Very good video. I especially liked your demonstration of the tensioner tool. I used a kayak strap to lock the flywheel to the engine stand so that I could loosen the crankshaft bolt. That worked a treat.

Hey Nicolas, thanks! I managed to use a few bits of metal and some threaded rod to create a brace. All resolved now

Hi Todd and warm greetings from Taiwan. Woah, cosmetically the engine certainly has come a long way since being removed from the car. Very very impressive indeed. Another excellent short video update, thank you. Much love, respect and regards from me here, until next time, stay safe.

4 video's a day, I'm catching up slowly but surely Great journey you are taking us on, really impressed how good engine is beginning to look in NZ there are quite a few 928's popping up forsale in all sorts of states, cost of living and interest rates making it a buyers market, these vids are giving me confidence to do some work on engine my self should the need arise

I better speed up video creation! Glad you are enjoying it, it’s a long journey…. I would always recommend to buy the best you can. I purposely bought the cheapest/worst for a reason (I want to go through this process) but be aware it’s an expensive route.

Hi Todd! This is Taiwan. The C washers are supposed to be stacked according to certain patterns. At least for my car. You can fibd the stacking pattern online. By the way... my engine is still in the car. this is a very big project to us. We can't losen the upper bell housing bolts. Have a nice weekend and thanks for documenting your work.

Hi Palatina, oh dear :( yes those bell housing bolts are awkward to get on. I was relatively lucky with those.

Hi Todd. Nice demonstrations! On the early 16v cars the RHS cam gear will always adopt that slightly "off" position at rest. My understanding is that the stretching caused by the crank when running under load pulls the that gear into the exactly correct positioning. German engineering at its most precise!
@MrToddgibbs2 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul! Good to know, it seemed impossible to get it spot on. Did you notice if I have it the correct way 'off'? or will mine go further out of tune with engine load ?
@paultucker49232 жыл бұрын
Mine is identical. The direction of the loaded belt would tighten it to the exact mark I would think. I guess it might be possible to check it with a strobe light, though that might take a bit of thought.

Hey Todd, be really careful cleaning that fuel distributor. Don't get any dirt and debris in it. Yes I would send it away for a rebuild. They are notoriously complicated...In saying that, if you rebuild it, please do a detailed vid on it and good luck with it. You look like you're having a great deal of fun on the build...kudos to you ! Marc

Thanks Marc, I will tread with caution - but I probably will take it apart and have a look :) I can always send it away (after I fail) !

Wonder if anyone tested at which frequency the cambelt vibrates when tensioned correctly. (That's the method I've used to tension correctly on earlier Lotus'es. It's easy and it doesn't take more 'special tools' than a mobile phone 🙂)

Can you do videos on all the belt installations? No one has done it
@MrToddgibbs4 ай бұрын
Hey, good suggestion. When I get chance yes :)
@gazfish3 жыл бұрын
Getting there, the tensioner should really be called a de-tensioner as the washers go flat with heat and it stops the belt overtightening when the engine expands. It’s interesting that even by the last cars in the early 90’s they never moved to a more modern system.
@MrToddgibbs3 жыл бұрын
Hey Gary, Ah, it slackens rather than tightens the belt? my bad and thanks for correcting :) Im holding off putting the cam covers back on in case I've forgotten something! got a few bits waiting to go on like that... But its the fuel meter for a while first....

Hi Todd , I am hoping to do the water pump , tensioner pulley and timing belt on my 928 s , 1984/85.Have all the parts but I have not been able to find the belt tension check tool , can you tell me where I might get one . Great work by the way 👍

Hi John, glad you are enjoying the videos and I’m impressed you are also working on your car! I got my tensioner from here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Belt-Tension-Tool-Porsche-928-78-95-/373766284769?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Thanks for watching!

You should have shown how to properly set the TDC since you always have to do that while replacing the belt.

Hi jimzoltan, thanks for watching! I thought I did -- Aligning T0 on the crank and the little markers on the cam pulleys. Maybe I didn't say what I was doing very clearly?
