JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - 1800cc Engine Break In - First Start

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/

Our 1800cc stroker engine will be started, but first we need to fill it with oil and get the oil throughout the engine and make sure it has oil pressure. Our tech shows you how to unload all the internals so the engine can build oil pressure safely. Then we’ll drop a fuel line in a can and get our engine fired up, set the timing and run it for 15 minutes to get the camshaft and lifters worn in. It can be a tense few moments hoping that everything holds together on a newly built engine but we and the engine make it through! If you have any questions or comments, let us know below and of course, if you like our video, give it a thumbs up!
