This Car Has More Problems Than I Thought! Porsche 912-6 

Yes, I agree 100%.

Thanks! I was so looking forward to driving it. I even adjusted my schedule around a rain storm, but just couldn't get there this week.

Thanks Jeff. I know I'm not alone. It just hurts to see such a cool car not get the love it deserves.

@@GarageTimeAutoResto So so true! Jag or Porsche.

Thanks Harvey, I tend to think things are easier than they are. After this many years, I should know by now, ha ha. "Waking up" is a fantastic term for this car. Good to hear from you!

As far as I can tell, the rubber fuel lines have never been replaced on this car, so I doubt the brakes lines have been replaced either. You think there are rubber bits floating around in the lines from the degraded master cylinder grommet?

@@GarageTimeAutoResto You are right. It may need a flush before hooking back up the calipers to get out the possible chunks..

Hope this video wasn't too negative. Sometimes there is suffering to make things great again. Best of luck on your restoration. My best advice is to walk away when it suffers. That's what I did in this video. Then come back to it fully charged.

@@GarageTimeAutoResto no negativity at all!😄 i know where the mind is in these moments🤯😉 thanks for your attention 🙏🏽 loving and ‘learning from’ your content every single time👊🏽

Thanks David! Soon I hope. I want to work on my 356!

Thanks! Will get there for sure.

Lets hope so!

Thanks Bob! The goal was to get this done in just a few weeks once the car arrived. I went slow with the engine on the test stand, but now I have MAC, my 911, at off site storage due to lack of space.

and congratulations on the 10K subscribers!!! :)

It's only metal as I often say. And everything is fixable. This project needs more than I expected for a quick turn around. Will just need to get it to a good handover point so you can enjoy some fun too! It's no fun having a perfect car.

@@GarageTimeAutoResto thank you tom!!!

That's what I was thinking. Good thing I checked for leaks before I fired it up because it sprayed right next to the spark plugs/wires and then dripped onto the headers. As a 912 that is the suction line, but still dangerous.

Cool, lots of ways to do this. Please check your fuel line in the engine bay! Major safety concern.

Thanks Harvey. I played around with the stock swirl pot from my car in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o1GWuAWAV0A.html I'm sure the carreras have the same or similar device to do as you say; Manage the bubbles from getting sucked into the fuel supply. On my car, I built a custom surge tank and fuel pump assembly inside the tank for best cornering performance and all that jazz. For Benji's car, I agree with you, it's best not to run it on "E" . When I added two more gallons, the car ran much better in this video. This might be on the future upgrade list after Benji gets some miles on it. Maybe i'll put my endoscope camera in there to watch the bubbles.

Ha ha, more beer! Maybe an extra quart or two. This oil tank has a dipstick in it, so it should be easy to check the level once everything warms up and circulates. Most important thing is the level in the tank needs to be several inches above the feed hose that goes to the engine at all times.

you're absolutely correct, martin! tom, what's your favorite brand of beer?

There is a ductile to brittle transition temperature for steels. Here's an example chart www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/iss/kap_9/illustr/s9_1_1.html This is how you can break a bike lock with liquid nitrogen and a hammer. It's pretty cold for most metals, but as the chart shows it's a curve. Steel is more ductile when heated to it's annealing temperature too. Not quite cherry red, but steel gets softer at around 500F Every time steel is bent past its yield strength it gets work hardened which also makes it more brittle. If you bend a paper clip it get's stronger. Notice how when you try to straighten a paper clip it always bends in a different place. If you straighten it too many times it just breaks. That's classic work hardening/brittle behavior. This bellcrank often gets bent because it sticks out so far. In this case I was the last guy to bend it back and was stuck with a broken part in my hand! I should have removed it first and straightened it on my bench, but that's the gamble we take. I LOST!

Ha ha, rust never sleeps
