The valve angle on a Volkswagen air-cooled Beetle (bug) is typically 45 degrees. This angle refers to the relationship between the valve seats and the cylinder head. It is a key factor in the engine's breathing efficiency and performance characteristics. Variations may exist in different engine models, but 45 degrees is standard for most Beetles.
No. Old vw beetles are aircooled.
look at the sambas website it has lots of goodies for classic vw
You need two gauges: a .006" "go" gauge and a .008" "no go" gauge. When the valve is adjusted correctly, the .006 will go in and the .008 will not.
For an aircooled VW Beetle, use Castrol GTX2. It has the right viscosity.
Roughly 250 - 260 pounds dressed.
No. No aircooled VW has a limited-slip differential.
The watercooled ones are made at VW's Mexico factory. The aircooled ones were made all over the world but are not made anymore.
Pull it, clean the case and send it to a transmission rebuilder that has successfully rebuilt aircooled VW transmissions before. As John Muir said in his "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive," you have to be in practice and he didn't want to practice that much, and it takes tools you would never dream of owning.
The firing order, or "zundfolge," of your engine is 1 - 4 - 3 - 2.
yes
1-4-3-2. All aircooled 4-cyl VW engines used the same firing order
If the 71 is a standard then yes it will fit.
