FWIW, Number 3 exhaust is a two part valve that is hid behind the oil cooler. When you put that much of a load on the engine it heats up to the point the exhaust valve top will pop off like a dandelion would with a flick of the thumb.
If you do any sort of a load on those engines make sure you have a one part valve and remove the oil cooler and make it a remote one. Not to make those modifications is asking for trouble.
Did that to my 66 Bug at 50K miles then traded it for a 58 Caddy. We got a lot of hard use out of the bug, but we abused it badly by overloading it, pulling a trailer and running at high speeds. Today when I see a 67 (1500CC engine) I'll ask my wife if she wants one and for some darn reason the gives me a very sharp NO.:B
