**PORSCHE 914 VW TYPE IV 2056 REBUILD - PUSHROD TUBES, COOLING, ALTERNATOR, & MORE**

In his Bumblebee restoration, Episode 23, Ian Karr continues his 914 engine rebuild. It's part 7 of his VW Type IV 2056 engine build, where he pops in the pushrod tubes, finishes the oil system, puts on the cooling tins and installs the alternator / belt. With the tins off, you can see how the cooling flaps work and why they're such an important part of the engine's design.  Also, if you need to replace your alternator and/or belt, you'll have a clear idea of what's involved. You can view all the episodes on in the [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmCYkBdjzDJ3PJZ9z7H04wtCxj2YjlNVx|VW Type IV Rebuild Playlist]] on Ian's YouTube channel.
