Will This $50 Part Solve Our $30,000 Blown Motor Issue? (Cheapest Cayman pt.2)

Will we be able to fix the cheapest Porsche Cayman for just $50? We bought this car sight unseen at auction for dirt cheap with mechanical damage. We thought the motor was blown, but maybe it's a simple fix after all? We go for a first drive after the quick repair. We have bought so many cheap Porsche Boxsters and have gotten so lucky, so will out luck continue? Hopefully there is no bore scoring or IMS issues to come.

I love these buy-cheap-do a-little bit of-maintenance videos! On the one hand, I appreciate y'all aren't professional techs/mechanics and you're learning as you go, AND you do it with the absolute cheapest tools there are; but man, if y'all invested in a few more & quality tools, you would save yourselves so much time! Anyways, great content!

[@rauldeleon6728]

na

[@DiMzZ11]

This channel does not get enough views for what it is it deserves more credit

[@boyracer3477]

Great video! It's fun seeing you bring cheap Boxsters to life but I just like learning about your bootstrap diagnostics and repairs. I'm learning a lot.

[@suunyday5382]

yep

[@jadmann]

I replaced my AOS at 90k. It was a huge PIA. Extremely difficult because of the limited snd restricted mid-engine space to with in. With patience and the right tools, got it done. 2 eBay parts (AOS, new hose) and a special type of long-nose pliers, and 4 hours later DONE.

[@juanarreola139]

Àa

[@cristiansalas6374]

Your compression tester is accurate. I also have a cayman and the test results also show 200+ psi.

[@ScottKelley]

I have a thing for Caymans. I am looking to get into one as my first Porsche one of these days. When I can afford to do the maintenance on one and makes financial sense haha.

[@markphillips2072]

Love the Porsche content because I'll never have the money for a sorted one but may have a chance with a action car and you point out alot of issues that may help me make a better decision when putting in a bid and I also got a method when bidding on one that will help when the time comes love the Porsche content one of my favorite brands 😊

[@poormansporsche744]

Just look for a 986 boxster as your first. I picked up one a year ago for $5000 and have been sorting it doing all the work myself and it’s done.

[@markphillips2072]

@poormansporsche744 that's awesome and good advice. I'm dreaming of a 21- 23 lightly hit in the front that nobody else is paying attention to for like 2000 dollars like I said I'm dreaming 🤣🤣🤣

[@larryhobgoblin6172]

so this video was recorded like almost 3 months ago? didnt realize u guys had such a fire back log of videos xD

[@brunojanz]

The Cayman S 3.4 engine has a 11.5/1 compression ratio so the values you got seam to be appropriate .

[@edhingeley6933]

especially with oil in all cylinders.. LOL

[@shelloiluk]

I had the same cayman and several boxsters then a Macan S then a 992 911 s. Addicted to Porsche.

[@botterbuilder]

Love the video! I have a 911 and this video felt like at home watching you fix the issues! Keep it up!

[@jjeffrey6945]

NO on the anti seize for the plugs. Not required any longer as the current spark plugs are no longer made of steel. This can also throw off your torque specs as well.

[@vapor4den]

Also its cool to see two brothers working on car and filming for this KZbin channel !

[@djheinze33]

Love watching your guys problem solving. Great Job and can’t wait to see what you do next. Maybe a wide body Cayman project… hmmm

[@danmw77]

A gamble that paid off. J just started watch some the videos and you have great content and also you really seem to enjoy and have fun in the process. Keep up on the content and the beautiful cars.

[@renesanchez5333]

Wow you guys are crazy. Keep it up! More boxster maintenance work

[@JRGarage]

Thanks! Will do!

[@wrbWRX]

I miss the days of forums. Wish they would make a comback. So much great information lost to facebook groups.

[@AndyfromSurrey]

Problem with FB groups is that it difficult to search for information. Forums were so much better for this. Either that or FB users are lazy 😂

[@carefreeclubhouse1714]

Good stuff! Love to see the machines given new life!!

[@jtreacy86]

"Only a $50 part and 5 hours of other stuff" after multiple days of trying things and missing a family gathering...spoken like a true car guy.

[@carlosbonilla1637]

With 1.3M subscribers, and with lots of Porsche content, I still don’t get why you guys don’t have a set of Quickjacks! 🤔

[@boyracer3477]

I like it that they do things like their subscribers will probably do them. I don't really like as much when the KZbinr has $200K worth of lifts and other tools.

[@jasonharris3873]

Hope that it sorted the issue. With good compression test results rings should be good. Just lots of oil in intake to burn off.

[@frankoliveros9563]

PCars take patience and tons of forum help to keep them going. Great job guys it is always rewarding when you figure things out amd it actually works.

[@JRGarage]

Very true!

[@alansmith2336]

Love the video guys. It's nice to watch you work on the cars. Keep up the great videos.ALAN FROM OKLAHOMA!!!

[@carlosmartoral6268]

Love your content, especially the preacher that says “why? why? Why? Hilarious!😅

[@Maidoumurnot]

Great video, great information. I love the comedy adds 😂, thanks for another great video. Hope your doing well.

[@paulchinnery6560]

After market AOS, the first time you hit 7000RPM you'll suck the membrane right out of it. Bin there done it then off to Porsche to buy an original AOS. Great buy though!

[@jlakindd]

the porsche lucky streak continues. He cant keep getting away with this!!! D:

[@JRGarage]

I really thought we were done for with this one

[@vapor4den]

20:25 It would be sick for a giveaway !!🎉🎉🎉 And I can't believe it run so good after you change a $55 part. 😅

[@davebettey1936]

Brilliant Job lads. Process of elimination step by step and looks like the problem solved . Happy Days.

[@Eurospec73]

Wow, I top my hat off to you guys. One AOS sensor swap out solves the whole entire problem so that you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a head gasket issue job well done guys!🥳🎉

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

That was the MAF=Mass Airflow Sensor, if it has any debris on it, especially oil, it won't work at all, and put the vehicle in limp mode, if your lucky? Don't use brake clean to clean it, it will destroy it? Only use MAF or electronic parts cleaner, or just replace it?

[@TommyAlanRaines]

You should keep CRC QD Electronic Cleaner on hand, it works really well with cleaning electronic/electric connections

[@backnunAndy]

I am still have some doubts about bore scoring. Guy pulls out spark plug and leave like that at the first place. He might find something in it. Why don't you check scope check as well while turning the crank to make sure car is healthy!

[@hawkinsjd11]

I have a 2003 Boxster S and I live in Phoenix and love that there is a Porsche youtube channel in town. Would love to meet you guys and chat about the Boxsters some time.

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

There are companies that make uograded AOS for racing, but they're very expensive and overkill for normal driving. Those catalytic converters might not last much longer. Magnaflow makes nice headers with cats for a very reasonable cost.

[@Aiken47]

Porsche club of America says the way to check for bore scoring it to take the sump cover off and check from underneath. Particularly bank 2 cylinder 6

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Spray brake clean in the cylinders and use compressed air to blow out any residual oil?

[@Gedalneil]

Didn’t think this one would work. Great job

[@godfreygatsi-pu2cc]

Have had an unrequited love affair with Porsches since my early teens. Your videos make me feel closer to the dream. Was thinking if you get an accident damaged with a good engine and maybe a flooded or messed up engine it can be worth it to make one.

[@dstrong11]

That Air Filter has never been replaced

[@BloodySoup74]

Nice work! Yep a Cayman giveaway would be dope! We'll see. Porsche is my favorite brand and this gives me hope on getting one someday.

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

The oil in the combustion chamber, will be blown out the exhaust valve, and accumulate in the catalytic convertor, and hopefully not take forever to burn off?

[@superdave2316]

There is nothing wrong with driving it home after the AOS fails. The issues can happen if you turn it off and attempt to restart it. We see it all the time at the track do to high G-loading in the corners. Wide sticky rubber can overwork the AOS.

[@dynamotightstar3472]

Given the raptor paint and the dusty air filter I'm guessing he did rally cross in the porka. 🤣

[@jons_collectibles_13]

2:05 don’t fight guys. Be nice to each other!

[@jonathanjohnson8217]

What did you all use to clean the engine bay?

[@modvavet]

The AOS can be a nuisance from hell. I ended up replacing mine, but not because of this. It was just leaking oil. Probably not too bad if you're not a huge person with big hands and arms, but I'm pretty sure I broke mine in several places to get the new one attached. XD

[@WrathLethal]

This video was made almost 3 months ago guys? What are you guys doing? Come on man, I hope all is well and that you get back to making content that’s fresh.

[@autorecon]

makes sense just recording videos editing them and uploading once in a while instead of uploading 1 hour videos daily that no one is gonna watch

[@matiasgarces3188]

I couldn’t agree more! I wish they had more content more often!

[@prolife0888]

Bro tavarish’s videos sometimes are 2 years old

[@kevintatten4464]

Editing takes longer than the repairs

[@K1dPhresh1]

Fixes AOS (hopefully dodging scored bore bullet) proceeded to rev cold engine over 3K, thus inducing bore scoring.😂

[@jetskilyft1303]

Boy, you are dodging a bullet on this one, The Matrix Style!!!

[@JRGarage]

For real!

[@TheDato69]

so since there was oil in cylinders that would have made it a wet compression test which reads higher

[@Powersproductions130]

That impact wrench y’all were using on the Cayman needs a services, like real bad. 😂😂 It’s not supposed to be that noisy.

[@johngonda6447]

Love these videos!

[@TubeYouDavidpearce]

You should not use anti seize, if you have purchased the correct spark plugs they already have an anti seize coating. Adding anti seize will also change the torque setting you need. Ie it will reduce the amount of torque required to tighten up the plugs.

[@turtlerunner5791]

I know that u are all in for boxters, but. Couldt u make a series were u take a sleeper car like a micra k11, tune it and race it against a stock boxter?

[@bluray4687]

Porsche recommends that you do not put anti seize on the spark plugs.

[@2philly7venz]

Great video guys!!

[@chameleon1001]

URO Parts - "Guaranteed to fail in 100 miles".

[@phill8347]

He said "its literally Easter"... Is this vlog from April then?? Whats going on??

[@ukcarflippers2220]

Date on his pressure test was August 2023 lol

[@serch_1x]

Time traveling.

[@andreashellwig9863]

Well done, guys!

[@halfdanmonie]

Been waiting for this since forever aha

[@vidaiautomation]

I keep thinking how awesome these videos would be if the guys working on the cars ACTUALLY had a CLUE about how to work on cars! 😂

[@789costela]

You guys should build car shelvs. Saves alot of space in The hanger

[@WildDigger]

Awesome score! 👍 Matt

[@isabelcaspillan844]

do y’all sell the cars you rebuild/repair? interested in purchasing!!

[@billtaglia2865]

If the cabin filter set up is the same as my ‘17 cayman, there are two. Under the glove box and in the frunk area.

[@theworldsnewsplainview952]

Congratulations. Great vid.

[@cparks325]

Was the car showing any fault codes associated with the bad AOS?

[@OttoBiography]

glad to see a happy ending on this one.

[@mickeyrube]

What are you guys using to clean your engines with?

[@joeybaez1745]

Great job guys

[@niacal4nia]

I have the same Harbor freight impact wrench used it on my Porsche 928😊

[@darrylswanson1199]

If you still have it, I’d love to have it!

[@brianwalker9125]

Guys, how did you get the front wheel off, when the locking wheel bolt was in the front trunk? But in the video, you took off the wheel to get to the cable to undo the latch.

[@mikibajrektarevic2543]

I don't understand where u got the 30k figure for the engine but yeah more like 10k but w.e Also I'm not sure if you know this but you can use 12 point socket for inverted torx works just fine

[@DevonSatornino]

I’m not a mechanic but that kinda looks like white smoke so might be something with the fuel injectors

[@themastermagicians2745]

All the $$$$$ invest in cars but no EXTERNAL LIGHTS to work outside 🤪🤣😂

[@darrellsheldon1394]

This 3 click lines that attach to the AOS are full of oil as well and should be cleaned out.

[@drunvert]

Is there an upgraded air cleaner, air box that sounds better?

[@andrewwolkowich]

Nice guys. Well done.

[@dnkykng585]

16:06 thats what she said 😂

[@roberttowsley8958]

Waited way too long guys!😢

[@BarsGaming1]

Wait a sec my dad use to have a cayman i think u have it he sold it bc of cloud smoke and i rmebrr puting that cylindrr in the trunk by purpurse😂😂😂 and i remberd puting the air vent in wrong way

[@GSMMW]

Great job boyz!

[@Kornholeeoo]

1/4" socket will hold those bits.

[@stefaneulenstein]

that might be the dirtiest air filter I've ever seen in a porsche

[@aarsir1961]

Nice videos I like your expression while talking

[@jontheodore8450]

Why didn't just disconnect the MAS sensor ? then the ECU will run the engine on a default setting bypassing it..

[@Oldnobrand]

If one coil is cracked change them all imho probably have it planned

[@kirand483]

Did you gap the plugs?

[@neilchirico]

Job, well done!

[@JohnHoganN8]

Another home win! 👍 Good “sticktoitness” guys

[@shahzain3508]

what happened to the 981 rebuild?

[@liveeverydaylikefriday]

Nice job well done

[@aaronskogutierrez7843]

Love you’re videos

[@JRGarage]

Thank you!

[@Rennsport-Media]

The quality of URO parts are mediocre at best!

[@nickh5450]

Happy Easter everyone 😂

[@bikeman1x11]

doubt cabin filter direction matters

[@billtaglia2865]

Amazing job.

[@davidguntren4487]

Good on you guys
