    Vu, a really informative video. Thank you. A faulty AOS cratered my 2001 Boxster S engine at 90K miles. It never smoked, but thinking back on it, I clearly remember the squeal at start up. I thought it was a belt. When the engine blew up, I was going about 5 miles an hour in my office parking lot, turned, and there was a cloud of smoke like an F1 engine blowing up on TV. Its now a scheduled item at 30K miles for me.

    I now label baggies of parts and bolts, screws, etc. by writing where they go with a ball point pen on a 3"x5" index card and put one in each baggie. I have discovered that writing on the outside of the baggies will fade and wear off over time, especially if you handle the baggies when you have oily hands.

    I'm literally hoping my 1999 C2 fails just so I have a reason to have Mr Raby do his engine rebuild magic! 3.8 litres would be insane in this car.
    About to hit 100k near trouble free miles, with my luck, probably got one of those bullet proof engines that will last forever:(

    • @dr.mattpavlic305
      @dr.mattpavlic305 2 месяца назад +2

      I have a 3.8 in my 2001 now and it's been fantastic. Highly recommended. Don't wait until it fails - Raby has changed what engines are considered rebuildable vs not, so better to do it with a better engine than one that might not be salvageable.

    At least he didn't "over" sell the way over priced "U"AOS. Having the diaphram remote is nice but the guy selling it tries to make people think you will get hydro-lock the next time you turn the key if you don't spend 8x for his. A huge dose of fearmongering seems to go with ownership of these cars.

      Hah. You must not have much experience with the M96 on the track or street. No big secret, parts wear out and break. Eventually after 25 years you figure out which ones break more often than others, which ones cause major or minor damage, and which ones you may want to replace or upgrade before they do break. Your call on how you want to handle it.

    I think it is a mistake to have people on this channel that sell or repair items. They have every intention to just try to sell more stuff. I will use my experience has an example. I purchase a C4 new in 2000. The car now has 196,000 miles. I have had three IMS bearings. All were in perfect shape but with no visible wear. Companies have made a fortune selling unnecessary IMS bearings by continuously making people like me worry needlessly. These same companies now say this is part that should be replaced as normal maintenance. Every time this is replaced they profit from it. Why would they not want you to buy as many as possible and call it preventative maintenance? Everytime you mention catastrophic IMS failure you are just doing their marketing.

    • @YBSSRide
      @YBSSRide 2 месяца назад +5

      100% agree. It's all structured to get you to pay $800 for a bearing that costs less than $30, and the multi-page terms are written so they will never have any liability. Too bad so many prop them up too, here and on the forums. Kind of an odd dynamic really.
      Vu, I could watch Nathan Merz talk about the subtle differences over the years for hours. Infomercials like these that the shillers don't even pay for, not so much. Not sure this is what PCA RUclips should be about. JMHO.

      Jakes experience is immeasurably vast and important. I’m not sure if you watched the e tire video before you commented but his wealth of experience can’t be missed. I replaced every item he mentioned and more at his suggestion when Jake built my 06 Boxster to a 4.3L. Never once felt pressured. It’s penny wise and pound foolish to cut corners.

    • @aneben7
      @aneben7 2 месяца назад +2

      Jake has seen and worked on more Porsche motors over the years than almost anyone else. To ignore his recommendations because he may make a few pennies just doesn’t make sense. In all of my dealing with Jake he is as honest and straightforward as they get. If he didn’t think you needed something he built he would say so.
