Unhappy off topic VW BUG HELP

Hello there everyone. I have a 1970 VW bug that is absolutely driving me crazy. I had the stock motor re-built and that lasted 2 years when it broke a valve. I just paid to have that motor (top end) re-built and of course after starting it up something in the bottom end was bad. I thought ok I will buy a brand new motor and should be problem free for years.... well I'm almost out of cash and the car is still not 100%. The current motor is a 1776 dual port motor so it is quite a bit larger than the stock one. Well the generator was whining and eventually freezed up. No problem I'll throw in a new generator... well now the new one gets so damn hot you can't even touch it. The voltage regulator also gets extremely hot as well. The charging system is charging at 13 volts at idle and increases with speed (that is how it has been for years). I am at a loss of what to do now so if anyone it smart in the VW area I would more than gladly appreciate the help.... Thanks a lot Cliff
