How long can a Volkswagen engine run at top RPM with no oil? This is annual event at the Maritime Volkswagen Owners Club (MVOC) show. This video is from the 1998 show. UPDATE: From comments., I see that some folks don't understand the reason we did this. This is a common event at many Volkswagen shows. The purpose is to show how duriable an air-cooled VW engine is. Try doing the same with another type of engine!? Plus, the VW engine can be repaired quickly and cheaply with hours.

Yeah, VeeDub engines kick ass! Other engines can`t last for 1 minute at top RPM with plenty of oil! :)
OH MY GOD they killed a VW engine.... You bastards! :P
Well we resurrected it for the VW show the following year. :)
"VW engines can take a hell of a beating and get back on the road."
That's true. That's so fucking true.
Build it, blow it, fix it - and blow it again.
Thanks for this movie. It's amazing! I like it!
