Removing the Roxsters blown engine - Porsche 986 Boxster track car build 3

[@DAGGWOOD139]

Jeff’s Roxter T-shirt design should just have a slogan that says “ that’s not right!”

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, that is an understatement.

[@stuartd9741]

Or ! Aaaaand. _The engines gotta come out AGAIN!!_ This applies mainly to the Alfa. But appears to happen quite frequently on Jeff's projects lol.

[@alienpoker]

*There’s yer problem

[@mfl950]

You made my night, oil in the exhaust, water in the block....I laughed too hard , yep something not quite right

[@PedroFTeixeira]

Jeff deserves to have more subscribers... This comment is to help KZbin algorithm to promote this video.

[@martinrodgers6114]

My sympathies, Jeff. Replaced water pump on my wife's old Boxster and know what a headache working on those cars can be! Will follow along with interest.

[@sportshatch]

It would be great to see the engine pulled apart Jeff. Always good to know what went wrong.

[@bigcus8176]

Someone went to extraordinary lengths to make this car as tasteless as possible in every possible way. It’s amazing. A real achievement. 😂

[@pauldaly3589]

You have amazing patience, great to watch your videos.

[@MrKombiman]

You didn't kill it, you prepared it for a better life!

[@OzGecko]

Laughed so hard when it spat that gut full of oil out of the manifold :) Look forward to you bringing this poor, abused soul back to life,

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that ;)

[@Spangarangg]

Looks like you forgot to drain the muffler fluid beforehand! 😂

[@rawali1]

Hahah that sounds like a good chrisfix april fools video

[@nickmassey9104]

At least theres some parts of the engine you can sell and the body kit Looking forward to a big engine conversion

[@seanmcgrath2202]

Try sticky tape on the lid of your parts box. When you’ve finished that job, pull it off and replace ready for next time. No cleaning.

[@thomasmurphy5906]

That was definitely entertaining, thanks for all of the laughs Jeff

[@ppx4243]

Probably has blinker fluid in the battery cables. Looking forward to watching this baby become a track beast. Needs a Bridgeport 13b twin turbo.

[@jasoncraggs6353]

To go with the seats ?

[@ppx4243]

Jason Craggs ?

[@jasoncraggs6353]

@@ppx4243 - the car has a pair of RX8 seats in it.

[@ppx4243]

Jason Craggs haha, nice one, I didn't notice.

[@michaelf6710]

Come on! A few head bolts ... aren’t you curious? Because we are! Great fun vid - even my wife was laughing along as she saw wrong stuff coming out of wrong holes!

[@AwesomeFPV]

Pushing your car... Mrs Jeff is a keeper!

[@alanpaulick7815]

Enjoyed the tear down, water and oil 🤣 you rock hey

[@wademade568]

You’ve had some funny moments over the years Jeff. But the oil out of the exhaust and the water out of the motor had me crying with laughter!

[@alienpoker]

Best blooper reel *ever*. Jeff’s reaction was priceless.

[@LushmanGB]

You made the engine removal look so easy. Keep up with the great videos

[@VolV8]

Impressive how centralised the engine is located. I can see the track day potential. In keeping with the Italian engine (Ferrari) in Italian car body (Alfa), I'm guessing Audi V8 into Roxstar ✌️😁

[@crabapple1974]

Have always had a dream of fitting a variant of the coyote engine in a boxster. There are some high revving variants and they can be modified easily.

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

V8s in Porsches are my favourite kind of blasphemy. Apparently some Audi V8s bolt onto some porsche transaxles, so that would be dope

[@marcmigneault8364]

You need a baffled oil pan and an Accusump. And run an extra liter of oil on the track in your next engine. Keep up the good work!

[@Malcarper]

Jeff......... Please tear down the engine soon, or at least take the heads off, as we all want to see the carnage inside.

[@imouse3246]

It's true that we want to see it, but is it really worth Jeff's time, when he has moving forward on his mind?

[@vaklaf700]

​@@imouse3246 yes, it probably wont take too much time and its also good idea for video

[@dudeonbike800]

Oh boy, down the rabbit hole we go!!!!

[@onepairofhands]

was that a Latte or Cappucino that came out of the exhaust ? - admire your enthusiasm Jeff - good work

[@billblack658]

Jeff sounds like "D Chunk" problems in one cylinder, which did happen on M96 engines, particularly with an engine that has suffered over heating problems which more than likely happened on your engine when the radiator ducting was blocked off. Cylinder wall broken through to a water gallery hence coolant in the sump. Piston probably destroyed allowing oil to the cylinder head and into the extractors if the exhaust valve was open. And all the shrapnel would lock the engine solid. That's my guess.

[@B3owulf1000]

My guess for the failure is hydraulic lock caused by AOS failure. Air oil separator membrane failed and allowed the intake to pull oil from the crankcase into the intake manifold. good luck with the build! looking forward to it!

[@jaydeedubau]

This happened to my 98 Boxster. Upon further investigation, it was a spun piston that impacted the spark plug creating a hole on the top of the piston. It would be cool to see what caused your catastrophic failure.

[@SteveGrin]

LS Swap is always the answer

[@steveschriefer2733]

Well, at least you have a box of engine replacement parts? I look forward to what you have in store for this one. Strip it down, paint it in vintage racing livery. I want you to do the Pink Schwein, but Gulf, Martini, Jagermeister, or even a John Player look would be equally cool. It will be interesting to see what you do with the engine.

[@alienpoker]

This. JPS - Black & Gold. Would look good, but with a nod to the original ugly. I loved the Fittipaldi Lotus F1 car back in the day. Please get Mrs. Jeff to do some classic racing livery segments.

[@wilsonng911]

A nice candidate for a small block Corvette V8 engine👍👍😁😁

[@arthurquinlan3862]

Brake cleaner for the sharpie. Or acetone. Both work like a charm

[@elipil9300]

My god, what a task mate!

[@jasoncraggs6353]

The three odd minutes of footage from the six minute time point is absolute comedy gold. Thanks Jeff - really enjoyed this one. Hope you get round to breaking down the paperweight - I hate a mystery. If the pistons and valves are still there then how did all that oil get into the exhaust manifold ?

[@Karbonpete]

It had nothing to do with years of abuse Jeff, my near new Boxster (at the time) couldn't handle a commute from Collins Street to Kew via the Yarra Boulevard (in 1999 from memory). Porsche came to the party with an engine rebuild but it took a lawyers letter to make it happen.

[@jaskobut9335]

Today is 2021

[@fredericrike5974]

Well, toast it is! I generally like mine before it's been flipped off on to the floor though. A few missing screws and bolts form the panels wouldn't have bothered me overmuch- missing bolts from the engine/transaxle are a major red flag. Been on board for a while now- not going away just when it is getting good! Best to you and Mrs. Jeff!

[@hotdognr12323]

It has to be either a headgasket or a cracked head/block. A quick teardown, just removing the head on the offending side would be fun to watch. Looking forward to tis car's next chapter!

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Go on Jeff, you know you want to split it to just confirm your diagnosis 😉

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Had the same issue with my 2000 Boxster S!!!!

[@ritchiesteuns2291]

I have the 2,7 and love to ride him, hope you restore the car 🙏 better put a 3,2 S in it... I am curries what you gone do 🤔 I think it’s the IMS ore a chaise is broken .. keep up the good work 🛠

[@andrevanderheyden7356]

Thumps up for the sharpy,but how get it off your thump?

[@confused47]

I needed a good laugh tonight, this definitely didn't disappoint! Thank you! I can fully understand why you can't be bothered to pull it apart, but we'd really love to see what's gone wrong!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I will pull it apart. Just that day I had had enough ;)

[@kiwihame]

Oh dear... Jeffrey. I've never either of those things come out of either of those places before.😳 Told you it was a Poxster.... can't wait for the full forensic investigation. An opportunity in disguise? There are some pretty cool V8 Boxsters on KZbin. 😁

[@shan4292]

Here’s your chance to remove an IMS bearing without worrying about messing anything up : )

[@mclarenjohnf1]

That was new oil coming out of the exhaust like that, then the amount of water before any oil from the sump, The way the idiots had blocked the air flow to the rad it was amazing it was still driving to be honest, If that track is as bad as that I would hazzard a guess you will be requiring a dry sump system.

[@misterplow1]

Rockster is full of surprises!

[@Scou73r]

another suggestion for the parts box is to use some masking tape instead of writing on the box. I prefer the green or blue variety.

[@_Bram]

I think a cilinder cracked. The water got in the sump and the oils floats on top of the water. That way the oil could get to the exhaust through opened valves.

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

This will be really interesting.... 😊

[@diego646464]

Hey Jeff ! I’m a big fan! You should wear glasses when you mess with hydraulics, especially above your head. That stuff can seriously damage your eyes !!!

[@timbavester7336]

For sure a LS swap coming. Another great Video always look forward to seeing them. Keep up the great content.

[@stuartd9741]

Personally I think the LS route is too heavy. And not traditionally Aussie? I reckon a "Barra" straight 6 thou that be bit tight length wise. But is the traditional Aussie big power route.....

[@1one3_Racing]

Its obviously done a head gasket and by the amount of water in there I'd say its been gone for a while. Water doesn't lubricate as well as oil so that would have really helped seize the engine.

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

Jeff, can't wait to see the LS3 or Subaru engine swap coming up...ha ha ha!

[@khestehave]

Finally! I’ve e been waiting for this!!

[@graemelliott3942]

Hope you keep tearing it apart! Would like to know what made it blow up!

[@hcr-motorworks]

If I could be half as happy as you are when you run into major problems like that I'd be doing good haha

[@alienpoker]

Wasn’t a fan of the roxster, I could tell it was a beater by what the previous owner had done cosmetically. I think you killed it so you would have an excuse to for an engine upgrade. It’s toast. A forensic teardown (in this case an autopsy) would be fun to see someday. 🤪

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I may get around to pulling it down at some stage, but by the time I finished pulling it out, I couldn't be bothered :D

[@andrewturnock5665]

I’m with Alienpoker - am very curious to know whats failed in there.

[@bluein2red423]

That Sharpie tip though!

[@Duaneoca]

I have a buddy that’s a chemist, and they use sharpie all the time on their glassware. Apparently acetone cleans sharpie really well. :)

[@nerner67]

I really want to see what happened inside that engine, I have never seen oil poor out of an exhaust like that. Would love to see you strip it down at some stage.

[@chrisjt7346]

Wooo was waiting for you to start work on this one. Jeff you going to respray it as well?

[@dank5432]

Get the impact gun out and rip the engine apart!

[@jdmfreak22]

Literally laughed out loud when you asked if the radiator hoses would be full of exhaust! LMAO!

[@Duaneoca]

The hoses appeared rather empty, so they were at least full of air!

[@timosariwating8655]

Subaru has entered the chat... Along with the twins: left and right turbo.

[@denniscliff2071]

That is how Porsche keeps the muffler bearings lubricated.

[@mooniksiz]

IPA (isopropyl alcohol) is cheap and easy Sharpie removal way.

[@b3nny90]

Thats some serious signs of a cracked block. Possibly caused by the oil starvation spinning a bearing and knocking a rod or material through the block

[@davidgray5583]

Mate. It’s the rules of the inter tubes. We got to know what is going on inside after those engine removal shenanigans;-)

[@Steve-jq4st]

It hurts to see the state of that Boxster given I own a 987s in great condition for its age. Hopefully you can get it back to some form of respectability. On the subject of the replacement engine a 3.2/3.4 litre would be great. At the moment it reminds me of a mistreated abandoned dog.

[@richardswain9143]

Jeff, please pull the engine apart. We’d all love to know what has failed.

[@jettech1041]

Jeff when are you going to get the UGLY OUT OF THE ROXSTER? Poor girl deserves a facelift ASAP!! 🤣😁

[@jakefunny1]

That poor m96, definitely take it apart and show us what broke or I'll have to do it for you ;)

[@maxcarter970]

I literally laughed out loud when that runny poo came out of the sump.

[@peaktraveller]

Interesting vid just like many of the others

[@MarkSawatsky]

We had a 2001 Boxster that we raced for years and never had an oil starvation problem, not sure what caused yours to pop

[@richardbeaumont5358]

Nice one Jeff, your engine has shit itself and you're still smiling ;) Keep up the great work. It wasn't mentioned in your video but I assume the manifold bolts came out ok which is a bit of luck?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thankfully roads in Aus are never salted, so it is usually not too bad.

[@fpaoli508]

It looks like a broken piston, but very rare on aspirated cars. May be a very bad hole on the head or heads...Look carefully the bottom, if you run the engine a good milage with that much of water in the sum is no good 😢 I think a Hayabusa engine would fit there just fine 🧐🤓

[@goodq]

Pleaseeeeeeeee take it apart. I am dying to know how did you get so much oil in the manifold

[@ToasterCoasterAdventures]

time for an audi v8 swap, Im part way through doing one

[@Therealstubetube]

Rather than a Sharpie, use a dry erase marker on your parts boxes.

[@abdulkareemrainers3142]

Oil in the exhaust 🤔 that might be a top gasket🤷🏼‍♂️

[@koolkar55]

Another LS V8 conversion coming up?

[@TheRealToybox]

Psh very reason why I ended up getting a BMW 🤣 still loves theses 986s tho

[@garethsworkshop]

Jeff i am guessing ez30 twin turbo?

[@rona1144]

Oh yes take it apart and see the carnage 👍

[@neilmchardy9061]

A guess, head gasket blown between bore, water jacket and oil gallery, it’s hydraulic seized bent rods etc, that’s my three pennies worth.

[@robertd4797]

So will it be ready by the morning?

[@JethroBronner]

Jeff you’re a braver man than I...

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha. Just glutton for punishment ;)

[@steveschriefer2733]

Jethro, anyone who has been to your channel knows better than that. You'd just pull on your pants and get at it just like Jeff.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

@@steveschriefer2733 That is very true. I seem to remember a full rebuilt engine pulled back out of a car soon after assembly... ;)

[@paulthreesixty]

We've got an alfararri on the way, what about porscheghini?

[@rodn5616]

Remember when you didn't have a lift Jeff?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I try to block it out ;)

[@Talasas]

I got the same borescope from Ebay and realised their field of view is way too narrow on the lens for use in an engine.

[@300DBenz]

I might be just a small town Midwestern mechanic, but I don’t think an exhaust pipe is supposed to have chocolate milk in it...

[@garethjones2434]

Strip it strip it strip it!

[@GarageItYourself]

Hmm, so Subaru EZ36 or the boat anchor better known as an LS 😀

[@jamest5149]

I would guess the breather gave up and allowed oil to be dumped into the inlet manifold and drowned two cylinders and hydraulic locked the engine

[@stuartd9741]

As Jeff said cracked piston. Possibly broken valve head. Oil would pump straight through the inlet port via the valve guide.?

[@greggarnham8497]

I'd suggest maybe you've cracked the head, between the oil gallery and water jacket, in the exhaust port. Compression would have pushed oil and water where they don't belong. Pretty common to damage one cylinder, and have the other 5 grind it to death. You'd say it was a piston, but that's pretty rare on a N/A engine. I assume it seized the crankshaft from trying to lube the big ends and mains with coolant !

[@musclecarczarig4003]

Well, that was entertaining!

[@sweenep86]

Porsche would call this “fuched” 😂

[@khestehave]

I guess the old cliché of “a cheap Porsche is the most expensive car you can buy” rings true 😄

Is this what you get after a jiffy lube service 😂😂😂

[@lornechrystal5674]

[@pjvenda]

Jeff, please spare some time to take it apart, the Internet would really like to see what happened on the inside.
