I would like to express my dissatisfaction concerning this video, because it is videos like this that made me pull the trigger and buy myself a project car. I hope you are happy with yourself for exposing this kind of madness upon others. Excellent video. Love the cinematography and sound design on this. Keep up the good work.
So many times I wished for this kind of access to my 944’s engine. It was fun to see this. I bought a series 1 brand new in 1983 for the now-absurd low price of $22,600 all in, taxes, fees. That car was a treasure. In 2000, I purchased a 1993 968. There is so little similarity in performance but working on the engine was familiar. Many, many updates make my 968 an easier car to maintain despite the added complexity. I put it to ‘bed’ about 2014 to save money for a family. It still awaits its second life now my daughter has gone to college. She loved growing up with that car, which she named ‘Cheetah’. I wonder why.
Art at its finest. I am always beyond impressed with your abilities, but this is on another level! Better than high budget productions by other companies here on RUclips. You should all be impressed with your work. Thanks for sharing!
I experienced the pleasure of watching my 911 Porsche engine get rebuilt by a very competent shop where the owner allowed me to take photos of the process. It was amazing. I'm going to save this video for later on today and enjoy what you did here. Just the music itself is amazing and ominous and fantastic. The lubrication that you put on those bearings was just artful. That's why I'm gonna save this video until I can fully appreciated it in stereo mirrored to my Big Screen TV.
One of the most impressive and well filmed automotive videos I think I've ever seen on RUclips. I've been restoring my 1984 944 for almost two years now. Watching this video makes me want to re disassemble my engine again lol. Well done!
The year I turned 50, coincided with the same year I was promoted to O-6 (Navy Captain)….I gifted myself a 944s2 Cabriolet, in beautiful Baltic Blue. Now in the last year of my 60s, I still own the car….almost pristine, stored in winter, and it has barely 65k on the clock. I’m fully retired now, from both the Navy, and a career in federal law enforcement. I’m tempted to “let her go” and buy a 911 or a BoxsterS….strange how the 944 cabs and turbos, in good shape, are bringing “silly money” right now. Still….I just don’t know if I can part ways with it….and after watching this video, I have a new appreciation for that engine in particular, and in general, “automobile as art”. Great video!
The mastery displayed here both from a mechanical standpoint and a talented filmmaker perspective is incredible. You ignite my passion in engineering when you produce stuff like this. Wow.
An awe inspiring production. The choice of shots is only surpassed by the selection of music. I sincerely appreciate the amount of effort, time and discipline this required to execute.
As the folks say, a masterpiece. This is very true and clearly created by a genius. This is what RUclips was made for. As my French friends would say, bravo maestro! I would hazard to say, your best work to date.
the filming, the focal points, the use of depth of field....the music, such beautiful drama, deserving of a Porsche engine rebuild, even if only a 4 cylinder
It took me a couple of days but I finally caught up. This was spectacular. This is what car films should feel like. There are not many people who capture the reverence we have for our machines, but your style makes every nut, bolt, and click of the torque wrench seem beautiful. Because it is! The reason I love RUclips is that you just can’t find stuff like this anywhere else.
loving how with all the details and added care for the production of teh video, the length of 9 mins and 51 seconds (951) was the original specification of the 944.
@@magnusmoulton6376 There's the 944 ( normally aspirated), the there's the 951, which is a left hand drive 944 turbo, then there's the 952, which is a right hand drive 944 turbo.
Bravo 👏🏽...a cinematic / symphonic / engineering / masterpiece 🎉...and IAm also a 951 owner that as of yet does not have your courage or engineering abilities... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I forget which episode it was, but I know you mused about the future of your channel recently and the RUclips etc,,, Just do you and follow your gut. It's unique, and meaningful and purposeful. How many of us are on our fourth or fifth watch of this since yesterday? Chapeau.
DANKE! Art, the kind I love. Location... I started dreaming, what would I do in such a wonderful place? Maze, well done. Unmatched. Music is very well chosen too.
What an amazing soundtrack. Elements of dark noir crime thriller crossed with Blade Runner-esque themes. Paired with wonderful framing, editing and mechanics, makes this an utterly incredible film. Well done.
This video deserves far more eyes laid upon it, this was a creature of care and love and should be see by more. This was truly something beautiful with its cinematography and focus. No words just actions, with intention. This is the stuff that made me want to do something with cars, this is the stuff that truly beats within my heart, as a car guy, photographer, and just a curious man. Thank you for doing something this amazing, bless you.
The combination of music, sound and aesthetics makes this film a delight even for someone who is not a fan of motorization. The whole form and presentation of the assembly of the engine has been so poetically and artistically presented in this film that it amazes. Thanks to the music and passion for motoring, this film kept you in suspense, unfolding like poetry. I think others will agree, that this video as a whole is more like a play about the heart of a Porsche 944, and how a person who loves their car does their best to bring her back a heart that beats and not just a stone without feelings. (Just like a love story but to cars and passion.) I hope to seem more video like this one int he feature. (btw. Thanks for inspiration.)
I Just found this video by accident . Im just in shock how awesome this is . Everyone should watch this short movie . Definitely a piece of art . It is the best quality it could possibly get.
I would like to express my dissatisfaction concerning this video, because it is videos like this that made me pull the trigger and buy myself a project car. I hope you are happy with yourself for exposing this kind of madness upon others.
Excellent video. Love the cinematography and sound design on this. Keep up the good work.
The lighting, these images, the sound! A work of art.
A masterpiece
Indeed 👏🏻

The feeling you create with videos like this, is just so soothing and relaxing. Love it
Respectfully, how can you feel relax and soothing watching this? I feel only excitement, joy, thrill and almost trembling.
ASMR, for men 😅
Born petrolhead, in Modena, long time ago and saw a lot about cars. This is a masterpiece, thank you.
Art at its finest. I am always beyond impressed with your abilities, but this is on another level! Better than high budget productions by other companies here on RUclips. You should all be impressed with your work. Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful, and what car content should be.

Nicely done pretty darn creative and I guess pays homeage to the 944 turbo ending at 9m51 seconds.
What a video! 😊
I really love the look of an anamorphic lens, rare to see, and even rarer for it to be used so well!
Love the color palette, makes the video look like a 90s thriller movie
I cried. It's beautiful
One of the most impressive and well filmed automotive videos I think I've ever seen on RUclips. I've been restoring my 1984 944 for almost two years now. Watching this video makes me want to re disassemble my engine again lol. Well done!
Double check if it hasn't been fixed and think was your year there was a recall..campaign..on fuel rail..dealership will replace free
this is like artwork in video form
A true Masterpiece! ❤

Keep it!!
keep ITTT!!!
Great video. I have a 89 Porsche 944 S2. Great car. And a great engine.
Honestly, an uncut video of someone building an engine with the music for ambience has the same effect of Lofi for my brain. Just so relaxing
The mastery displayed here both from a mechanical standpoint and a talented filmmaker perspective is incredible. You ignite my passion in engineering when you produce stuff like this. Wow.
Thank you!
This is just a master class 🏆 Can’t stop watching it. Seen it 4 times now.
An awe inspiring production. The choice of shots is only surpassed by the selection of music. I sincerely appreciate the amount of effort, time and discipline this required to execute.
this new style of video is absolutely amazing
As the folks say, a masterpiece. This is very true and clearly created by a genius. This is what RUclips was made for. As my French friends would say, bravo maestro!
I would hazard to say, your best work to date.
Wow Porsche needs to see this!
Damn impressive! Who knew an engine rebuild could make one tear up?? 🤷 Reminds me that my 944 oil cooler seals prob need replacing...lol
the filming, the focal points, the use of depth of field....the music, such beautiful drama, deserving of a Porsche engine rebuild, even if only a 4 cylinder
Well I am slightly out of budget for a flat-6. I got a 928 V8 sitting around though...
@@OnlyARoadtripAway If my 996 was in EU, I'd bring it to you for some TLC
I did not want this to end. You need to film a sci fi thriller. The shots and coloring were perfect.
Preach 🙌🏼
This is serious cinematography mate!
That was insane! had to comment again, im so blown away by the quality. I felt like i just watched a movie! true work of art, be proud of this one!
Thanks - sequel is in the works, although not in an empty warehouse anymore.
Simply the most beautiful engine build i haver ever seen. Can’t wait for your next video!

Excellent. Beautiful choice of music and camera angles. You deserve an independent film award for this.
loving how with all the details and added care for the production of teh video, the length of 9 mins and 51 seconds (951) was the original specification of the 944.
i mean this in no rude way, but the 952 is for the 944 turbo, but still, to have the film end at that number is such a nice little easter egg
@@magnusmoulton6376 There's the 944 ( normally aspirated), the there's the 951, which is a left hand drive 944 turbo, then there's the 952, which is a right hand drive 944 turbo.
And none of this was intentional, but I do like the fact people mention it over and over. ✌🏼🤭
Wow, words can not even express how satisfactory this was to watch. The music, the music, where do you get it from? Great work as always
Thanks! The music was custom composed just for this by a dear friend of mine.
@@OnlyARoadtripAway honestly!? Wow! It has some 007 bond like vibes. Perfectly done!
@@OnlyARoadtripAway I had a feeling it was a special composition for this video. It’s beautiful
@@jakedean8560 No ,literally - Please ask if the Dear Friend would upload to spotify or apple music
Future generations will look back to you and honour you for the new art form that you created. This is a masterpiece, deep thank you!
Beautiful work my friend, the film and the music are perfectly matched. Congratulations on a wonderful work of art, very well done. 💫👏
Bravo 👏🏽...a cinematic / symphonic / engineering / masterpiece 🎉...and IAm also a 951 owner that as of yet does not have your courage or engineering abilities... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The greatest engine rebuild video i have ever seen. The atmosphere is incredible and reflects my emotions when working on old cars perfectly.
DANKE!
Art, the kind I love.
Location... I started dreaming, what would I do in such a wonderful place?
Maze, well done. Unmatched. Music is very well chosen too.
Music wasn't chosen - it was composed just for this!
@@OnlyARoadtripAway Wow! Very, very well composed then!
A joy to watch. Thank you for putting this together and sharing the journey.
Cheers from Wisconsin.
Started with James bond vibe, transitioned into TENET vibe, and ended with Interstellar, goddang this video is a work of art.
What an amazing soundtrack. Elements of dark noir crime thriller crossed with Blade Runner-esque themes. Paired with wonderful framing, editing and mechanics, makes this an utterly incredible film. Well done.
Can somebody edit this with a british guy softly talking over it like a movie, this music is so calming 😌

that shortblock design is... breathtakingly well engineered... dang.
The composition of the first shot speaks for itself, and then there's the soundtrack... A class by itself
I had no intention to watch more than a few seconds just to see what this was about... and then I got sucked in. Wonderful presentation! Thank you.
This channel has heavy le man's 1971 Steve Mcqueen feel to it.
So good!
Mit Abstand bestes Video, das mir in den letzten Tagen von RUclips vorgeschlagen wurde.
Incredible work

(btw. Thanks for inspiration.)
Just incredible combination of extraordinary skills. As an ex owner of 944 with this engine, i thank you for bringing me good memories!
An unbelievably satisfying and complete video. Bravo.
That was beautiful. The subject, the setting, the lighting, and of course that incredible score. Engine building as art. Well done.
Stumbled across this. It wasn't unlike watching an artist paint his favorite.
I Just found this video by accident . Im just in shock how awesome this is . Everyone should watch this short movie . Definitely a piece of art . It is the best quality it could possibly get.
951 seconds? Not a coincidence ! Amazing job.
Most definitely a coincidence - but a lucky one!
The ending gave me goosebumps! The cinematography is on point, the purest aesthetics in perfection. Love it 🫶🔥
Beautiful work, and beautifully filmed! Thank you.
Every frame of this was gorgeous. Well done! 🤯
This is one of the best video I've ever seen on RUclips. Beautifull ! The sound, the filming, everything is just perfect
Whomever did the musical score with select mechanical sounds of assembly overlayed did a superb job.
Phil is a genius, there is a reason we have worked together for a decade.
Das beste RUclips Video das ich je gesehen habe 😍
Yeah! Ultra aufwändiger sound, Licht, Schnitt……..da sitz alles. Voll gut ! Danke dir!
I love how the man and machine became one for a brief moment.
Awesome video. Enjoyed the detail of the video having a run time of 9:51.
Wow, that is a actually a good looking engine.
beautiful video, an engine rebuild has never gone so smoothly for any mechanic
from the engine to the video, an absolute work of art
The shallow dof was nice, good storytelling.
9 min 51 sec mechanical art👍
This was glorious to watch on my ultrawide monitor.
Great job man, video was a masterpiece.
Beautiful film. Great work, David!!
Was the 9:51 time of the vid intentional? Awesome video and excellent engine choice 👌
I'm now convinced that you only have that enormous warehouse to maximise the dramatic effect of your videos.
Rest assured, that isn‘t my warehouse - and it won‘t stay empty…
Perfect, just perfect. There is nothing else that comes to my mind. The music is beautiful especially paired with the video itself. Truly beautiful!
The shot at 7:15 is perfection, well done
Awesome! Feels like a big screen movie. I wish rebuilding an engine was as easy as it looks in this video
Gut gemacht! Das beste Gesamtpaket was ich bisher von Dir gesehen habe lieber Neffe. :) Story, Bild, vor allem Musik dazu. Klasse!
The hell...where are my movie tickets? Where's my popcorn??
got chills and cried. Idk if that says enough
Wow! you have outdone yourself yet again! This is what car films should be like ;)
I'm but a few minutes into the video - I just wanted to say your cinematography is simply amazing!
You have absolutely nailed it, stunning! Mesmerising! Shooting and editing perfectly done. Thank you for making it!
WOW! This is absolutely brilliant, I mean the workplace in combination with the music feels like a James Bond villain building his murder weapon
This is amazing
There's a fine line between the sublime and the ridiculous. Sometimes easily crossed.
beautiful music and motor! bravo!
This was a true pleasure to watch 🙌
So good I had to watch in full screen.
That was incredible
Absolute masterpiece! Captivating, emotional and pure... This is why we love cars 🤙🏽
Love love love the space!
Epic! Always a good day when you post a video! Thank you.
Great video. That engine is masterful.
Ganz großes Tennis ! Super gefilmt 👌🏻🏁
anyone else pick up on the subtle artistic "nod" to this video being EXACTLY 9:51?
