Wow, what a project! That is certainly not something I could ever do. Ps. You answered my question from Renslist. I’ll be checking with my local mechanic as I think I have a broken gear

Hello Thomas Otten, First let me introduce myself, I am Rolf M.Mol. Also a member of the Otten family, haha. You encourage me to pick up my old love again. I've had a 914 on the bridge for years (33) and every now and then I look at it. The body isn't in that bad shape, fortunately. If we keep in touch, that will encourage me to roll up my sleeves. Kind regards, Rolf M.Mol The Netherlands.
I have one to do in a month or so. These two videos have helped me greatly. I really appreciate you taking the time and not leaving anything out, even if it meant you had to go rework something to make it right. A+ for you sir!
Need to include the cost of the oil pump inspection, oil coolers being professionally cleaned and pressure checked and oil lines cleaned or replaced replaced. Would not want to get any old contaminated oil into a new engine. Nice video.
Car-Freitag 🤣 Hallo Thomas! Ideale Zeit für die Wertschätzung Deiner Arbeit hochwertigen! Viele Dank fürs Teilen! Schaue mir ein Video nach dem anderen an! Liebe Grüße aus Freiburg Rainer
Do it yourself. I rebuilt mine using "How to modify and rebuild a Porsche 911 engine" by Wayne Dempsey. Never rebuild an engine before, and it started first time. Running well, 3 years on.
Very good video enjoyed seeing how you went about your rebuild I have a 1974, 911 with a 2.7 L engine and it has the magnesium engine case which I had to do upgrades on that engine case. I had to have case savers installed for the head studs and I installed new head studs, but I did not go with the head studs that are the racing grade I went with the standard aftermarket, steel studs. I did install new pistons and cylinders new timing chains and I upgraded the engine to, the higher output, oil pump with the oil bypass modification for that engine and other important thing is to find a Porsche a qualified machine shop, which I did in the state of Washington and the person that rebuilt my engine was a Retired Porsche Mechanic working out of the shop at his home which save me a lot of money. From what I’ve learned on Having, The, Engine, and Transmission rebuilt and replacing a lot of worn out parts on the car body. You should have a very good income and you should plan on having two wheelbarrow loads stuff completely full of disposable cash to spend on the project. Also to save yourself a lot of cash disassemble the engine yourself and take it to the machine shop and shop the Internet and source all of your parts. There’s a lot of the Internet companies that deal in Porsche Parts I shopped around four or five different companies define who had the exact part I wanted and purchased it at the cheapest price to help hold down the cost.
Thanks for the great video! Your phone is vastly superior to earlier recording, especially in the bass region. I have a stock 76 currently looking at this exhaust and the bursch. I was drawn to the Bursch for the lighter and shorter design, but this sounds quiet with mainly bass sound coming through.
Hallo aus Deutschland. Hervorragender Turnaround des Porsche. Ich genieße wirklich, was ich sehe. Tolle Arbeit wie immer! Ich liebe deine Videos auf jeden Fall und sie lehren mich immer. Vielen Dank für all die tollen Inhalte zum Porsche 911. Hello from Germany. Excellent turnaround of the Porsche. I really enjoy what I see. Great work as always! I definitely love your videos and they always teach me. Thank you for all the great content about the Porsche 911.
Hallo from Germany: 🙂 Sehr beeindruckend! Dieser Job ist viel aufwändiger, als ich es mir vorgestellt hätte, und er hat mich definitiv davon überzeugt, es nicht zu versuchen. Super gemacht! Very impressive! This job is way more involved than I would've imagined and it definitely convinced me not to try this. You did an amazing job!
Spannend! Mit großer Aufmerksamkeit verfolge ich nun bereits einige Zeit die Videos auf diesem Kanal. Von Video zu Video lerne ich mehr zum Thema: Porsche 911 Restaurierung. Jedes Mal sind informative und wertvolle Hinweise dabei. Egal ob es um den Porsche 911 oder Porsche 914 geht. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos. Gruß aus Deutschland #porsche #germany #bremen #restaurieren Exciting! I have been following the videos on this channel with great attention for some time now. From video to video I learn more about the topic: Porsche 911 restoration. There are informative and valuable tips included every time. No matter whether it's about the Porsche 911 or Porsche 914. I look forward to more videos. Greetings from Germany #porsche #germany #bremen #restore
That's expensive to remove studs! Snap-On collet type stud remover and maybe a small propane torch if they were Loctited in. Couldn't possibly be any more difficult than the Yamaha's I've worked on. (and pretty similar to air cooled Beetle with two more cylinders) Working on SOHC and DOHC motors for 50+ years means they are simple to do (did you know Alfa Romeo flat four in Sud and others was designed by a former Porsche engineer who kinda told Porsche he could do things better) 60hrs seems a bit 'padded' for just a basic motor, motorcycles have transmission built in which means a lot more parts to be checked. I already have majority of tools and equipment needed, cam and Magnaflux I can't do though. Are the exhaust nuts the nickel plated brass ones that don't seize onto studs? (I generally make new ones, it's fun even though buying them is cheaper) Don't ARP make heavy duty stud kits? It's still substantially cheaper than the re-manufactured engines which seem to be around $25,000~$26,000
Danke, diese Fallbeispiele an einem Porsche 911 empfinde ich als sehr wertvoll. Besonders gefällt mir der unkomplizierte Umgang mit der Materie „Porsche Restauration“. Ich sehe in dem Clip viel positive Detailverliebtheit. In diesem Video ist der ganze Arbeitsaufwand wie Reinigen und Spachteln etc., nicht sichtbar: Die Fleißarbeit. Bin gespannt auf die Fortschritte und mehr Wissen + Unterhaltung. Weiterhin Viel Erfolg! Thank you, I find these case studies on a Porsche 911 to be very valuable. I particularly like the uncomplicated handling of the subject of “Porsche restoration”. I see a lot of positive attention to detail in the clip. In this video, all the work involved, such as cleaning and filling, etc., is not visible: the hard work. I'm looking forward to the progress and more knowledge + entertainment. Continued success!
You certainly can, but paint less dent removal is more expensive and often not perfect, meaning that there are subtle imperfections left. if you are going to paint a car anyway, you will inevitably apply at minimum a skim coat of filler. Of course, if budget had permitted, the door could have been reskinned. It’s really a matter of time and budget.
Glad to see that you use an engine test stand in your build process. So many issues\items can be resolved\checked quite easily by running the engine outside of the car. Well done, Sir!
Simply great, this flair of an old Porsche 911 - and respect for the craftsman! Here an enthusiast is doing something remarkable. Really beautiful, and what and how they do it: for a beautiful car with a sustainable approach to their work. My respect - everything seems very committed and personal. You hardly find that today. I am looking forward to see more... #911 #Porsche #Cabrio #Restoration Einfach klasse, dieses Flair eines alten Porsche 911- und - Respekt vor dem Handwerker! Hier stellt ein Enthusiast etwas Bemerkenswertes auf die Beine. Richtig schön, und was und wie sie das machen: für ein schönes Autos mit nachhaltigem Ansatz bei ihrer Arbeit. Meine Hochachtung - alles wirkt sehr engagiert und persönlich. Das findet man heute kaum noch. Ich freue mich auf mehr... #911 #Porsche #Cabrio #Restaurierung
Thomas I am glad RU-vid sent me your video; I appreciate the quality of your video and its clarity. I have a '74 2.0 with Webbers and recently put a new stainless steel tuned exhaust on it; It's not too loud and sounds healthy. I love to drive my car. It lots of torque. Winter 2022 was reworking the car at a friends in Tehachapi. It was a challenge to find a battery that fit. And a clip to secure it.. Like you I want better. I love driving my car everywhere: freeway road trips, in the city and mountain roads that are sometimes quite bumpy. Day or night, rain or shine. Summer and winter. My suspension is upgraded and run some sticky Japanese tires. It has 4-lug aluminum wheels. Really like the look of the Fuchs on your car. Some day have wheels like your on my car. Happy Holidays. I look forward to seeing your videos in 2024.
Great video! This stuff is super important content for air cooled owners. I rebuilt my '89 3.2 last year as it has several cracked head studs when I did the PPI so I was able to negotiate the engine rebuild into my purchase price. I did a cammed 3.4 build and I'm loving it.
@@UberWerks914 Sure. From top to bottom, I'm running DRC 964 cams made from the stock cams. He refurbished the rocker arms too. I used new shafts with seals with the turbokraft rocker locks to keep them in place. The heads are from xtreme with new valves and aasco springs with ti retainers. The head chambers have an edge bevel from the stock 95mm to 98mm new bore. Underneath that is new 98mm 10:1 Mahle piston and cylinders for single plug. I measured the CC chamber volume and it came up to 10.05:1 after machining and no detonation. The case was machined by Ollies in Arizona with a line bore and spigot machining. They extracted several head studs, polished the crank, refurbished the rods, and pressure tested the oil cooler. I'm running coated clevite bearings on the rods and coated glyco's on the mains. Holding things together are the supertec head studs and the ARP 9mm rod bolts. On the induction side I went with the stock ECU , but with a Steve Wong custom chip. The intake has a bored throttle body, MSDS filter, Lucas fuel injectors. I refurbished/rebuilt the air flow box and replaced the idle microswitch (the cause of many high idle issues) and the replaced the throttle body 80% open sensor listed as NLA with a BMW part. All sensors replaced like the crank triggers, oil pressure, oil temp, oil level, etc. Oil pump replaced along with cam chains, cam gears, tensioner gears and IMS gears. Of the moving parts that just got cleaned was the IMS shaft and it's aluminum drive gear. I have stock type stainless steel heat exchangers running to a Monte M41 muffler. I left some power on the table and could have used more aggressive cams, ECU, MAF conversion and headers if I wanted to go for more. But I have a very entertaining 7000 RPM motor that holds up well and last another 30 years. P.S. While you're in there stuff would be motor mounts, trans mount, flywheel, all things clutch, fuel injection lines, chassis fuel lines. It's a good time to pull the banana arms and replace those bushings too which leads into the torsion bushings and wheel bearings. Then refurbish the dry sump oil tank and those lines. Do it right the first time.
Where are you located? I have a 1973 911 T with mechanical fuel injection that needs a rebuild. Engine is in the car. Spark plugs and rotor cap missing. Not sure if it runs.
Vielen Dank für dieses aufschlussreiche Video bezüglich der Restaurierung bzw. der Kosten für einen Sechszylinder Porschemotor / Porsche 911. Ich freue mich schon auf die folgenden Videos zu diesem Thema! #Porsche #Porsche 911 #Porschemotor #Porscherestaurierung
