  • @valvemonky4734
    @valvemonky4734 9 месяцев назад +2

    just a comment on the smoke when you started it there is a thing called a air oil separater can be seen at 16:45 the round black thing they can fail and put a lot of oil in to the engin it has a diaphragm in that can fail .
    as the smoke cleared after a bit it probably isn't a problem but always worth concidering

  • @G40daily
    @G40daily 9 месяцев назад +23

    It’s common for Porsche engines to smoke from cold if they’ve been sitting as you get some oil seepage through the valve stem oil seals, which then sits in the flat cylinders.
    Probably did it a favour having a bit of extra oil in the cylinders for a will it start.
    Nice one!

    • @kw8757

  • @SabretoothBarnacle
    @SabretoothBarnacle 9 месяцев назад +20

    Alway got to be a bit careful with leaving the pump not 100% torqued down when testing. Not because of the obvious risks but because any EVAP system can throw a hissy that pressures are wrong which then can start to throw out trims etc as you in effect introducing an air leak to the engine. Nice work fellas, a satisfying episode 😊

    Hello BOTH, good to know that Chris is having a well earned rest in the sunshine. Hey Rob, you are not the only person who gets excited , here is me bouncing up and down waiting for the engine to start, so it did, and having had a dealership service recently, the engine runs well! After so much effort in checking everything over ROB - including that fuel pump, you deserve to be so pleased with yourself. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

    The blue smoke you noted is often caused by the AOS (air-oil separator) system. I would suggest
    the diaphragm in the AOS needs replacement due to age and inaction.

  • @trainmanbob
    @trainmanbob 9 месяцев назад +1

    You had every right to worry about the smoke. Cars bought "for a good price" are rarely this good, so naturally you go looking for faults. Sometimes Rob you find a little gem, and you certainly have here.
    You have done enough cars in your life to have a little more confidence in your judgement and like anyone mistakes happen but not that often. Chris should be showering praise on you for this one and with the addition of his magic touch this should be an absolute winner. Cheers, Bob

  • @chrispop99
    @chrispop99 9 месяцев назад +1

    I wouldn't change the fuel pump. The problem was probably only a stuck brush, or dirt on the commutator from not being used.
    A new pattern one would not be as good as a genuine, low miles original.

  • @ctiley2212
    @ctiley2212 9 месяцев назад +1

    After sitting for so long it would have been advisable to pull the plugs and spray some lubricant into the bores to prevent scoring from no oil on the bores or from any corrosion that may have occurred. Just a bit more preventative maintenance, especially with such a low mileage engine.
