Can anyone ID this engine on my 69 baja bug? Its apparently a 1466cc engine, but I can't find any indications. I ask so I can look up service manuals as its leaking oil slightly at the bottom. I'll post more pictures. Any help is appreciated.

Oil leak
no clue but it looks like it would be so easy to slap a turbo on those headers
side view
what kind of oil are you running? Im not into super old cars, but my uncle said that running dynthetic in old engines like that can cause leaks? hes a VW guy and owns a type 3
If it's not leaking oil then there's no oil in it.
No idea if its bs but personally in my 96 maxima, when i was running synthetic oil i was leaking from both valve covers. when i went down to blend the leaks stopped
something about synthetic oil being a more effective detergent so its more likely to clear out debris that is partially gumming up your gaskets and preventing them from leaking
never heard of a 1466cc at all closest I know of is a 1470cc
take off the pulley and see if its leaking from there though Im guessing the oil pump is the problem or if youre lucky just the cover
Id look into that and some new gaskets
Previous owner says he used kendall 20-40
Is there any resource I can find that refers to a service manual of some sort? I can't find a single makers mark
this is for air cooled VWs
but if you want to id it then here you go
and wowsers I think you may want a new exhaust and a nice tune up on that thing
Forgive me, but how do I find bore and stroke?
...
you wouldnt be able to without opening the engine up and getting it measured
but it should be a 1500 going by the plate which is 1493cc
Any idea about the possible maker? All I find on ebay are generic engines with no makers? Do repair manuals just not exist for these things?
?
its a Volkswagen engine
I just found a maker mark, thanks man
The crankshaft of a beetle engine is unbalanced, so you wouldn't reap much benefit from that unless you like rebuilding the engine a fuckton.
Would this be the appropriate manual for my alleged 1500cc motor?
I noticed that but the engine on my current 69 has the 1500cc engine from the Type 3, at least I believe so. I'm going to check in the morning if I can find some engine serials to know for sure what I have.
nah its a Type 1 1500
you can see the plate in
Holy shit it is, thank you user. Much appreciated.
This book right here. Also all them engines leak a little. Have an 1800cc 70 beetle myself
