Neat! But with all stop motion......I can only imagine how long it took to make. The acorn section certainly made me laugh

This would certainly help with putting everything back together in case you forgot where a bolt went.

That split block seal is reportedly the biggest biotch to get perfect.

Shucks, that t'aint nothing. I once saw a Porsche engine disassemble itself in less than 3 seconds. Didn't need no fancy stop motion photography neither!

(Hah! Triple negative usage counts as double score! Take that, Scrabble fans!)

Fun to watch! I liked the nuts angle. I can imagine the driver, ..."dang! This handling in back is getting squirrelly!".

Some parts there I have not seen before. The boxer engine has always fascinated with its low center of gravity, made lower in this case by the dry sump oiling.

Not something I'd like to do. Maybe when I was younger, if I had a fully-equipped shop.

That was a lot of stuff for an air-cooled engine. Sheesh.

TW, you made me laugh with the "squirrelly" handling comment. Nice.

Back in the late 60's a friend of mine had a 1966 VW. If he changed the oil and found one fleck of metal on his magnetic drain plug he would tear down the entire engine and do a rebuild.

I helped him twice. He could pull it, overhaul it, and replace it in four hours. But then he had everything necessary to do the job. He could even grind his own valves.

This experience came in handy years later when I needed to do a 914 1.8. It took me about 20 hours of labor, but it all worked when I hit the key!

I also once did a VW Vanagon water cooled which are known for blowing their head gaskets about every 30,000 miles. The water cooling made it a bit tricker, but it all worked when I was finished!
