Nope, not with the wonderful VW engines of old.
It might hold trues to the 80's plus engines but those old 70's air cooled engines... yes, adjust the valves. It is easy to do. That slap you hear from most bugs and vans you drive by driving is not what it is supposed to sound like.

Fix that shit, easy peasy.

Oh yeah, you have to adjust the valves and do the oil change very 3000 miles.


Also I'm pretty sure that unless someone installed an aftermarket oil filter, You probably want to change it at 2k miles.
The engines only came with a metal oil strainer. Not an actual filter.


Could be, I was just told 3k.

No wait, that does not make sense.
A filter is a filter.
Are thinking about some oil cooler or something?

Dammit I am drunk what you said is just plain wrong... now that I read it 3 times.

The Stock "filter" is an oversized tea strainer.
Would you rather have oil filtered through a tea strainer or an actual oil filter?

oil filter conversions are easy.

so is the valve adjustment. after a few times you can do theg. oil change/valve adjustment/new valve cover gaskets in 20 minutes. its no big thang.

honda made a tool for a valve adjustment that is titties and beer for it.

set of feeler guages are a must. (dont cheap out on them) crafstman makes a usable set.

and comparing an 80s deisel mercedes to a 70s vw bus is apples and oranges man.

change the rockers. with tens of millions of these on the road in the US
alone you dont think someone has developed a rocker arm that would fix
that issue.... a one time replacement at $60+/-. a roller rocker or a
version with a beefier screw or a better setting system?

they've done it with every other car that's frequently hotrodded



if valve stretch isnt the issue then it's in the rocker arms. what would
be the most likely culprit? something with the screw. setting the lash
could be as easy as a few shims replace the assembly with an after market
set designed for performance.

roller rockers have their advantages.

but why on a stock motor that takes litteraly no time to adjust correctly?

Re: VW bus. [Re: rackem]

it's the inconvenience

I've never seen them get out of adjustment as frequently as oil changes are
needed unless they were old, worn parts or being reused without being refurb'd

ya i get that part.. if it was for a hi po motor.

but 20 minutes of time while you do the oil change aint that big of a deal.

plus you get a reason to put new valve cover gaskets in while your at it. keep those oil leaks to a min :lol:

wow, i had no idea that these things were so popular, with replacment parts available

it looks like an awesome ride to have....

that being said, its still a 30 year old car, and that has to come with some issues... personally if you're mechanically inclined, and arent gonna loose a job if and when it breaks down, id say go for it

So....did the OP wind up getting the bus??

Man y`all are going to hate me! Just got word I am to be the new owner of a '67 split windshield bus. Original owner....everything is there. Was running when parked 5 years ago. I haven`t seen it but I know it is worth the more $ in parts alone than what he has agreed to. It`s bottom half is red and the top is white. Freakin original owner....all for the whopping sum of $700! :eek:

Hoping to maybe have it road worthy by x-mas....going to mack the bitch out with x-mas tree lights inside and out! :zaphod:
