Any Type IV engine enthusiast considering doing any kind of work on their motor just has to check out this VHS Video! Renowned Type 4 engine specialist Jake Raby takes us into the popular "Raby's Aircooled Technology" shop for this volume. This was such an event that when VW Trends magazine heard that Bug Me Video was working with Jake to shoot a video they turned up too just to take notes and photos for future how-to features!

This VHS Video covers everything there is to know about tearing down, inspecting, and rebuilding a Type IV engine in an easy to follow, step-by-step format. You are guided through the complete teardown with Jake pointing out the location of those hard to find nuts and bolts. Jake makes the job easy putting each procedure in a well-paced sequence. During reassembly the many differences between the Type IV and Type I engines are identified attention is focussed to details that can be and are easily overlooked. Emphasis is given to the need for cleanliness and proper torque settings throughout.

This VHS Video removes the mystery and myth which tends to follow the Type IV so that you will have the knowledge and confidence required to undertake a complete rebuild of your 1972 or later air-cooled bus or 914 Porsche motor.
