If it works ok why worry about it till you feel its time and everything else is sorted
Thanks Bowling…Bike looks great.
Nothing gets by you guys. Lol. 36hp from my ‘57. Slow process. Tough to get parts.I spy...
with my little eye...
VW jugs and a head.
Ahem.... sometimes it'll take a hundred miles or thereabouts for the oil to quit weeping after a retorque. Don't get discouraged if it still leaks for a bit.
I’d be amazed if mine will do 75. I’m hoping for 60 lol.I had a '59 bug with it's 36 HP engine back in my HS days,(some decades back). 75mph top speed. I had the shortblock rebuilt and I assembled the rest of the engine and installed it myself. Wish I still had that bug.
I had a '71 Super Beetle, the last with a flat windshield. On a flat road, it could hold 83 mph. A long. long time ago....I’d be amazed if mine will do 75. I’m hoping for 60 lol.
Ok thanks.Plastic bit is for the seat stay
Yes you’re probably right. Guess the best thing would be to ride it once the weather cooperates. Maybe another 6 weeks? Fingers crossed.140 both cylinders with a bit of smoke is nothing to worry about. Doubt it is stuck rings with such high PSI, Could it be the valve guides are wearing. That's usually some smoke on start up and goes away once the oil has burnt off
