fit through hole of the hex molded into the body of the spring while turning it clockwise with a wrench to fit the bolt or pin into that is molded in the body to the right of the hex. You can see this in this picture.</div>

To remove the tensioner from the engine, it is easier from the bottom. At least it was for me. Also you can see that there is a hex socket bolt that it is mounted with to the engine. Just the one bolt holds it. </div>

Here is the new part compared to the old. I bought Gates brand for both parts. The tensioner was made in Germany but the belt was made in the USA. The interesting thing is the new tensioner is the exact same part and brand (Gates must repackage) as the old stock one. Anyway, you can see below where the dust cover for the bearing on the old tensioner is completely missing. I don't know where or when it fell off. </div>

These codes mean that there is vacuum leak somewhere in the intake system. I checked all of the hoses and found nothing. Eventually more codes came up which were the other bank now. I kept hearing an air noise towards the back of the engine. The crankcase ventilation valve (ccv valve) sits just under the "VW" sign on the center engine plastic cover. There is vent hole on the top of the ccv valve which was sucking a lot of air. My research found that this should not be so I removed and disassembled it. After disassembly, I found that the diaphragm was torn. This was my vacuum leak. I replaced the ccv valve and then cleared the code and it stayed gone. Here are some pictures of the old ccv valve disassembled.</div>

To remove and install the ccv valve, remove the two tubes that are connected to the two ports you see below. I threw away the hose clamps that were stock and replaced them with worm screw type. Works just fine.</div>

So my Touareg has been getting all the attention lately. Mostly because it is running and my bus is not. However, I now realize that my bus has not run now for about two years. Probably the longest it has been down at one time. I will be working on my bus soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Touareg has a few miles on it. A little over 120k miles so far. I have not changed my drive shaft yet but plenty other things have malfunctioned or wore out. Now, I have replaced every lift support on the Egg. I also replaced the shock for the e-brake. What I have learned in the last escapade was that I don't like working on interiors of cars. Especially newer cars. It takes a lot of patience to do.</div>

Well I changed my worn out shocks (lift supports) for the back hatch of the Egg. My glass had not worked in a few years. I would have to hold it up. It was reasonable heavy. In the past few months, my back hatch now will not stay up and I have been using a shower curtain rod to hold it up.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Changing the lift supports is not that easy to do. They are located between the headliner and the roof in their own little compartments. There are four in all. Two for the window and all four for the hatch. I had to remove the rear headliner piece first which basically pulls straight down. Use the interior tools if you have them to pull on the fasteners rather than them pulling out as they make break. But not always. I then removed the two rear pillar covers and the two rear seat posts (with seat belts on them). I set the rear seat pillar cover as pictured below.</div>

Once the pillar covers were off, I then could start removing the headliner from the rear. There are two clips holding the headliner up that are shaped like an arrow where the pointed part inserts into the roof metal. You can use a screwdriver to push it towards to the center while pulling down on the headliner. It should just pop out and down. There are two hooks above the rear most side windows that have screws in them that must be removed. Then I removed the handles above each rear door by opening the little doors to expose the screws. Once these are removed, the headliner will sag down so be careful as it may crease. </div>

Once the supports are removed installing is the opposite process. Take your time and look at things closely when doing this so you don't break things. I probably saved over $500 doing this myself as the dealer would get at least $100 per hour plus parts. My manual states that this job would take about 5 hours. However, mine is done now and both the back glass and hatch work great.</div>

I have recently obtained a new tool with another on the way. The one I have received is a 12 ton press. Not the best in the world but better that what I had, nothing. This will work for installing the cam and distributor gears to the crank. It should help with many other tasks around the shop also. </div>

I have also order this air compressor below. It is an Ingersoll Rand brand. Air compressors seem to range a wide array of quality. It is a hit or miss with most air compressors. I have a Husky from Home Depot and the tank started leaking. I am not a good enough welder to fix it and probably could get it welded but I am afraid that the motor or the pump could be next. It is only a few years old. From what read, the oil less motors do not last that long (approx. 400 to 500 hours of service). The unit that I recently purchased is a cast iron pump that requires oil and a break in period. My old compressor has a 32 gal tank where this one has only 20 gal tank. The old has what appears 9.9 scfm and the new only has about 5.5. However all the reviews (many more than any other brand) for the new compressor state it will not break down and runs all of their impact wrenches, ratchets and grinders. I realize that it will not run them continuously but should run them for what I need. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I have my workshop, it has been easy to work on my cars. There is a lot of room to move around. I have no worries of anyone having issues with me making noise or fumes or anything that goes with working on cars of any kind. With that I put my Touareg on jack stands to check the brakes. I have had the "check the brake pads" message on my dash for some time now. So I wanted to check them to see which is the culprit for the message. So here is the Egg up on the jack stands.</div>

After inspecting the brakes at all corners, I determined that the rear driver side was the brake that was causing the message. I found the wire broken on the inside pad. The outside was not broken but starting to wear through the insulation of the wire. You can see the exposed wire of the outside pad sensor in the picture below.</div>

Once I reconnected the broken wire from the inside pad, the message did not return. I am assuming that grounding the wire does not prompt the message but an open circuit does. Anyway, since the outside pad sensor was wearing through the insulation and it was a matter of a little time before it would trip the worn pad warning message, I did not reinstall the sensor. You can see that I zip tied it to the brake line to keep it out of the way.</div>

There is still plenty of pad left on that side even though it tripped the sensor. Also the rear brakes wear slower than the front. I also have new rear brakes already in the shop. So I will wait until the brakes are all the way worn out then replace to maximize the money.</div>

I finally did it. I leased a space to do work on my bus and Egg. Or anything else for that matter. The work area is just under 1200 sf. There is some office space also that is handy for taking breaks. Anyway, here is how it looks without too much stuff in it so far. I will be moving my things in over this month (November).</div>

However, it is always fun to go. We got to the camp site around 1:30pm Friday afternoon. It was about 93 degrees during the day and cooled to the low 60s on Friday night. Saturday was the same except when night rolled around. Sleeping with only shorts on the night before, I decided to the same on Saturday night. While sleeping, I felt a chill which woke me up and I was very cold. I checked the temp and found it to be 51 degrees. A bit too cold to sleep with only a sheet. At least for us southern california types.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I do have a little over 109,000 miles on it. So I guess some things are going to wear out. This is all keeping me from getting any time to work on my bus engine so I can get it back on the road and give the Egg a break. The bus has not been on the road in over a year now and that is not good. But I must keep working which means I have to keep at least one vehicle working.<br />
<br />
This air bag lamp in the center of the dash keeps flickering and seems to cause an air bag fault that alarms on my dash. If I knock on the lamp itself, the lamp will illuminate and the fault will clear. However, it will come back soon after that. I have finally purchased a new lamp and have installed it. It is easy with the appropriate tools as seen below. It took me about 5 minutes to replace this item.<br />

Adrian did a lot of work on this case to bring it back to life. This is a used case that I bought for $200 on the Samba. It is a 1970 type 3 case.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see below, Adrian added ports for a full flow system. This is better for my application because this case is going into my 1971 bus with the rear hanger. Full flow oil pump covers usually interfere with the hanger with exception of the berg cover. Also, most places will drill into the rear facing oil galley for the return which would require a 90 degree fitting. That fitting would interfere with the pulley tin and therefore would require some clearancing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was a drizzly day. Not good for a car show. Everyone was wiping down their cars due to the light drizzle all day. We don't get very much rain here in SD so even when it comes at an inopportune time, we will take it. Anyway, no rain while Jess and I were there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We hung out for about an hour or so. It was a nice show and of course we had a good time. I don't know of any other shows in the near future. I will have to do some research. Until then, I will be posting about my case that I got back from Headflow Masters this past week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
