Porsche 997 Carrera 2: How To Fix The Engine! | Wheeler Dealers 

I just love how Elvis gets really hands on with the machining and fabrication with all of the recent Wheeler Dealers. Got a professional Mat Armstrong vibe to it, whilst still being highly personable.

Wheeler dealer play found you guys again. Love you guys. Glad to have you back.

I fell in love with the result look and sound of this beauty! nice going Mike and Elvis, it looks stunning.

Damn, I'd buy this Porsche if I lived in the UK, definitely worth it now that it's been sleeved!

Lovely ! Gorgeous wheels & livery! missed the interiors though..

Being a German I can give you some advice on how to pronounce the name of the wheels: its name is Fuchs, which in German isn't pronounced like "fouche", but like "fooks" (like it would be in "books"). 😉

I like Mike Brewer and Elvis is a great mechanic but reality is for anyone else thats a big loss, Hartech aren't letting average Joe in to use they're facilities, moral is buyer beware the profit is made when you buy !

Final car looks great. Love the play on the Carrera RS 2.7 look.

Awesome - lets see the full episode ;-)

You are right on all counts all your points are correct

Guys that looks mint!

Amazing car

Man you are a fantastic artist! Thank for sharing! USA ☮️

Edd china te echamos de menos, el tiempo del programa ya no se usa en reparaciones sino en hablar del coche. Una lástima que Edd dejara el programa, pero si este era el futuro del mismo, creo que entonces acertó

Did you replace the pistons?

watching this today on Quest, i came looking for an upload, seen my old comment, no need for another.

Met Elvis lovely bloke 😊

Sorry but i love the work done to the engine and it looks superb 👍

Lesson for this is don't buy one unless you got deep pockets

What have Porsche had to say about the bore score issue? Are they not embarrassed that their reputation will take a hit? Why couldn't these cars have had the higher quality cylinder liners from the outset? I've had issues with BMW bikes and the company attitude is to ignore you until you go away. Is that the Porsche philosophy too?

997 are glorious..the best ever.

It's a shame we can't all do this and have to pay 😪

Is that a Lambretta Vega in the background?

why you didnt show the making of the new cylinders?

Porsche used crap Lokasil and Alusil on their cylinders for all the non-turbo/GT3 996 and 997’s, but used the same across the whole 991 range. 4% ? Yeh right… My 2006 is getting rebuilt right now and I’m dead certain my 2018 will need is at some point too.

Engine and parts does not cost 3500 especially from hartech

So far what i heard is that porsche instead of using Nikasil coating like other brands, they decided to do their own proprietary coating and this is the result. Its crap.

Unless I missed something, you didn't show the insertion of the new cylinder liners -- really the most sensitive part of the operation.

Que paso y no ll a ian traducido en español?

I think most of that it’s due to ownership fault. People don’t daily drive these cars, they buy them as toys and only ever warm up the cars on the garages or driveways, which is exactly what you not supposed to do.

Why did this program use a fake exhaust noise when filming this car on the street. I have never heard a noise like that coming out of any 6 cylinder Porsche. Wtf??

Wait til the day he learns what a real "tiny" camera looks like. Fits on the head of a pin. They love making things fit on the head of a pin.

Porsche should live up to the expensive price tag. This is precisely why I would stay away from the brand ticking time bomb

Will the HP increase?

Amazing how poorly engineered Porsche cars are, but they still maintain their reputation.

Missing the best part with the new cyls

Surprised the shop doesn't charge you for using their equipment???? Do clarify... or where are the savings from the 2500 pounds original cost. I am shocked to see that a 911 would have an open deck at the cost of cylinder strength. Still got hot!!!! whats the point then.???

Not sure why the best case it’s only 1 cylinder when your going to have them all done

Did that engine come from the bottom of the pacific ?

What’s caused it

Elvis, How much are they Charging you to Bore a Hole, in your Country, In the Us, Its about 30 a hole, So new set of pistons, bearings and and bore, How bad can it be, 1000 bucks, Search for a set of 30 over pistons.unless your Being ripped off because they think your Loaded.and you Probably,are, LOL

If I’m a leaving a block, it’s getting bigger pistons!!!!

Great to see some actual engineering and machining. But omg those wheels are terrible

15 second, unskippable midroll ad for a swiffer just as the machining starts? No tah. I hope your engine turned out okay.

They did all that work and sold the car for £26k. Sadly the car didnt last more than a year or two after this. MOT expired way back in 2015 so it is much like all the other cars done on this show. Most last a year then fail their MOTs with most not being touched again.

Sorry, but IMHO those replica fuch wheels look awful! What a terrible thing to do to a Porsche.

IMS solutuioon?

Just curious, is it possible to increase the engine capacity when getting this job done, it might be worth your while, especially when you have the engine stripped down, maybe a 4 litre conversion would be nice.

Mike brewer doesn't arth get through mechanical work show partners ????

How to lie how much parts cost

Should have nailed lobster claw feet on.

great video but it's the complete antithesis of what Wheeler Dealers is about. Who in the real world is going to take a gamble on a 15 grand car and has access to the facilities required to fix said car? Back in the day it was centred around the hobbyist buying cars for modest prices and doing jobs that could be done at home. Now, they have the resouces a F1 team would have as well as the budget and mechanics.

👌👏👏👍

Good for another thousands and thousands of miles you say?

Or for those who would like to enjoy the sound of the last air cooled 911 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y4vuH6aHMlQ.html

Porche should warranty there bad design.

It's not that easy and using anything but iron casing is recipee for it happening again! The reason being is that cylinder is flimsy on the ends and becomes egg shaped over time and it is flimsy because it is BORED out Boxster 2.5 block :D and the walls are thin as hell, you need to make it stiffer! TLDR it will score again ;)

Bore score and seven years ago.

Porsche not Porsch, Elvi should know better. 🤔

mercedes - bmw - porsche - and audi = all have big engine problems ! = so much cost for german junk = nice to drive - nice to look at = A DEMON TO OWN ! = big bank account !

Miss Edd China. Mike is a wee bit heavier now. Have not seen him in years.

was a badly enineered engine to start with, let's be honest....

lmao they basically helicoil'd the block

What I fined messed up about mike, Great guy, But why is he selling a Car, for a couple of thousand dollars, Most of the time ,I mean I know he wants to sell the Car But stop giving them away, Its just plain stupid. Like the Volvo, Redid the interior all new suspension, And sells it foe a lousy 1500 dollars over what he did , Just plain stupid,Car was rust free, That car should have sold for 15,000, with out trying.He,s just Giving them away. He should be making 5000 dollar profit on every car they redo.

Ok, Sorry but I'm missing how "this" blocks cylinders are so hard? They wore excessively with "stock" pistons??? Poor design ='s poor craftmanship! German does not ALWAYS = better. Proof here.....LS with piston skirt coating do Soooo much better. No mercy here when you look at cost to refurbish and replace.........

Doesn't show liner install at all. Wank

Save yourself the headache and just dnt buy a Porsche lol

How to ruin a nice looking car.

Mein gott,they r crap😊

What WD has become - even less mechanical detail than Car SOS and now a, less than charismatic mechanic alongside the "wee barrel". Thats me being polite. Dire guys, just dire.

Yees, thats pour vw qualety for you 😂😂😂😂 They look good, but for the love of god, stay away from everything vw related. Its all crapp.

Haha i have a barra falcon motor that can run 1 million ks without engine build and produce 800 hp shit german engineering

Love the Wheels, very European 😎

Everyone knows. Never. Buy. A. Gen1. 997.
