Vin Got SCAMMED. 402,000 Mile Porsche 911 Hot Rod Build!

It happened: the king of buying, selling, and trading cars got played. If you play the game long enough, it’s bound to happen. What was originally advertised as a 102k 911, turned out to be a 400,000+ mile 911. Oddly enough… we’re even more into it now.

The Allen key you used has rounded tips for removing bolts at an angle, it's very nice for these occasions but when you can get straight in like that, use a normal tip Allen, it will have way more contact surface and not just 6 little dots of contact around that "ball" shaped tip.

[@jaylloydsklassix9234]

Interesting video. I have been a Porsche tech for 49 years and I normally can get both headers off of a real rusted system within 30 minutes. You also did not center the hole for your new stud on the one you had to drill out the head. Also I can get those oil tubes off in 15 seconds without your complex system of doing it especially as you where installing new ones. Never undo exhaust nuts anywhere on the system without using proper torches. You just made so much more trouble for yourselves. Good luck with the car as I agree with you on the high mileage. Keep trying and never give up...

I'm an engine builder at a porsche restauration company in germany, my first thought was don't try to fix an oil leak on these things it most certainly will end in an engine rebuild. The first problem are those head studs. And to replace the oil drain pipes you have to remove the cam housings. Don't use the collapsable oil pipes they tend to leak rather quick. Best tip for working on an porsche engine, always remove it from the car, it only takes you 20 minutes and makes everything so much easier. And another tip, use time-serts instead of heli-coils, they are way stronger and cleaner in my opinion.

[@jrumiano]

Nice car. You should have used a carbide bit on a rotary tool to cut a vertical slot (right before you hit threads) into the barrel nuts, Then you use s chisel and a hammer to open the barrel nuts. Once you do that, they come right off. I have an 85 911 which is an east coast and has seen some weather (before I got it). All if the barrel nuts were rusted to the point that an Allen key would not bite. I used a Dremel and several carbide bits to cut the barrels. I didn't break a single stud!!. Regarding the oil drain tubs these two piece units are aftermarket. The original tubes are one piece (which require the heads to be removed) in any case crushing the old ones to get them off is the way most mechanics do it, quick and easy (unless you're not reusing the tubes replaced replaced o-rings). Good luck with the car!
