I am 18 years old trying to revive a dead 944 with an LS with the help of my dad. I had to save this to my computer because I have no WIFI reception where my 944 is located. This is the best tutorial ever. Even a beginner like me can process what is actually going on.

Im so glad to that. You'll have some ups and downs, just stick with it and you'll learn a lot. In the end, you'll be happy with your accomplishments and the time with you dad will be priceless.

David, thank you for the great video! I have bought 1986 Porsche 944 two weeks ago with the damaged engine. Originally I was just going to LS swap it, but now I am considering the engine overhaul. It would make it a great project for myself and my 12 and 15 year old boys. They are all into cars... It brings some pleasant memories and nostalgia of working on cars with my Dad more than 35 years ago. My Dad is now 87 and when I asked him if he remembers us working on cars together, his reply was: "Of course I do, those were an excellent times!"

Water in oil is the oil cooler seals leaking (that uses water heat exchangers) they are notorious on NA 944 engines.

1:57 If you're having trouble finding the DME controller (I have a 1986 944): Check under the carpet on the front passenger floor, unscrew the four screws that hold in the wooden cover, and it should be staring right at you.

If you loosen that steering rack the steering shaft will slip out very easily . There is simply not enough slack for it to come out when the rack is bolted in . Make sure its loose when you try to reinstall it that will make your life more easy

Thanks for doing a difficult job made all the more difficult by documenting every step. I appreciate your efforts. Best of luck on the rebuild. BTW, I'd wager that your oil and coolant are mixing at the cooler rather than at the head. This is a known issue with these cars.

Steering shaft U-Joint is MUCH MUCH easier to get off if you LOWER the front Cross Member (a couple inches or let it hang off u-joint lightly) FIRST!

Good video. Painful watching you work on that steering joint. You were on the right track with the chisel, but need big flat screwdriver that just fits that slot and tap it in to spread it a tad. AND the loosen the rack thing. Pulled and installed my 944 turbo motor many years ago, before all the cameras.

to be honest I dont remember how long it too. I think about a week, maybe 2. Since it was my first time, it took longer and I kept going back to the Clark's procedures and any videos I could find (which weren't many at that time). Plus setting up the video shots and labeling everything took time too.

Dave I need you more than ever right now, I've tasked with a similar situation to you. You're videos are amazing and very helpful but, did you ever get your engine back in and get your car running. If you did, how hard was it to do? I have to know before I just go all willy nilly and take everything apart. Thanks Luke.

Thanks. I honestly don't remember, its been a few years. Im sure it took a few weekends. Since it was my first time doing it, I would read the procedure over and over, plus I was doing it on my own and videoing it. I'd say someone could do this in a single weekend especially if they have help. I relied on the Clarke's Garage procedures a lot.

I've read that it is possible, but I haven't tried. For the posts that I've found about it, the consensus is that its easier to drop it under. The only extra thing I had to get was taller jack stands.

Robert Stewart did you pull from top or bottom? I had to drop to floor than lift the body and slid the engine out on thick cardboard than lift it back up. I am rebuilding it now and then painting it so I have not started to get it back in. If you took off alt, ac, and steering try to angle the engine and pull it as far to the front of the car as you can to get past that torque tube.

I may have been able to get it off without removing the distributor cap, but it would have been harder. it was really tight with it off when sliding the engine forward off the spindle.
