HOW TO: PORSCHE 911 Cylinder Head Rebuild (PART 2)

[@laapulsford]

I feel the opening of the show was a tad dangerous.

[@ManinaGarage]

Well, if anything went wrong it WAS your idea 😉

@@ManinaGarage Yeah, I thought you might say that!

So much respect for the channel. Spent my career in psychiatry and appreciate your struggle. And then to produce high quality videos on top of that makes your channel incredible.

[@tonysoprano7425]

Which struggle? His OCD cleaning or the ADD with the side projects or just all that fire

Hilarious opening! I too thought that orange cable was a bit close to the flame. 😱 Nice work with the wire wheel; you’re definitely looking for that factory new look for sure! Looks like I’ll have to step up my game. 🤔 Thanks for the plug again! So glad you’re finding good use for it. 🍻

I have rented a howitzer and a safety team for this weeks episode. 💂‍♂️Nice knowing you 🥲

Really enjoyed the Rube Goldberg air compressor setup. And things really escalated quickly at the end 🤣 Keep up the great work!

Wow! Sorry you had to go through that 😅. Glad to have you on board 🙌 Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@Stefan_the_sailor]

Had to orbit back to this video as I’ve got a spare 928 engine and recalled your tips for the 996 heads. The 928 head is similar just add 8 more valves. Thanks again. PS 928 heads had 4 valves all the way back in 1986-7 ;). I’ll see if the ignitor method works for me when complete 😮!

[@ManinaGarage]

That is a great update 🙌 One of those V8 928 beasts are on my bucket list (straight pipe, stick shift 🙏) They were ahead of their time in so many ways 🤖 Others have mentioned how similar these heads/variocams resemble those in Audi engines 🤓 Thank you for watching 🤘😎

10/10 intro, keep up the good work!

The message I'm getting is MORE explosions 🥳 This could get interesting 🤓 Thank you for watching Reio!

[@sgttombailes3380]

Loved it !! You could have used some Tannerite~~ hehehe!!

[@ManinaGarage]

Just the word “Tannerite” makes me happy 😈. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@warrenlucier5796]

Isopropyl alcohol works well for the valve sealing test you were conducting also. Looks like your almost home with the rebuild and best with it.

[@ManinaGarage]

That's a good idea Warren, the Alcohol would be easier to handle than a gas can. All the tests were done with brake cleaner, I ran out and used gasoline for the actual intro, it was a little more energetic 🥳🧯. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@jimf5160]

ATF is what most people use in checking for valve seat leaks... FWIW, when the head is apart is a good time to check to see if your valve springs still have the specified pressure at the installed height. those shims adjust the spring pressure at the installed height.

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello JimF, I really appreciate you sharing your experience 🙌. People reading this these comments will be able to pick up some extra wisdom. Sadly I did not know testing valve springs was a thing 🤪, I found this online "Proform Mini Valve Spring Tester" is that the kind of tool you are talking about? The heads are already put back together, hopefully everything is ok 🤞🏻. I will get one of these tools for next time if you think it's the right one. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@jimf5160]

@@ManinaGarage yes. the proform is typical. That way you can test spring pressure at your installed height and use those shims if necessary, to have the same seat pressure on all the valve seats. Valve springs do lose pressure over time and unless the car has low miles, replacement is a good idea. You would test spring pressure at the installed height and spring pressure at full lift.

[@bernardmclake3898]

Nice work yet again! Didn't the valve seals include 1 or 2 little caps? They'd go over the valve stem ends after the valves are fitted and cover the grooves thus protecting the seals from damage when they are fitted.

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello Bernard, KZbin had an issue with the link within your comment, they put you in quarantine for a couple of days and then removed the link 😂. Short answer is no, they just came in plastic bags with 8 seals each. I did not know a seal protecting cap was a thing 🥺. Thank you for the heads up 🤘😎

Hiii 😅❤️👍🌸 Looking fantastic as allways 👍🙏🏻 Porcshe, oil, bullets, guns, steak and beer that is all about 😅😅

Steak and Beer sounds pretty good, I'll try not to blow my fingers off 💣🧯. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@MrDesmonick]

Another awesome video! It's getting to the point I'm hoping my 996 motor has an issue 😅 In case my car us reading this, that's a joke!

[@ManinaGarage]

Just in case your car DOES read this and feels it needs to spend more "Quality" time with you....I am happy to answer any question you may have or point you in the direction of someone who can. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@williamhughes1925]

Hi Finn really getting into the build can’t wait for the next episode! Did you skim both heads and if so why? Also did you use a thicker head gasket or standard? Cheers Will

[@ManinaGarage]

Howdy William 🤠, The machine shop said that the heads were in really good shape, they took off 3/1000ths from each head to cleanup/flatten the surface. Their determination was that the heads had not suffered any warping due to overheating, the skimming was a minimal amount. I ended up using the standard 3 layer head gasket. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@tombannister3646]

I kept on expecting the orange cable to melt 😅

[@ManinaGarage]

Probably not the smartest idea, certainly got my heart pumping though 😁 Thank you for watching 🙌😎

@@ManinaGarage Have I learned on your channel that the 964s and 993s only had two valves per cylinder? My 928 S4 and GTS and both of my 968s have already had 4 valves per cylinder

[@ManinaGarage]

@@palatinaworks7251 100% correct sir, the 928 that was intended to replace the 911 had four valves per cylinder long before the 911.

[@stewartnunn8179]

Hi. Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your videos. Very interesting and educational. (And entertaining ;-). Not sure what you do as a profession but if it isn't making video content, it should be ;-). Anyway, I'm considering rebuilding a 997.1 engine and am trying to find some info re piston ring end gap. (Whatever that is) Just wondered whether you considered this or maybe it's not necessary with a stock set up? Looking forward to the next video.

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello Stewart, I may be able to dig into this a little more if this answer does not satisfy. For this car I purchased the stock rings to go with factory pistons in a factory cylinder. The advice I received stated that no gapping was required in this instance. For rings outside of that ,my understanding is that the gapping distance may be on the ring packaging itself. Are you re-sleeving or upgrading your pistons? Thank you for watching!

[@stewartnunn8179]

@@ManinaGarage No, that's a great help, thank you. I think I'm going to go down the re-sleeve route so am sure I'll get some advice from Hartech at the time, too. Thanks again and hope feeling better re your recent injury.

[@jameszaku1312]

Good evening, did you use oem porsche valve seals or aftermarket ones like Elring or victor reinz?

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello James, they came from pelican parts, they were not the Porsche ones, they were Elring . Thank you for watching. 🤘😎
