I appreciate the video. I had a clip break while  riding in the smoky Mts. Just so happens a man offered me a ride to a local VW guy. I ordered a solid shaft as soon as I got back to my motel. I am a fan of all your videos.

Hey Darrin
Thanks, you can count me in .. as one of those guys that really appreciates it all.
And I do like the long version of showing everything, without the fast-forwarding editing.
As, while it is repetitive, your sharing tons of collateral learning and knowledge.
That kind of teaching is like pure gold !
Thanks from Canada

And I was going to reuse the spring washers. Thanks for all the tips!

hey, darrin, I'm "that guy" who likes to watch vids like this. thanks.

I'm here, I'm watchin', I'm learnin'!!!!  

Yes, thank you for taking the time and making these videos. Iam fixing to build my first set of Solid shaft rockers. Thanks again.🤘😁

Everything should watch this to see what is involved building a motor who want you to throw it together.  Thank for the great information.

Thanks for going into detail on the solid rocker build, I never did it before and after your help I think I can do it. Thanks again

What 'hurts me' the most is seeing all the sweat... I moved (from sweaty Dallas) to the dessert mountains where I never sweat. I also marvel at all the rain in some of yalls vids! We get 18 inches a year. Most of it in July. I have a '73 Chevy truck, 454 and 2 69 bugs w/ no rust! Both stored outside for ever. But at 6000 feet or sunshine is devastating! Thanx for all your vids. Better than most.

great video buddy dont be so hard on yourself   its cool learning vw tricks from the master

Daaamg. This is from ten years ago! Wow. Well this helped me out a lot. I have problems with one of my rocker arm assemblies fitting too tight and I think it’s the studs. Probably needs to be deburred. Also I never knew about the shims, so it could be that also.  Already took off assembly so will disassemble and check the blocks then check the spacers. Thanks so much Darren!

It's not boring your vids are great darrin thanks for the help

Hey Darrin,

I watched the part of how to open the packages 3 times, I think I'm ready to unpack some stuff now LOL.

Great video as usual, thanks for sharin another chapter in your knowledge base !!

doug

i learned something from your video... yet again. thanks for taking the time to share.

Darin you rock. Thank you so much for your vids

Darrin, You keep making the videos and I will keep watching.  I've watch just about everyone you have made and some of them more than once.

AWESOME!!!  Thanks for taking the time to hit record on that one.  I learned a lot.

Good lesson for shimming any rotating assembly!

That was very educational.
I like the attention to detail,thanks for the video.

Thx Darrin, i have rebuilt a type 4. It was my first VW engine rebuild. Didn't know anything like this, you have shown me why my engine was not very quite.  I'm that  one that really needed to know this set up info, again thx keep it up.
