Hi Everyone! We are back on our 1986 Porsche 3.2 Carrera! With the engine installed it is time to start hooking things up. We start with the engine bay - plenty to do here :) We are getting closer to the start-up!! Enjoy!
Just rebuilt my '84 3.2 including splitting the cases, connected it up and started straight off. Result! :) Watching you gave me the inspiration. I have never opened an engine in my life before this. Thank you.
I did the clutch on my 1985 Turbo Targa.So much fun.This reminds me of happy times.My brother owned a 911T from the 1960's.We practiced on his car first.Love your channel.
It was suggested by some bloke in England I should subscribe to your channel. Of all the videos I have watched of his, this is the best advice he has ever given. Have not missed any since I have subscribed and have gone back and watched the previous ones. Excellent channel.
Great video!!! Love the terminology......”just a kiss, little bit of Braille”. I have watch so many of your videos, that I catch myself repeating those phrases in my videos. I hope you don’t mind and I will also give you shout out if I do. Can’t wait to hear it run!
Good job. Re the shroud bolts, I liked that one of the rear (front) bolts was "basically right here-ish." Great descriptive! I know you're happy the job is moving forward quickly at this point. You'll certainly be ready for spring driving.
It seems like it isn't a lot until you actually have to connect them all ;) I think the shop time is over eight hours for install. A bit more involved than the 356... At least there aren't any cooling hoses!
Another fantastic video Franny, I along with everyone else cannot wait to hear that engine fire up for the first time since you did all the work bringing it back....
Love this channel! Was hoping you sourced another 8mm bolt for the air tube to the blower at 13:14 in this video. Unfortunately, I am missing both on my '84 911. Its a bit of a Frankenstein car I am trying to sort out. All my best.
Another awesome watch The skills the detail the quality, well enough about Heidi 😂 It’s looking brand new under that hood and every effort worth it Well done 👍
@@HeidiandFranny I was being amusing and know both your names , was wanting to include Heidi in the praise ( referencing the filming editing etc ) teamwork 🙏
Aw, so sweet, but the editing is Franny as well. We had discussed and I offered, but since she is in the middle of the project, it makes more sense for her to edit. I do way more behind the scenes from working with our Patrons, phone calls to shops, parts orders, running errands, household stuff (well, Franny has that too), our cat channel including filming and editing), you get the picture. But thanks. It all works out. As long as you enjoy, that is what matters.
I must confess, seeing all of these clean 'n shiny parts go together is giving me warm fuzzy feelings! Question for the 7:00 min mark: those Oettiker clamps in the top left corner -- did you disassemble those, or are those OE? Did you order new ones from Porsche and were they cad plated? Or did you source new Oettiker clamps and send them off with your cad plating job? Just wondering how deep the fanaticism went here. 😄
Thank you Franny! I felt my tension drop through the whole video. You are the best mental health professional in the world! Oh and your automotive knowledge is exceptional as well!
Odd .... I'm huge fan of your videos Franny. just an FYI, for some reason I stopped getting notifications about new posts (about a month now). Could be on my end... just curious if anyone else pinged you with same issue
I've just pulled my engine om my 1986. Your video's made it super easy. I'm replacing all my fuel lines like you did and I'll replace my vacuum lines. Including te large one that goes to the brake booster. In this video I clearly see 85 om your hose. Was it still pliable? Mine was brittle.
Great question... The BB hose isn't exactly soft, but it is still pliable. I was thinking about your comment while working on the car and it wouldn't be all that bad to replace. In the tunnel it is a steel tube so there is just the rubber tubes connecting to the tunnel from both ends. I had the BB go out on the Ferrari and it made a bunch of noise. I'm guessing a bad hose wouldn't be subtle ;) A future project? f
Engines always surprise me how extremely complicated they are. Like a contraption from a Jules Verne novel. One small thing - I wish I knew what the various air vents are doing. I watch your videos start to finish, yet I will never own a Porsche. I prefer boats.
Some of the air is going into the engine to help burn fuel. Some is going through the big fan to be blown over the fins on the cylinders to cool the engine. And some is going through steel caverns built around the exhaust pipes to make hot air for the passenger compartment in the winter. This series of videos really drives home that they did not just remove an engine. They dropped an engine, a fuel injection system, an air intake system, an engine cooling system, and a heater system! Oh, and the entire exhaust system! Now, the oil filtration and sump and cooling system is a whoooole 'nother story and is mostly off-engine. Some of it's in the engine bay and some is up in the front end of the car! 😄
A LOT less time... Like a quarter? fussing with the cameras and lights is just a thing. Then there is editing that can take more than a week... Still, it is great to have visuals of the work. I actually referred to them quite a bit putting everything back together.
