I love how he explains his mistake and then walks you though how he would try to fix the problem. Most channels would just cut it out and leave the audience guessing, but this one does an amazing job sequencing the process. Love these videos, keep it up👍
Hilarious part
Morning friends! Trying a new style video and curious to your thoughts.
Casey Putsch it’s very nice I like it!
Like the video moved a bit slow for me bit that's a good opportunity to watch at 1.5x speed.
The last bit about gasket gunk removal. Plastic gasket scrapers are great, the plastic being softer than the metal makes it nigh impossible to mess up the surface. They wear out quick but the peace of mind has far greater value.
There is no one is trust more to show me mechanic stuff. Chrisfix Is fantastic, but you possess an authority that the poor young'un can't yet match.
Enjoyed the video, but I'm going to have to send you a lazer pointer for an easier time with your pointing related needs! Lol just a thought, its always hard pointing things out in a tight engine bay.
good job.
Well, let me say this, by having those 3 lifters fall, makes the point that you have been pushing from the get go, which is take you time and pay attention to what you are doing , and you just reinforced what NOT TO DO by doing it yourself , one of the best ways to show someone how to properly do something in my opinion. Much respect and kudos .
Glad you didn’t cut the real stuff out. The stuff that makes us all feel dumb from time to time 👍
Whats a DIY without the "oh shit" moment dropping/breaking something you shouldn't. Keep it real Casey, good work!
What I am surprised is the lack of swearing. Thats why dealerships have waiting rooms so you cant hear the mechanics swearing at your car.
Casey: "I'm not doing this because OCD" Puts on textbook display of OCD.
Not enough good can be said about the value of a good set of shelves to place parts on after you have taken them out of any assembly. Both for organization and the mentioned (not wanting debris is them.)
%100
I recently got all my shop tables cleared off before doing a timing belt job on my Civic (after a lifetime of being messy with a cluttered garage). Part of me felt like I was "wasting time" organizing and cleaning first instead of working on the car. But as I took parts off the engine and laid them newly-emptied tables and shelves, a light bulb went off in my head: since I *know* the spaces were cleared before I started, I *know* that anything I see out now needs to go back on during reassembly.
As a snobish owner of the only real Porsche (82 coupe), I find these ghastly front engined Audi/VW products an insult and thus have been banned from both the yacht and country club.
Seriously an excellent video CP.
OOOOoooooOOOOhhhh. Ban ME will you? I challenge you to a DUEL sir!
Only the 924 was an Audi/VW Porsche hybrid. The 944 was solely Porsche. Of course, if that was tongue in cheek, my hats off to you!
@@CaseyPutsch Not you, only those Porsche wannabes. STRICTLY VERBOTEN! lol
On a serious note my mechanic has an old black 944 just sitting there in his lot with a flat tire, has to be sitting there at least a year. Your videos have me thinking now.....but I still pine for an Alfa GTV-6; the Busso motor is worthy of a Ferrari...
@@KayfieldAcademyLouisville The whole thing was tongue in cheek.....and the 944 was produced in Neckarsulm, where Audi had one of its 2 principal factories, the other being Ingolstadt. Porsche Gmbh died in 1998 when the last air-cooled model was produced....lol.
@@KayfieldAcademyLouisville , Uhh, 944 was an evolution of the 924 project. The first true clean-sheet Porsche was the 928...
I dig the video quality Casey. You are making me want a 944.😂
Thanks! Shoutout to my camera guy that doesn't like the spotlight!
Grab a 944 drop an LS3 in it and track the hell out of it 💗
What's up Casey! I've been watching your video's since the start your of your channel and I'm almost a 3year owner of an 1984 944, bought the car with some over heating issues there for the price was just right. Issues where fixed quickly along with a stage 2 water pump kit from 944online. Here in Nebraska it gets seriously cold, so door handles and are a week point and are tricky to understand, but once you know what your doing its a pretty cool door trigger mechanism! Take easy casey! You got good things heading your way for sure. Great work.
Oh man, you are so right on tool organization. I cant tell you how many times I loose my 1/2" when I just laid it down. Sometimes I swear that there are gremlins moving my #%$^ around to mess with me. I'm constantly herding tools! Great video!
It is funny how much we work in a similar way. You have a hint of the way a German proficiency, a touch of good ol’ farm boy mechanic then a understanding of how the systems work to fix it. Knowledge is a powerful tool with applied with experience. When you make a oopsy you troubleshoot it. Or when that farm boy comes out you stop and thinking. We all get in a hurry and slow the thinking but when one slows down we can make less of them. But hell yeah you did awesome begetting that far and deep in to it. Thank you for the awesome video!
Do NOT trust those compressor bolts. They have fallen out on my turbo so many times and caused the belt to squeal. One time the bolts broke and shredded my compressor/alt belt and those shreds cut an oil cooler line and evacuated all of the oil while going 70 on the highway. I replaced both bolts with brand new flange bolts and used red thread locker on all of them. Same with the tensioner turnbuckle. Tighten em down good. If you want to get new bolts, the front has a m10x55x1.25, and the rear is an m8x55x1.25. Awesome vid dude! Don't worry, I dropped a lifter the first time I removed my cam housing too.
A Ford Ranger is a great first car imo
Wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. This type of video is the real you.
If I was younger, or more a Porsche fan, i wouldn't have skipped some of this. ;)
Hands down the most engaging mechanic videos on RUclips, especially featuring a 944 👍. All the info.. real talk and helpful tips. Just the truth! Given me the confidence to tackle my 944 timing belt. Brilliant please keep them coming so helpful.
A Porter can do!
I've noticed a bunch of 928/944 videos coming out on YT recently. Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with a certain guy in 'sylvania, where it's always sunny? Oh and the Kit-Kat wrapper is an old trick, adds at least 5 bhp, should've left it in.
This is a great presentation.Are you going to use something like Gasgacinch on the gasket surface?I think you can figure out the lifters placement especially with video to reference.Again your real world performance in the shop will benefit young mechanics greatly.
I used to run a 924S which is mostly the original 944 with a bit less drag. My first task was the oil/water intercooler seals which I luckily caught early. It was a bit tight in there and I wouldn't have wanted to capture it on camera but an essential bit of 944 engine preventative maintenance, I should think - the 944's equivalent to the IMS bearing ?
0:15 Casey: its an good Second car.
16 Year old Me: thats great becouse i have an 1960 vw bug as first car which i build with my dad😂
An old roommate with an older Beetle only let "Fritz" do his service. One weekend his throttle cable brake, and I used some steel picture hanging wire to get him going again. When Fritz saw this, he said NEIN! And refused to ever work on the car again. Last I heard, the cable outlasted the car.
They make composite scrapers blades for aluminum. Never use a metal blade on a machined aluminum surface.
As a fellow almost twice your age, I want to thank you for giving back to others your knowledge and experience. This is so commendable. I have tried to do this as much as I can also. We have local groups with many younger people (20-30 years old) that want to learn. As you said, we all make mistakes and those that say they don't are lying to ya.
Nice Job Sir!
Having worked on this specific job myself recently, I'd like to share that the best type of gasket scraper for aluminum is also one of the cheapest. Get a short piece of 1" copper tubing from the hardware store, flatten several inches of it in a vise, and then sharpen that end into a blade. This worked FANTASTIC to scrape the surface clean, but never dug in and scored the surface in the least. You'll have to keep a sharpening stone handy to keep it reasonably sharp, as the soft edge is lost quickly. But knowing how well it works without damaging anything is well worth the bit of extra effort.
Regarding the tappets/lifter/followers, I've read that you can 'recondition' the face of a lifter so that it can wear into another cam lobe properly by sticking some 600 grit emery cloth on an absolutely flat surface, like a piece of glass, and with a lubricant of some sort (WD40), sand the face of the lifter in a figure eight pattern, therby erasing the original wear pattern and giving you a 'clean sheet' for the lifter to wear into a cam lobe again. I have not done this myself, but it sounds reasonable to me.
Wow I enjoyed this video a lot more than I expected. All of those little tips you have learned from years of mechanical work are so incredibly valuable to someone like me who has had no external education. That is the kind of stuff you don’t learn from manuals or tutorials, you can only pick up on those quirks by shadowing an experienced person. I appreciate the video!
Polycarbonate razor blades! Made to never scratch glass or soft metals.
Awesome video.
Next task, shave your head dude
Cool beans casey.
Thanks!
Mistakes are how we learn.
Thanks for the laugh Casey. When keeping it real goes wrong lol. Detective Casey
This is an excellent video
Great video! this is something so different and cool, but good lord... focus more on doing the work and showing people, than worrying about the morons that talk shit all the time... over all great video.. i hope to see more!
I can't believe how simple all this seems...... like I'm sure it's a lot harder to do than to watch, but almost all the things he's saying just are common sense to me. I have never worked on any car of any kind, but all my life I have been repairing(or if failing to repair, tear apart and study) dishwashers, dryers, washing machines, coffee makers, computers, printers, turntables, and even a reel to reel tape player(def one of the more complex and interesting things ever, almost purely mechanical logic). cars were always these untouchable magic things for me. Sure I knew the theory of an internal combustion engine, but all this video made me realize that really, the engineering isn't that different at all. just some higher forces and lower tolerances. thank you casey for helping me figure out that I can do simple car maintenance!
It IS really that simple. The best way to learn is to do, and the 944 is a really simple, straightforward platform to play with.
@Mark Douglas Thanks for mindlessly parroting every trope you've heard from brainless old guys who don't know anything more complicated than the 1960s domestic ox carts. Obviously you've never owned Porsches, or turned a wrench for a living.
its simple as long as you work organized and keep everything you take off in a known place so you dont have to fumble to put it all back together. What gets people in a mess on cars is taking stuff apart in a disorganized manner and then forgetting the sequence of how to put it back.
Also. working on the engine is often times easier than working on the suspension of an older car. id imagine a fare bit of swearing would be present in this video if he was under there trying to break bolts free after 30 years of rust.
I'm very much considering buying a Porsche 944 in Australia as my second car and these videos are incredible to prepare me! Thanks so much Casey!
Glad to see I'm not the only one with OCD :) have a great day casey
Cheers!
@@CaseyPutsch oh was that a porko rosso shirt? or just a sea plane?
@@kenhancock8931 Just a sea plane. Porco's has the wings & engine above the fuselage and floats under the lower wings.
_Edit_ - Saw the back of his shirt, look up MC-72 seaplane. Italian model made in 1934, would've perfectly fit the aesthetic of _Porco Rosso_ and may have been an inspiration for a couple of the designs in the movie, but it's not.
@@danielseelye6005 thx thats right porko has to crank the engine above him. been a few years since i watched the movie. just saw floats and red color :) and porko came to mind :)
I love your videos man! I’m hoping to go pick a 944 turbo soon and so excited to be part of the Porsche 944 group.
A crucial but simple mistake bud.. What the hater's don't realize is that you will figure it out!
And they are most likely just mad because they couldn't fix there own stuff to save there lives.
True!
Enjoyable watch
I've been dreaming of 944s since I was a kid. I'm so glad I found this channel. 👍
Can't wait to get one of my own 944s and keep it forever 🚗❤️
An unexpected benefit of these videos is that you are documenting the process- the documentation helps you to know how to put everything back together (I can't tell you how many times personally I wish that I had taken photos or videos when it comes time to re-assemble!!). Of course, when the unexpected occurs, you have something to help you figure out what happened and how to remedy it. Very valuable and helpful, I feel, for any DIY projects of any complexity!!!
GREAT WORK EASY VIDEO TO FOLLOW
Cant wait to get to working on my own soon, I'm going to need new fuel injectors
Wonderful video, I like this style
Folks, I must warn you on this procedure. Pulling the cam tower is a highly precise task. Just dealing with the ca m belts Is dealer recommended, and the bolts..Allen, could be tore up from age that might strip out and then your troubles are just beginning. Take it to a qualified Porsche mechanic, yes I own a 951.
You mean a 944 Turbo
@@CaseyPutsch Its known as the 951, my man.😎
JEGS CRATE MOTOR SWAP 944 PROJECT!
Sowry, somebody had to say it. Frankly I'd swap the Germanic stalk controls with something off a 90's Buick first.
Those 944's may not put out a lot of power, but the engine design is a work of art. Total blast to drive. I've recently come across a well preserved 87 NA for a decent price I'm debating on adding to the garage. Visions of a track toy.
Tremonte turned my 951 into a track car !! Very fun to do! ! 😄😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Your first video where you reviewed you 944 purchase got me dreaming. Showed the wife that video and she said sure if you can find a 944 in that condition for $3,000 pull the trigger. I've searched and searched and you must have just found the 944 deal that doesn't exist, at least for me because anything comparable to what you worked on in this video eludes my searches. Still dreaming still looking, searching. My mom had an 86 944 so this car has a little more meaning to me. Thanks for making the 944 vids, again I'll keep looking.
Get you 5.3 liter LM7 and a Holley Terminator ECU and that will really fix a lot of the Porsche Issues. Especially if you plan on keeping it for a long time.
Love your videos !
This series is gonna be great. And the 944 is seriously an awesome car for twenty somethings to learn actual driving dynamics with .. If they do not want a miata but a car that looks great everywhere.
A 944 on an autocross course is always a fun time. And working on them is so simple.
Loving your channel my brother...I'm a painter for THOMAS WEEKS from the show FIRED UP GARAGE ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL...I JUST GOT A 944..
ruclips.net/video/QRtSk5As5uU/видео.html
Use one of them 5.00, dual ended, 4 tip screw drivers. The two ends act as nut drivers and fix "most" hose clamps. When they don't, you still have your flathead right there in your hand.
Porsche 944 are very good cars to learn on as long as you look up guides to do stuff because some stuff is different
OMG, Case......damn. Those moments from 27:07 to 27:10....and the very real ”godammit”, as that part unexpectedly tickled it’s way down into the engine compartment! Hell, brother! My heart stopped! I’ve owned a 240z, an MGB, an RX7....now a 944...no matter the mechanic, no matter the car.....when whatever the part “falls” unexpectedly.... only a “godammit” is so appropriate. Another excellent video, sir!
Before you put the timing and balance belts on I suggest looking at some videos on it because it can be very confusing for someone who’s never done it before and you can spend hours figuring out how it works
Ironic on the airplane ✈️ fighter joke , working on a German car 🙃.
I has a 944 turbo , sold it back in 2000. The prices seem to be going up and up.
I sold it for $8000, it has 80k on it. .
I'm thinking about a 944 non turbo... they seem to be about $8000, if decent shape.. the turbos are like 15k and up....
I had a 1978 928, 1983 944, and a 1985 911...what was so shocking... I had them all in the early 2000s(2000-2009) was the fact, they didn't have a scratch on them, and the paint after one wax was flawless..
The Porsche 944 is the successor to the infamous Porsche 924. The Porsche 924 was the first front engine production vehicle introduced to the market from the company, as it was known for it's rear engine, air cooled 911's. Powered by a 1.8L VW bus engine, the 924 was, compared to it's younger brother, a slouch. However, because the car was designed with a 50/50 weight distribution, it was perfect for carving curves and the just over 1 ton body meant that the power to weigh distribution was not too shabby either. After the 24 at le mans, and even though already radically changed, the 924 received the first Porsche built engine. The famous 2.5L. Half of the 928's V8 with no matching parts, some joke. This little bastard put the 924 to about 180hp.
1983 was the first year of the production of the 944 from what I understand. Many things changed, as the 944 was meant to share little to no parts from the VW catalogue. These cars came with 4 disc brakes, with dual calipers, a transaxle gearbox, 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto, electric sunroofs, power windows, mirrors, etc. A fully loaded model in 1983 I believe was worth about 50 grand in todays money, even more. Some quirks and features of the 944's included: bosch 'barn door' Air Flow meter, that used potentiometers to read incoming airflow, and control fuel flow, hydraulic lifters, a timing belt instead of chain (replace every 50k miles), an oil filter that is installed upside down, and towards the front of the block, the 1983-5 had 3 gauges with upside down needles.
Tips for Putsch :
Liquidmoly 5w-40 w/ UV dye is phenomenal for these cars. They leak oil. Might as well find out from where.
It's better to keep the bosch AFM. A lot of people change it out for aftermarket, or engine swap; so now the AFM's are becoming expensive and rare. They are required for vehicle operation.
You can open the cover on the AFM and adjust the clockspring cog, simply move the clip over and shift the cog over with the vehicle running. You will be able to listen to the 944 change it's tone as the fuel/air mix is changed. Also, you can fine tune the adjustment. Have a friend step on the pedal after the cog adjustment. Listen to the tone, and watch the needle. You may be able to inch out a little more power out of the car. [Keep in mind, if you tune it like this, you may have a rough time with the car until it warms up. Try to limit it if you make these adjustments.]
Even without power steering, these cars are really easy to maneuver at low speeds [
The 928 has the same sort of setup drawing air from the cam belt housing. Apparently they figured it was worth doing.
Use to own a 924 then a 944. Love the videos!! Not a mechanic. I’m here for the fun comments like the “get the mustang back in the air.......to fight”. “This is a German car....” “not going there...”. Love it!!!
Hi Casey! I'm enjoying your videos particularly the 944 and the 928 your working on lately. I like your projects and the home shop tips, very motivating!. A suggestion, with respect: I find it a little distracting when you criticize the other car owners, groups, snobs, etc. Maybe dial that back a little? Cheers!
I realize this is over a year later, but when the cam lobes fall out, if you watch the video slowly it’s a pretty good angle to see where they each falls. Still important to see the detective work, but probably could’ve saved some time.
Casy, thanks for all the help, thanks for sharing your knowledge. it's a great upload, and you sir probably the cleanest, and one of the most organized mechanics I've ever seen. The only not going your way, is that you look very much like Allen from 2 1/2 Half Men. 😊👍 Great job.
Fantastic video Casey! I wish this video existed 6 months ago. :-) Maybe you can do a part 2 to show how or hopefully answer this question. If you're changing out the water pump, timing belt, tensioners and rollers, do you really need the $1,040 timing belt tensioning tool? If not, how can you tension it properly? I was scared to do this service by myself before after reading the forums and instructions so I took my 1985 944 to a shop. When I got it back, it now whines a ridiculous amount. They tell me it's normal. I know a little whine on the 944 is normal. But mine sounds like I have a massive supercharger at any RPM. I know it's most-likely a tension issue, just really looking for instructional DIY video. Your style is so easy to follow and informational. Keep it up!
Great video - like the walkthrough with running commentary - mistakes and all. Biggest plus is the reminder to stop, take a beat and think it through.
Hi From National Park NJ. Had 2 1983 Porsche with hand cracked sunroof. With upgraded intake 5 speed auto. An my wife an match one very rare auto. That we still have that one since 1983. Very reliable car. Expected trans rebuilded 2 times because first time. Neighborhood mech didn't know what he was doing. But I do miss my 5 speed that I sold 3 yrs ago for 928s. 1999. That i totally rebuilded. 1 thing you should check. Rear hach window. Comes away from molding. Starts to leak. But ever want to sell or trade like to know thanks Joe M
Any upgrade or aftermarket plans for this one?
Hey Casey!! I'm new to your channel but really love the content so far. I'm a car guy too and love the underdog cars the snobs poo, poo on! I have a Guards red 1989 944 s2 that has 73k original miles in pristine condition. was going To do a ls swap but the engine is in such good condition I couldn't ruin it. I am waiting for you to finish the timing belt/water pump on your 944 so it will give me the confidence to do mine. KEEP IT UP!!!
You really love that word "reasonable". Lol. I am feeling more comfortable about buying a 928 or 944 after watching this, but a little weary about getting into drivetrain components. Also aluminum headers make me nervous on any vehicle.
I'm not going to criticize for your style, but... lockwashers? They don't work (or at least split washers). Seriously... Read Screw to Win by Carroll Smith for a good explanation as to why. Or talk to NASA... Or an airplane mechanic.
There are a few lockwashers that do somewhat work: Nordlock and those star lockwashers that dig into the metal. Otherwise the best bet is to use Loctite, or a nyloc nut, or they do make all metal locknuts if you need to handle high temperatures, but they are more destructive than the alternatives. Also, Loctite can damage the nylon in a nyloc nut, so use one or the other but not both.
So what IS the approved tilt method for the cam covers?
Take the housing , line up cam timing marks , with that done only 1 lifter will stick out very far ! Put a bit of grease on the lifters so they won't fall out ! Set the housing on the valve retainer of the lifter sticking out , roll the housing on to the valves . have bolts and driver handy !!! Start a bolt at each end of the housing and SLOWLY draw the bolts down , put the rest of the bolts in , not too tight . I think it's 14 ft / lbs 😄😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I just linked up to follow you I'm a previous follower or owner of an old 928 I don't have it anymore because I didn't know that they used the goddamn rubber band to support a double overhead cam V8 motor which I don't understand why they never used a chain but anyway I'm interested in finding a 944 S2 and I noticed that you had a site on here and I'm watching your stuff is there any advice of the best place to find one I'm in Texas and I know about the humidity and everything else about being back east to west coast to down south all the other s*** but I need to find one cuz I want to buy one
Surprised more didn't watch this. I really enjoy you Casey, I LOVE the Genius Garage concept and think you should make it easy to donate to. Now, I will say I could not do videos like you and have no desire to, but I'd like to offer my opinion, which is worth what you paid for it. I think the complaining you do about the "haters" or the race mechanics, or whatever should be shortened. I am mid 40's, totally know what you are saying and agree, but do not need to hear it every video, multiple times. This could have been 10 minutes shorter without the rants. Be positive, be happy. I look forward to the rest of your video, as you are doing the world a service teaching here. You are living the dream of many of us gearheads who did not have the courage to try and live the same dream. Enjoy it.
Best of luck and please stop in Charlotte sometime as I'd love to shake your hand at a Cars and Coffee or something. I'll be the guy with the 66 Mustang convertible letting all the kids sit in it.
You took the precautions to prevent the engine from accidentally getting out of cam timing, additionally if you turn the engine to TDC, before you start, can give you added peace of mind.
I did a GTI cam swap on my 82' scirocco, so I've been where you are at, also, love your scirocco project 👍
Oops, I commented a little too soon
The problem with putting parts & tools on a clean bench is you need a clean bench, not one that's covered in left overs from the last 2 projects.
Warning: if you plan to do the TB & WP on the 928, please read the instructions. Not sure if this is true on earlier 928s, but on my S4 you line up at TDC and then turn to 45deg before you start the surgery.
These cars are terrible... I tried to tell myself different but it is what it is...
Had a great laugh at "Honestly, 2nd car". 944 is my 3rd car after my E34 got totaled last summer, loving it very much but know I need to do this service pretty soon, thanks for making so many great vids about the car and this in particular.
Glad I found this. Been thinking about getting a 944 as a new toy but was put off by the cost of the belt service. Here I've seen just a belt and water pump job at over $2500. But I can do this for a lot less and now I won't drop the lifters!
Good joke,but time to walk away. Very wise. Back to the job at hand. Great instructional,thanks, can’t wait to get to mine.
Hey Casey! Question for you about 944s I picked up an 85 that hasn’t been running in 8 years and got it running with all new fluids, plugs, filters ecs. When it’s running I hear a slightly random tapping sounds from under the timing belt cover plate seemingly a little lower and to the right of the cap and rotor. I can also feel the tapping when I touch the cover but no where else. Do you have any ideas on what that might be?
Batteries by the firewall scare me. I guess by the 80's charging systems stopped trying to kill batteries but every pre-1970 car I've messed with has a big rust hole right where the battery sits. It especially sucks for unibody cars with the battery mounted above the frame rail :(
i get a kick out of this because when he was talking about having a buddy who is a mechanic that's what i got. he helps me with motors all the time and i fabricate custom piece's for him when he needs something. we trade labor all the time and it works great. I've slowly been teaching him how to tig weld different metals. and he has been teaching me how to work on motors. Recently been fixing and old 1986 square body plow truck and i have been helping with replacing rockers cab corners making a custom trans tunnel and replacing floors while he has been working on the motor in my drag truck for me.
Had to comment about your mention about P-51 maintenance and the guys knowing exactly how they worked. From what I understand that lack of both field maintainability and really good mechanics was a real issue within German forces.
Casey, can you please please please find a reason to LS swap a 944. Maybe not this one, alright this one. Supposedly there's a fairly straightforward kit and I think myself and others would be both interested and potentially inspired to tackle such a project if we could see it successfully done step by step.
I have another tip for changing timing belts if there weren't any timing marks or they are finneky.
My friend has 5 cylinder 2.0 turbo Lancia Kappa, to change timing belt you need to unscrew valvecover and replace two camshaft caps to locking ones (they are wider and they have slots for camshaft lobes).
What we did we set engine in the point where pistons are out of the way of the valves and paint timing marks on belt, camshafts and crank pulley, then we pulled off old belt and transfer all timing parks that we made to new belt.
If timing belt was done right last time there is no way to set timing wrong that way :)
@Casy Putsch, what do you think of older Cadillacs? By older I mean early 00'/90's and before.
First
Perfect channel. Looking to buy 944 or 928 right now so following the build!
I like how he does not try to sell a tool that he has been sponsored 💪🏾🙏🏿👌🏾👏🏾👍🏾😱🇯🇲🇨🇦👨🏾🔧
It's all nuts and bolts man. We have all had that I can't believe those just happened moments. Sometimes it's your fault and sometimes it's just not your day. I fought a trans all weekend and then some over a sprag that got put together backwards by accident.
This is why I like your vids. They contain warts and all. Everybody makes mistakes.
this is just what i needed to watch before pulling the engine on my 85 944! ive just finished machining the block and head for the engine im putting in it. as inspiration from my 78 scirocco im going with weber 45 dcoe carbs because i want something with a lot more pep for scca days
Where is everyone getting these cars for a few thousand dollars? Everywhere I see them, they are 7k for really poor condition, just under 9 for a decent one that's been maintained.
