Watch the tear down of my Porsche 911 Carrera engine as I investigate what's wrong with cylinder #5. I knew the engine was bad when I bought it, but I wasn't sure if it was a broken head stud, bent valve, bad valve guide, cracked head, or broken piston? Now I know after my longest video to date! Whew, thanks for watching!

This one ended up being a MEGA video at 46 min. I tried cutting it down more, but I decided to leave some of the detail that goes into these engines. As of today's release date, all six heads are in the hands of a competent rebuilder. Happy holidays everyone!

I like your plan! The factory makes decisions based on cost vs profit. They also have a repair department to keep busy. Using the best parts is the best solution!

@911engineguy 6 месяцев назад

hi Tom. I like your valve spring removal tool... would love one myself! Couple of things I've garnered after building a few of these... the rocker shafts do sit very slightly proud of the cam tower.. when you re-assemble, and line up the grooves to be centered, you'll see there is a slight bevel on the edge of the shaft, the base of which just sits flush with the camtower.. and so the outer edge sits slightly proud. Then when you add the conical bush, it sit's completely proud. With removing the head studs nuts, they all "scream"... it's the heat cycle that sticks them. We use assembly lube when new, to get the correct assembly torque but after years of use, they take lots more to remove. If a stud is going to break, it's going to break. I don't bother with pb blaster or heat.. just a breaker bar!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. The rockers seemed very proud to me, but I've looked at how those grooves fit within the tower. As long as the grooves are centered that's what's important. Seems like these non-californian cars are hard to take things apart. I've never had a 356 based engine with head nuts so difficult to remove. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Yep, I wish I knew first hand what they were thinking. Not saying Porsche wasn't trying to push the envelope, but sometimes we learn the hard way. They might have optimized heat transfer, but missed out on longevity. There's a lot that goes into these choices. some good some bad. Toyotas and Chevys don't have this problem, ha ha.

On my '77, 2.7 liter engine, which the "7R" case was notorious for pulling the head studs, I did the time-cert modification and installed (if I remember right, this was a couple decades ago) the turbo studs. I took my heads to Engine Builders Supply (they were close by) and they sent them to CMW for overhaul (guides, springs and set the spring tension, etc). I would also recommend replacing the exhaust studs in the heads. They are subjected to a LOT of heat, and differential metals can either snap the studs and/or pull the threads in the heads. READ UP on timing the cams again after you put it back together. It's easy to do, but it's complicated.... Oh... how I miss it!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

I have a spare 77 engine and I'm hoping all the issues you mention like pulled head studs are a thing of the past.

@robbrooks4964 6 месяцев назад

Hi Tom, great video as usual! Just something of note, there are no seals on those rocker shaft pinch bolt areas. That’s only a race car part. I believe they use them in the RSRs. But regular 911s never had them unless a later engine builder added them as a preventive measure.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

You are right, I checked the parts diagram and the seals aren't on there. My other 3.2L engine had them, so I kind of figured the later cars got them too. I'll be adding them to this engine as it seems to be a good idea. They are generally referred to as RSR seals like you say. Thanks for bringing this up.

@lukasmatzinger 6 месяцев назад

@@GarageTimeAutoResto Hi Tom! The RSR seals are definitely a good idea to stop any leaks in that area. While you have the cam towers off, I'd recommend that you slightly chamfer the edges of the rocker pin bores, otherwise the fairly sharp edges will most likely damage some of the 12 seals when you install them.

Great vid, Tom. I'm with you in that I would have rebuilt all 6 heads, too. But, like you, I would not just go all in on a full top end/bottom end rebuild "just cuz I'm in there". Not too difficult a job to get to where you're at, though you got a treat with the exhaust removal, LOL. That's the great thing about doing this kind of stuff yourself - you're not paying exorbitant labor costs for some other guy to mess it up. Nice job!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Given the low and gentle miles these cars experience today, I totally agree. Why build another 300k mile engine when I will probably put 30k on it in my lifetime.

@jackpalczynski7884 5 месяцев назад

Good work and I completely agree with your plan going forward. My first thought was that the last guy found a cylinder or 3 that needed new valves or guides and did only the ones that weren't in spec. So #5 used to be in spec but had wear and continued to wear. Perhaps the owner at the time told the mechanic to do it as cheaply as possible as he was going to get rid of the car. Well, that's as cheap as possible even if it doesn't make sense with all the work it takes to do the worn guides. It's not that much more to do them all.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 5 месяцев назад

You are absolutely right. When the heads were bead blasted at the shop they noticed some of the guides were original Porsche guides. They are a darker color and harder to remove according to the owner. The only reason for not doing them all is budget. I'm pretty frugal, but not that cheap, ha ha.

@davidwhite4427 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your videos. I just bought an 87 carrera. I'm a DIYer myself. I worked on my 2 Ferraris for 20 years which I recently sold and moved to the Porsche world and restored a car many years ago. I agree with you on replacing with the best part available. No mgf has a perfect record. My 84 Ferrari BB 512i had a diff carrier from the factory which were welded and that weld could fail. I replaced mine with a billet piece. I hope I don't have to do anything as involved as this, but if it is ever necessary, then I also would be tearing the engine down. You will have a fantastic car when it's all back together. Again thank you for sharing all this information.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 5 месяцев назад

Welcome to the Porsche world and I hope you enjoy that Carrera! Please reach out if you'd like a particular video about this car.

@Phasterphaster 4 месяца назад

My ‘87 Carrera smoked very badly when I bought it in 1997. It had 68k street miles, stock motor, stock exhaust, never been opened. Waiting in line at the hand car wash on Sundays, it spewed plumes of blue smoke, it was relentless. I thought for sure my valve guides were shot. Then I began tracking the car and I removed the stock exhaust and catalytic converter. No more blue smoke! I have a theory that the stock U.S. exhaust with cat retains excessive heat and damages the exhaust valve guides. Mine, mysteriously, appeared to “heal.” 50k redline track miles and two decades later, still going strong with good leak down #s. I suspect the exhaust valve guide materials is fine until you added U.S. emissions and a catalytic converter.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 4 месяца назад

I wish mine was a self healing Carrera! My previous Carrera came to me with a punched out cat and I had to source another to pass smog. I noticed the cylinder head and oil temps were noticeably higher when running with the cat. I think you are right that the higher temps are hard on the valve guides. I've also read that cylinders 2 and 5 are the hottest and mine failed on number 5. My cat is allegedly sitting on a shelf awaiting the next smog date.

Never boring over at your garage Tom. Sorry about your engine situation but selfishly I am hoping to benefit from your misfortune. This video is very timely as my 86 engine is burning oil and I do suspect it will be worn valve guides. Would appreciate any details about the replacement guides you use and the machine shop & costs . I’m thinking that shipping my heads to a Porsche specialist /experienced machinist will be the best option as there are not any competent shops in my area that I would trust. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to share your experience with us. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Happy to help. I don't view this as misfortune. It is more par for the course with old cars. I'm a sucker for a good deal and I knew going in to this car that it had a problem. I'll share the machine shop details in the next video after I get them back.

@richardh1773 6 месяцев назад

Hi Tom, it would be prudent to pull the chain housings and replace the chain guides since you’ve gone this far. You’ll also be able to make sure the housings have a proper seal. Too bad about the usage of the RTV on the valve covers. I have picked chunks of that crap out of the oiling holes in Porsches before.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it. That was something much harder than RTV. Hopefully it's not lurking in other places. I'll flush the oil cooler and see what comes out.

@keithwilliams3228 5 месяцев назад

A comment on the rocker shaft seals. They were not used in the design. They came out during RSR racing. A new gasket kit does not come with them. It’s a good idea to use them.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, I mistakenly thought these rocker seals were standard for 3.2L like the Turbo valve covers. Seems like they should be there. I will install them in this week's video.

@GiddyUp964 6 месяцев назад

Like this mystery tear down videos. If you keep all head studs, when you reinstall heads after rebuilding is the torque of head bolts same as if new studs were in place? Porsche torque procedure is two steps, initial torque, then with dial gauge, a certain amount of turn? Is that still the process for you as the stud threads would not stretch like they did new?

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

I prefer a standard torque of 24 ft-lbs. The reason is that I want to retorque them again anyway after 500 miles. The angle method isn't very practical. The studs do not permanently stretch, so either method would work with reused studs, but I prefer the older way.

@k708388 6 месяцев назад

HEY MERRY CHRISTMAS

@johnfalkenstine8377 6 месяцев назад

no seals go in the rocker shaft grooves as far as I know. You actually locate the rocker shaft by feeling for the grove with a feeler gage to locate it correctly. When you tighten the shaft it swells up slightly and this makes the seal. Setting the valve timing with the dial indicator all had to be done at a terrific rate of speed as a dealer mechanic. Factory assembly quality in the seventies was not good. Often they came from the factory with loose head studs.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

That's correct, a common upgrade is called the RSR seals which do help with oil leaks in this area. I mistakenly thought that Porsche put these on later engines.

@silverc4s146 6 месяцев назад

Reassembly technique on the last top end rebuild seems to have been a bit sloppy. The rocker shafts, overtorqued or loctitie head bolts, etc. may have caused some top end oiling problems that contributed to the valve guide wear. Good luck avoiding all the while you are in theres on your project.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

I'll do my best. Not sure I follow your logic about oiling problems associated with locktite or rocker shaft torque .

@dra911 6 месяцев назад

Nicely done! Enjoyed the length of the video. No issue to my mind in using a superior material where available. Are worn valve guides a big issue on 3.2's in general? Heat is the enemy? Merry Christmas and thank you for all the great videos this year.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Yes, the heads run pretty hot. Some materials are better than others. Valve guides became a problem in the late 80's and 90's. This coincides with Porsches financial troubles.

@dra911 6 месяцев назад

After I wrote you, I did some research on the topic. I was aware that 2.7s suffered from the problem (among other things) but not the later 3.2 and even 3.6s! My own 3.0 had a top end rebuild not that long ago (previous owner), but I'd have to check the invoices to see what that exactly entailed.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

It doesn't leak combustion pressure from the valve guide it leaks from the valve seat. This happens when the valve guide can't hold the valve concentric and the seat wears rapidly.

Using cylinder leakage you should have been able to find the problem

@PetesWorkshop 6 месяцев назад

The cylinder leak down test did identify the problem. Once you determine the valve seat is leaking the only way forward is to remove the head.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 6 месяцев назад

Here's the thing I learned about the leak down tester. When the engine was in the car with full exhaust and catalytic converter the air sound coming out the exhaust was barely detectable. There is a long distance from cylinder #5 to the single exhaust outlet. The air rushing around the exhaust seat vibrates the head fins and kind of sounds like a leak at the head to cylinder interface. So the air sound can be a bit tricky to diagnose where it's coming from. The closer you can put your ear to the problem area the better.

@billswim 6 месяцев назад

I'm putting my money on poor craftsmanship on the previous shop's "rebuild" Doesn't look like they replaced the valves and those valve guides don't look like they have only 20k miles on 'em. The locktite on the head studs and not enough sealant on the cam boxes indicates someone with little to no knowledge/experience with these motors. Also barrel nuts on the cam boxes look like they're in the wrong spot. I'd hope for a look at the rebuild sheet to see what they replaced and charged the PO for. if they charged them for rings you're going to need to look again. Those alusil cylinders don't just a take a new set of rings and seal.

I don't know if anyone has said this before... but your video is very over-exposed and washed out, your audio is way hot and you're clipping audio on the high end. I think there is interesting stuff here, but this content is difficult to watch for mostly technical reasons (technical filmmaking). However, as an enthusiast of engine mechanics... the details matter. Technique matters. The bulk of your viewers and potential viewers are here to witness the art of working on particular engines. IMHO, your experience will be better received with more professionalism in mechanical process as well as appearance-- working on a super dirty engine in a cluttered garage, with low grade equipment and tools, diminishes the experience greatly. Watching you grind the Allen-key with goggles that scratched-up made me want to leave the room. You will have a large following with some improvements.
