Great, calming video ~ despite the imagined drain on my poor savings account .Some other things to add to a shopping list are a few ( NOT inexpensive ) specialized assembly tools and an engine stand. Also the use of a test-stand is crucial ( rental ?) or you have build one yourself. Ah, the list grows...

Music too loud compared to your commentary

When I was doing this on a Porsche 356 restoration I felt like a cancer surgeon searching for a cancer free margin of the tumor.

That is a really interesting video, thanks for taking so much trouble. I have been trying everywhere to find the dimensions of the original and up grade batteries. All my questions solved with one video. I like the idea of the camera and light inside the engine bay to check the height, very clever.

1 billion dollars... trust me

Great job!

thanks for video !!!

Eternal rest grant unto them Oh, Lord.

Did you build that test stand? What components did you use?

Did I see an Aubergine 914 at the end of this video?

Wow, what a project! That is certainly not something I could ever do. Ps. You answered my question from Renslist. I’ll be checking with my local mechanic as I think I have a broken gear

Rust is evil june 2024

Impressive 😊

Thanks for the videos you make.....keep them coming!!

Just a word of advice. If you have a new cam please break it in when starting an expensive build. Don’t let it idle

Thank you for the effort and the excellent guide! 👏🚗🔧

Well done

Hello Thomas Otten, First let me introduce myself, I am Rolf M.Mol. Also a member of the Otten family, haha. You encourage me to pick up my old love again. I've had a 914 on the bridge for years (33) and every now and then I look at it. The body isn't in that bad shape, fortunately. If we keep in touch, that will encourage me to roll up my sleeves. Kind regards, Rolf M.Mol The Netherlands.

I have one to do in a month or so. These two videos have helped me greatly. I really appreciate you taking the time and not leaving anything out, even if it meant you had to go rework something to make it right. A+ for you sir!

Need to include the cost of the oil pump inspection, oil coolers being professionally cleaned and pressure checked and oil lines cleaned or replaced replaced. Would not want to get any old contaminated oil into a new engine. Nice video.

I also have the first exhaust on my 2 L 74 and I bought it from Garretson

Car-Freitag 🤣 Hallo Thomas! Ideale Zeit für die Wertschätzung Deiner Arbeit hochwertigen! Viele Dank fürs Teilen! Schaue mir ein Video nach dem anderen an! Liebe Grüße aus Freiburg Rainer

Great video,Very!, informative short and to the point. Thank you

I've got a 1985 3.2 liter motor that needs a rebuild 😅What's my price 👍

You mean only $7,600...😮wow, great price 👏 is this just for the parts ? Including labor ?🤔

Any update on this? Have you gotten fuel injection yet?

Very good video enjoyed seeing how you went about your rebuild I have a 1974, 911 with a 2.7 L engine and it has the magnesium engine case which I had to do upgrades on that engine case. I had to have case savers installed for the head studs and I installed new head studs, but I did not go with the head studs that are the racing grade I went with the standard aftermarket, steel studs. I did install new pistons and cylinders new timing chains and I upgraded the engine to, the higher output, oil pump with the oil bypass modification for that engine and other important thing is to find a Porsche a qualified machine shop, which I did in the state of Washington and the person that rebuilt my engine was a Retired Porsche Mechanic working out of the shop at his home which save me a lot of money. From what I’ve learned on Having, The, Engine, and Transmission rebuilt and replacing a lot of worn out parts on the car body. You should have a very good income and you should plan on having two wheelbarrow loads stuff completely full of disposable cash to spend on the project. Also to save yourself a lot of cash disassemble the engine yourself and take it to the machine shop and shop the Internet and source all of your parts. There’s a lot of the Internet companies that deal in Porsche Parts I shopped around four or five different companies define who had the exact part I wanted and purchased it at the cheapest price to help hold down the cost.

Thanks for the great video! Your phone is vastly superior to earlier recording, especially in the bass region. I have a stock 76 currently looking at this exhaust and the bursch. I was drawn to the Bursch for the lighter and shorter design, but this sounds quiet with mainly bass sound coming through.

So cool! Really appreciate your efforts. Thank you so much

Hallo aus Deutschland. Hervorragender Turnaround des Porsche. Ich genieße wirklich, was ich sehe. Tolle Arbeit wie immer! Ich liebe deine Videos auf jeden Fall und sie lehren mich immer. Vielen Dank für all die tollen Inhalte zum Porsche 911. Hello from Germany. Excellent turnaround of the Porsche. I really enjoy what I see. Great work as always! I definitely love your videos and they always teach me. Thank you for all the great content about the Porsche 911.

Hallo from Germany: 🙂 Sehr beeindruckend! Dieser Job ist viel aufwändiger, als ich es mir vorgestellt hätte, und er hat mich definitiv davon überzeugt, es nicht zu versuchen. Super gemacht! Very impressive! This job is way more involved than I would've imagined and it definitely convinced me not to try this. You did an amazing job!

Thanks for watching. Please thumbs up!

Be careful with wool pads they burn easily. I always use sponge pads to be safe. Nice job though well done.

Spannend! Mit großer Aufmerksamkeit verfolge ich nun bereits einige Zeit die Videos auf diesem Kanal. Von Video zu Video lerne ich mehr zum Thema: Porsche 911 Restaurierung. Jedes Mal sind informative und wertvolle Hinweise dabei. Egal ob es um den Porsche 911 oder Porsche 914 geht. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos. Gruß aus Deutschland #porsche #germany #bremen #restaurieren Exciting! I have been following the videos on this channel with great attention for some time now. From video to video I learn more about the topic: Porsche 911 restoration. There are informative and valuable tips included every time. No matter whether it's about the Porsche 911 or Porsche 914. I look forward to more videos. Greetings from Germany #porsche #germany #bremen #restore

Nothing...... Everything...

That's expensive to remove studs! Snap-On collet type stud remover and maybe a small propane torch if they were Loctited in. Couldn't possibly be any more difficult than the Yamaha's I've worked on. (and pretty similar to air cooled Beetle with two more cylinders) Working on SOHC and DOHC motors for 50+ years means they are simple to do (did you know Alfa Romeo flat four in Sud and others was designed by a former Porsche engineer who kinda told Porsche he could do things better) 60hrs seems a bit 'padded' for just a basic motor, motorcycles have transmission built in which means a lot more parts to be checked. I already have majority of tools and equipment needed, cam and Magnaflux I can't do though. Are the exhaust nuts the nickel plated brass ones that don't seize onto studs? (I generally make new ones, it's fun even though buying them is cheaper) Don't ARP make heavy duty stud kits? It's still substantially cheaper than the re-manufactured engines which seem to be around $25,000~$26,000

Danke, diese Fallbeispiele an einem Porsche 911 empfinde ich als sehr wertvoll. Besonders gefällt mir der unkomplizierte Umgang mit der Materie „Porsche Restauration“. Ich sehe in dem Clip viel positive Detailverliebtheit. In diesem Video ist der ganze Arbeitsaufwand wie Reinigen und Spachteln etc., nicht sichtbar: Die Fleißarbeit. Bin gespannt auf die Fortschritte und mehr Wissen + Unterhaltung. Weiterhin Viel Erfolg! Thank you, I find these case studies on a Porsche 911 to be very valuable. I particularly like the uncomplicated handling of the subject of “Porsche restoration”. I see a lot of positive attention to detail in the clip. In this video, all the work involved, such as cleaning and filling, etc., is not visible: the hard work. I'm looking forward to the progress and more knowledge + entertainment. Continued success!

Why would you not use painless dent repair on the smaller/less obvious dents? Seems like that would reduce the need to use filler.

Beautiful color 914 nice video I have a 73 palma green and 74 unrestored

Hugely useful video. Thank you.

Question. If you want to set the 123 Ignition to 10 Over tdc. How do you do that?

Wonderful. The perfect daydream fix on this cold, gray January day. Thanks very much for posting. Looking forward to more.

Answer: Usually more than people can afford, not to mention the condition of the transaxle and the rest of the car

What a beautiful piece of engineering in comparison to today's engines. Runs beautifully, thanks for sharing Thomas 🙂

Glad to see that you use an engine test stand in your build process. So many issues\items can be resolved\checked quite easily by running the engine outside of the car. Well done, Sir!

Beautiful Laguna Blue 914/6 in opening of video

How about he cost to rebuild a 914 engine? Thanks!

Simply great, this flair of an old Porsche 911 - and respect for the craftsman! Here an enthusiast is doing something remarkable. Really beautiful, and what and how they do it: for a beautiful car with a sustainable approach to their work. My respect - everything seems very committed and personal. You hardly find that today. I am looking forward to see more... #911 #Porsche #Cabrio #Restoration Einfach klasse, dieses Flair eines alten Porsche 911- und - Respekt vor dem Handwerker! Hier stellt ein Enthusiast etwas Bemerkenswertes auf die Beine. Richtig schön, und was und wie sie das machen: für ein schönes Autos mit nachhaltigem Ansatz bei ihrer Arbeit. Meine Hochachtung - alles wirkt sehr engagiert und persönlich. Das findet man heute kaum noch. Ich freue mich auf mehr... #911 #Porsche #Cabrio #Restaurierung

Thomas I am glad KZbin sent me your video; I appreciate the quality of your video and its clarity. I have a '74 2.0 with Webbers and recently put a new stainless steel tuned exhaust on it; It's not too loud and sounds healthy. I love to drive my car. It lots of torque. Winter 2022 was reworking the car at a friends in Tehachapi. It was a challenge to find a battery that fit. And a clip to secure it.. Like you I want better. I love driving my car everywhere: freeway road trips, in the city and mountain roads that are sometimes quite bumpy. Day or night, rain or shine. Summer and winter. My suspension is upgraded and run some sticky Japanese tires. It has 4-lug aluminum wheels. Really like the look of the Fuchs on your car. Some day have wheels like your on my car. Happy Holidays. I look forward to seeing your videos in 2024.
