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

In our last video we started our 1800cc stroked engine build for our 1971 Super Beetle. We continue the engine assembly by dropping the crankshaft, camshaft, bearings other engine internals into the case half on our stand. Then we’ll drop the opposite case half in place and get the short block torqued together.
