harley did a lot of flow work on their heads, and they came up with. by polishing the head ,the gas molecules stick to the surface, by bead blasting, to a semi rough surface, the gas molecules would tumble and get more gas to the cylinder

People are still watching these and you're still helping people with this stuff 13 years later!

ezgz I want to say thank you for all your videos. I have been waiting 30 years to just start to enjoy our favorite little car. I have loved these cars since I was 12 now 43. Never had time or resources to fix every piece on our beetles. Im disabled and have 6 herniated disks and now on social security. Thanks to yourself and YouTube I am not intimidated anymore to not only work on vws but also start making videos. I seen you tear up a little in the video. I am experiencing the same thing as we speak. Great people like yourself and Darrin lives about 2 hours away from me. Thanks for all the videos. Im wanting to learn and give back to others just like you have. like a pay it forward. thank you again, John

I broke a spring  and you had a video  where you mentioned changing once out at the desert  so I'm going to change one on mind thanks to your knowledge

I love that you're a Berg fan... I'm working on my 90% Berg engine right now and watching videos to refresh my memory because the bug has been setting for 17 years... gonna make it my daily driver again.  Thanks for your help.  edit Wow! when I first commented I didn't know you were gonna break out the valve boss cutter that I need to get to install my Berg dual springs in new heads... you made my day/month!  I feel much more comfortable buying and using the tool now.  The part is the GB 706 valve guide boss cutter.

Most of people do that flat favor for our heads....I´ve seen a lot of heads with the brass guide exposed....as you said,  they been told that way they can brake the sound barrier......thanks for sharing !!!

Cool old school stuff ,you probably had those since I was a kid

Thanks for the cool video. Also thanks for being man enough to show your emotions like a real person. I too am a pack rat, a yard full of VW's tractors and Gravelys with a garage that has tiny paths between all the Good stuff I love, probably 1/2 old VW stuff. Thanks for the good tips! If youre ever in western NY, stop on in.

Good to be here too.

great videos, I learnt so much from them. keep rolling more out.
many thanks,

Hi EZGZ, Great tips! I know I'm a little late here. I like learning tricks from some body that's been doing it for a while. 1 tip for you, when changing a valve spring when the head is on the engine and you don't have any compressed air put the piston close to TDC on that cylinder then take about a 2 foot long piece of rope and put it in the spark plug hole as much as you can, make sure you leave enough rope outside the cylinder to pull the rope back out, then turn the engine by hand til it stops witch shouldn't be very much. That will tighten the rope against the valve so it won't drop when you take off the spring.

Thank you so much for your video you have been a great help to me in my rebuild 👍

great series your doing for us

Thanks for sharing.  I am really learning a lot!  

Thanks again,  I like all tips you give.

Great stuff GZ.  We've all gotten choked up about the YTGG.  It's amazing what they will do to help a brother out.

I bolt the manifold to the head before the head is assembled and before it is installed on the engine so I can get an exact match to the port then scribe the shape to the manifold.

glad to be along with you

Good Idea. Every little bit helps.

Thanks for your support
