Wrecked Porsche 356 - (Episode 9) Engine Removal & Teardown

[@pearville37]

You make so many of us envious that you can still work with your Dad, I would give anything to work with mine one more day.

[@samwallis7544]

Some of my best childhood memories are from when I “helped” my dad work on cars 😊. Starting at age 3 my job was to hold the flashlight and hand him tools, I’m so grateful he taught me almost everything I know when it comes to vehicle repair and maintenance! Sadly, most men of my generation have no interest in cars, a lot of them can’t even change a flat tire.

Thank you to Mr. Helt Sr for getting your son into this hobby, these videos are fun

[@utahyork3338]

Happy to see you and your dad working together. Treasure these moments. I sure remember the times fixing things with my dad.

[@elijahhodges4405]

Thank God for dad's who know what they are doing.

My pop (who shared his love of cars with me) has been gone almost 8 years. I'd give anything for one more afternoon hanging out. I was very pleasantly suprised to see how nice the insides of that motor were.

[@mafcawebmaster4237]

You make it look so easy :). Nice that your dad works on projects with you.

[@superbear617]

Fun video! It's great your dad is there to assist! Those pistons look pretty corroded, but the camshaft etc. look nice! You'll have to find a way to lift the car up some more to get the engine back in!! Can't wait for the next one!

[@renville68]

Great to see you and your Dad working on the engine together. I can see where you got your knowledge of cars from. Thanks for the upload Jerod 🙂👍

[@roypearce6968]

Nice so happy to your father help I see where you get work on car from. And your engine is not in real bad shape. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@llmikeyj1]

Love that little torque-multiplier for the flywheel bolt!

[@XORBob]

I see your dad is wears the same safety shoes as you! (I always laugh at that in your videos). Your videos are great fun to watch. Thank you

[@moudyblue]

I’ve been waiting for this 😅👍🏻

VW air cooled engines, which this "basically" is are so awesome to rebuild! You can actually rebuild one in your garage with zero machine shopping! My first car was a 66 bug and I learned so much rebuilding it in my parents garage. All I had was some tools and a book called "the complete idiots guide to VW engines" it was written by an old hippie in the 60s but man it covered everything in a understandable way!

[@robj2704]

Ferdinand Porsche set a trend in Germany that lasted many decades. The lightweight thin-metal automobile.

[@davidkempton]

Sandals in the shop--like father, like son! Take care of those toes! Hope you get back to the FJ soon.

[@TonFordMustang]

AGAIN VERRY NICE VIDEO

[@kennycarson1960]

So cool that you get to work with your dad.

[@tedted5767]

Love these cars ,could never afford to own one, but would happily owned a crashed one and make it better.

[@johnapel2856]

Neat! You can really see the differences between the Porsche engine and a VW engine. It's not just a hopped up bug. Thanks, and Woof to Walter. And Hi Dad!

[@akokarski]

I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but you can take one of the rear wheels off, then you can slide engine sideways instead of out back, and the shroud/generator carbs would have more head room going through the wheel well.

[@JakobKsGarage]

Thanks a lot. Nice video. But where's Walter? 😉 Experiencing some sputtering carbs on my own 356 at the moment, but everything else works, so not going to do a engine pull this year.

[@robj2704]

Definitely more complex than the air-cooled Beetle.

[@vayabroder729]

Oh dear God! I see they blocked the air intake on the back of the fan housing with an aftermarket oil cooler. That’s a no-no. Seems like you might have to service the transaxle as well. Looks like you only need the heads reworked, maybe pistons and cylinders and new bearings and you’ll be set.

[@samwallis7544]

Holy crap, it’s a hemi!

[@vwcoco]

Love this Porsche , any chance of passing it over to me in the U.K. :) excellent work on body and engine will be a doddle 👍

[@Jerod_Helt]

I don't plan on selling this one😁

[@vwcoco]

@@Jerod_Helt don’t blame you 👍

[@juanlopezcuspinera1010]

Órale los por siempre me han gustado Y este modelo es el más bonito Y qué le hiciste al Ford T?. Saludos desde Xalapa Ver.México 🤟🛵🏍🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@TH75767]

At the 1:10 mark…where did you place the jack for a single point lift (getting both back wheels up). I’m working on the car in a shipping container (storage) and can’t get a jack to the drivers side easily.

[@Jerod_Helt]

I put the jack under the “U” shaped mount that’s between the engine and the transmission

[@darpagluma3763]

Hey man, I'm currently stripping my 356 B engine and I got to the flywheel gland nut. I've used the breaker bar (w/ 4ft steel tube) with no success. I see you're using the gland nut removal tool and as much as I want it, I have a hard time spending $130 on a tool for 1-2 uses. I may have to get it though. Did you try this flywheel nut on your own before using this tool? I just need it to work if I spend that much..

[@Jerod_Helt]

I’ve been able to get them off in the past with a good impact gun. But you really need that tool to torque it when you put it back on.

[@schnell356]

Looks like you have a 1965 912 engine. Close but not exactly the same as a 356 engine. Order parts accordingly...

[@ToughShiftGarage]

What did you use to clean the engine case

[@Jerod_Helt]

Superclean

[@MrMarkusmarc]

Was the car under water?

[@Jerod_Helt]

No

[@ronpackwood8772]

👍👍✌️

[@fduran4826]

Too fast! Good video anyway.

[@JakobKsGarage]

You can adjust the play back speed to 0.25 if you want. Sound gets a little strange though.
