Apologizing unnecessarily is a Canadian thing. You do not want to be mistook for a Canadian! You are never late, you are precisely when you meant to be!

@johnhowell316 5 лет назад

Watching you doing these things just fascinates me. I wouldn't have the nerve. Although I must admit one of the things about watching you work, is how clean you stay. Even when I change my oil, I look like I did it from the inside of the engine. Good luck! Thanks for letting us watch.

@mikeleslie6486 3 года назад

Franny, don’t listen to the haters commenting on your experience dropping an engine. Very few people have the skills or the fortitude to try something like this on their own. Great job. I am impressed.

@cicli 5 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic series of videos. It is a relatively easy task to take the engine out of a G-series, but you make it even easier and friendlier. Thanks so much.

@johnspecht72 5 лет назад

This experience will be great for you and your audience. The knowledge gained will allow all of to appreciate both the 911 more and what it takes to keep it running. I really enjoy Franny's sense of humour and her straight forward attitude to overcoming obstacles. This series is great and getting better. I look forward to future episodes.

Great Job! I will probably do the same with my 993 at some point soon so I can replace the clutch. I've done this method with my 912 (which is super easy because the rear panel is removable. With the 993 I'm going to use my 2-post lift and an engine cradle a lot like yours.

@ManNomad 5 лет назад

I used to RR the engine and trans on all air cooled 911s with a regular large floor jack and two jack stands by myself. Just balance the jack plate on the engine where the center of gravity of the engine trans-axle assembly is. That jack assembly you used was not able to drop low enough and was not on the C.G.. Once you get it balanced you will never forget where the balance point is and make the operation sweet.

@hatedknight 5 лет назад

Love this!!!!!! Best video I've seen in a long time on RU-vid involving cars!!!!! You guys rock!!!! Watch the length of the screws as you remove them. Like VW's, a lot of them will block channels if the wrong screw goes in👍 Can't wait for rest. Take care👍

Hi Heidi Franny, super job you're doing. Maybe buy/rent a quicklift next time to raise the car? Lower portion of the bumper looks like it could be removed. Reminds me of the Beetle engines i've worked on. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🏎😎

@rodgraff1782 5 лет назад

I’d use a little heavier engine stand. Mine has an H shaped base with four wheels instead of just 3. I had a 3.3 turbo racing engine on it. The lighter duty T base stands are a little too shakey for me. Thanks for using the correct factory yoke, instead of a Mickey Mouse mount. Good job on your first engine pull! I enjoy watching your videos.

@HeidiandFranny 5 лет назад

Yeah, thanks. Great tip. At this point we just decided the ladder on the fourth side. Lol. Heidi

@idrivearttabletennis 5 лет назад

Great video (seriously, well done!). It all worked out. But curious, it would seem that you maxed the lift of the car body to the limit - is that what you actually saw happening? Great to show adjusting the jack stands immediately as the car body went higher (safety fist!). Glad you mentioned taking the photos - most of us would need lots of photos and videos to know how everything goes back when it's time. Looking forward to the next video. Safe travels.

@HeidiandFranny 5 лет назад

Take the bumper off when installing. Makes the job heaps easier when not using a lift. Curious to why you didnt remove the clutch assembly before you put it on the stand? That said, well done! Remember to detail the engine bay thoroughly now that you’ve got the perfect opportunity.

@HeidiandFranny 5 лет назад

Thanks Phil, Not sure if I'll mess with the clutch... The TO bearing feels great and the clutch was replaced about 30K miles ago... Easy enough to set the engine on the lift though...

So tidy!! Neat drop!! Must be the most stylish mechanic in the world, never mind RU-vid. For future projects would you swap one of your 4 posters for a 2 poster? Or does the ease of use for more mechanical jobs adversely affect the ease storing cars too much?

@HeidiandFranny 3 года назад

Our lifts were strictly based on storage. We would love a two post as well. If you do not need to stor, then get a two post. Four posts are great, but they do not work for swapping out snow tires or changing a flat. Heidi

@buckmaxey7998 Год назад

So does the fuel tank have to be drained? For some reason I don't recall doing that when I did this a long time ago but maybe I did. I was thinking it's "below' the engine but maybe I'm wrong.

@chetd63 5 лет назад

Great episode, and kudos on the DIY spirit, but please, please Franny, wear some more substantial shoes when rolling a 400lb engine around, not to be preachy, but you'll really not enjoy running your toe over even with boots on, but with moccasins, it's unlikely you'll get off lighter than a broken toe. (I speak from experience, I nearly ran my toe over with a 5.4L V8 on a stand a couple of weeks ago but my boots kept it from going over and I got away with a couple days sore and a couple of bucks in the swear jar. :) )(and BTW, you'll never regret wearing a sturdy pair of boots when working with nearly any kind of tools).

@scottnichols5402 4 года назад

If anyone removes a 911 Porsche engine what they do first is jack the Porsche up and then set the Porsche on jack stands and after that put the floor jack right underneath the oil drain pain underneath the motor that’s where you put your floor jack

@buckmaxey7998 Год назад

As I recall I removed the bumper so I did not have to lift the car quite so high. May be more trouble than it's worth.

@HeidiandFranny Год назад

That really can go either way. Check out when we put the engine back in. We suspended it from the lift and it was way easier and I think less dangerous. I'm just not a fan of really tall jack stands ;)

@nickkiofetzis5667 4 года назад

hey franny you need to jack the car up as hi as possible first then drop out the engine in the oposing angle downwards this will stop all the issues you have had when it goes back in you have trans axle shift shaft first go in tunnel then lift engine in place it only takes 5 mins same coming out your surposed to also use long reach jack and jack it under bell housing and balance it wilst working on it i have had my boss teach me this way and have done so for past 30 years

@HeidiandFranny 4 года назад

Thanks for that Nick. Looks like our method could use some improvement :)

@HeidiandFranny 5 лет назад

Hi Bob, we just reached out to the local community and asked if anyone had one they would part with or would be willing to lend. An engine stand is really something you use once in a great while and store most of the time.

I'm just a slacker and haven't swapped out the wheels with the summer wheels yet because of all this work. I want to go over the suspension as well so I can swap out to the summer tires then.

We use a Panasonic G85 for the main shooter and GoPro 7 for the tight shots. But it really is more about light and getting light where you need it. We have several small rectangle LED lights with good color that are essential. For audio we use the little Rhode wireless mics. That's about it! But honestly I bet your phone would work just fine. A surprising amount (if not all) content on Goozsquad is shot on their cell phones ;)
