are you sure that the torque reading is accurate with that extension? nice work anyway
@944restore17 күн бұрын
With the crows foot? I did my best to keep it at a 90 degree angle to minimize the change in length. If not then I am over torquing slightly as I didn't adjust my wrench

How would you remove the diff? Just pull it out after the input shaft?
@944restoreАй бұрын
Exactly right. After the main carrier (input shaft) is removed, remove the side cover and pull out the diff.

Good stuff. Pretty sure you shouldn't use Loctite 574 on the part with the paper gasket. 574 needs to have metal to metal contact to cure. Probably didn't hurt but it shouldn't be necessary. You could use something like a non hardening aviation gasket with a paper gasket.
@944restore2 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree! I am hopeful that it will still seal and that the only downside will be a massive headache scraping off that paper gasket if I have to disassemble it again.

Agreed. The early 944s had a seal as well. Workshop manual says it was discontinued in June, 1984.

Another one in the 944 gang, let‘s go. Really hope that your machine shop knew, that this is a silicon alloy block and you can not hone it with stones like normal alloy, and you have to etch the metal with a certain solution in order to properly hone it. There‘s Idiot shops everywhere that just hone it „normally“, and if that‘s what happened, you‘re in for a bad time. I‘m asking because of the cross hatch pattern that looks like a stone hone. Cheers mate
@944restore3 ай бұрын
Thanks. The shop is reputable and had quite a few 924/944/928 cars parked outside. I've never had an alusil block honed before so I didn't know what to expect. I might be in for a surprise.

@@944restorewere the bores scratched? What triggered the trip to the machine shop?
@944restore3 ай бұрын
Yep, 2 of the bores were scratched. I included pictures at the beginning of the video.
@machinistrrt3 ай бұрын
The original bore finishing process was less a honing operation, more accurately a lapping process where the aluminum is removed leaving the silicon.
@andreasbeier24312 ай бұрын
It‘s not quite lapping. I don‘t actually know how shops remove scratches from the bore, but when you have a decent surface to be refinished, the aluminum is etched away, exposing the silicon crystals, which are pretty low friction. I guess the honing marks might be from scratch repair before etching.

I think I used shore 70 or 80 when I did mine. Upon removal both mounts fell apart completely, so the before/after difference in driving experience was pretty drastic.
@944restore3 ай бұрын
That's great to hear it made such a difference. If I were to do it again I would choose a slightly harder urethane

@944restore it definitely increased transmission whine noise quite a bit, but I don't mind as I have a bit of a stripped down Clubsport theme to my car.
@davidkaehele89103 ай бұрын
If using the original hardware don't forget the girdle washers are cupped and need to go on in the correct way. If you look at your old rod bearings you should be able to see three scratches on each half (if they are not trashed) where Porsche used a micrometer to measure them. This is the difference between Glyco and Porsche branded bearings.
@944restore3 ай бұрын
That's a great tip about the washer orientation. I'll be sure to mention it in the next video. Thanks!

I wish I would have kept the old bearings to check for measuring scratches. They weren't too trashed.

The 944 content we need
@davidkaehele89104 ай бұрын
When you first broke out the green marker my first thought was "no. how do you know it was assembled correctly?" Thankfully you did not use the marker for reassembly! Later cars are 99% the same, I think the big difference being the washer is not a separate piece on later cars. The one thing you missed, didn't mention, was clocking the two cv joints against each other for maximum articulation. On the cases align narrow with wide.
@944restore4 ай бұрын
Ha! So true about not using the re-assembly marks. I guess at this point I shouldn't be surprised that something on this car wasn't assembled correctly. I don't remember reading about aligning the narrow with the wide in the workshop manual but that makes sense. Great tip, thanks!
