greetings everyone,

as a long time contributing member of vwvortex.com and other enthusiast web forums, i know how extremely beneficial visual "how-to's" can be. This series of contributions was one of many i provided to the community in the past and i vowed to keep it a free resource on YouTube for the first 100,000 views. In its five years of broadcast, this series of videos has received countless praise from users, a 99% thumb-up rating, and of course, the occasional hater who's never held a wrench.

Mind you, i would consider this a difficult project for someone who's never changed their own oil...but anyone with a decent amount of mechanical ability, and good set of tools can handle an engine build. I've always encouraged those willing to learn, to expand their horizons further, to tackle projects they would've never even considered the first time they opened a hood, and most importantly to realize that the most rewarding experience in vehicle ownership is taking the pride in saying "i did that myself"...hands down!

You could pay a shop a couple thousand dollars to handle such a project, and you could assume they MIGHT have done a thorough job, but i can personally guarantee that you'll never have one ounce of that gratification... knowing that your hands, your mind, and your sweat.... went into YOUR WORK. The amount of education you'll receive in this series, will go far beyond any "how-to" write-up...as you'll be able to see the tools at work, listen to my suggestions, and analyse the techniques i apply from beginning to end.

techniques demonstated:
-parts and tools overview
-piston removal
-piston disssembly
-cylinder deglazing (honing)
-ring gapping
-ring gauging
-ring setting
-rod axial gauging
-plastigauging
-clearance testing
-piston reassembly
-piston installtion
-block and head prep
-head installion
-timing belt installion
-oiling
-break-in information
and more...

I will show you that none of this is too difficult and walk you through every step of the process. Utilize this resource to any extent, be it a bottom-up engine build, or simply enlightenment... the only priceless commodity in this world is education.

Good luck with your projects and happy tuning!
