How to Rebuild VW Air-Cooled Engines 1961-2003

Fabulous book to take a novice through rebuilding one of these engines, good pictures notes, tips, best book I have found on the subject. I have methodically followed the steps through tear down , clean inspect and am just about to build up and its been spot on!

Detallado manual, recomendable.

I found this guide easy to read and follow along. Much better color pics than some older manuals. While I like that it referred to many current parts (with their part#s) available to engine builders today, unlike older manuals that often refer to parts (stock or aftermarket) that used to be plentiful but today are harder to find. But many of the parts were Empi brand parts which are not always the highest quality. This means the end result may not be the highest quality. One such example is the engine tin which looks brand new but may not fit together or fit the engine compartment well. While the process was not "by the book" in some cases (eg. distributor install) the intructions were easier to follow. Unlike some other build manuals, this one focused on the build and not on compatible parts or considerations outside the build itself. A good book to add to your shelf if you maintain ACVW engines.

Excellent photography and instructions on how to strip and rebuild a VW motor with side info. The best on this topic I have read.

This has to be best VW air-cooled engine rebuilding book there is. It has tons of color photos of how to perform most of the tasks, and its well written. I have a few VW engine rebuilding books, and this one is the best one that I have read!

Detailed description with plenty photos. Great guide.
