I'm so happy that quality content like this is available for free.

So much respect for these guys! The complexity is mind boggling and their passion and diligence is humbling! These guys are geniuses! So many Porsche drivers have no clue what they are driving! As a petrol head I am humbled!

Reminds me of the flat 6's you get in many small airplanes. This video really makes me appreciate the beautiful simplicity of my LS1 and LS6 though.

I have a 993 with the 3.6 flat 6, it's cool to look at the motor with the hood up and marvel at the packaging aspect alone, especially keeping in mind it started out as a 2.0 liter flat 6. Over the decades all of the ad-ons and improvements to that motor it is truly an amazing piece of work to behold.

I never have a problem taking engines apart it’s the putting them all back together that gets me. 😂

That was freaking awesome, thanks for showing the guts of an air cooled porche engine!

thank you putting out content like this. i am in school right now and training to become a certified technician and hopefully be able to earn ASE certifications. I have always liked porsche but until i came across this video today i realized that i have never seen a porsche teardown or just being worked on in general. I have dealt with audis bmws and benzs but never a porsche. It was really cool to see a detailed and kind of "light hearted and fun" video of something most guys would never even think of tackling due these machines having a notorious reputation of being difficult to work on. keep up the content!

I almost enjoy watching engine tear-downs more than engine building

These guys are expert at what they are working.... They do know each nut bolt component in the engine....

wow...these motors are so complex! Thank you for documenting this awesome build, I can't wait to see more.

what an amazing design. complex and bullet proof. I am so in love my 930 !

Looking forward to the rebuild!

For a car that's basically 30 years old ,it still has a timeless design. Good luck with the build.

Great videos as always, keep them coming.

Thanks for taking the time to post these episodes. Very interesting...and no doubt, expensive. Best wishes!

I need more! Great work! Awesome channel!

Such a cool thing to see, thanks guys! No one shows the detail of engines like this on youtube.

What an exceptional process !

Great video series! I used to have an '86 911. Never tore into the engine but dropped it once to replace the clutch. That engine looks so different than anything else. It's a total contradiction of amazing engineering and at the same time kind of a big mess. The fuel system looks like it was pulled off an old diesel tractor. The crankshaft and the caps are amazing. Love the way the air is routed.

Thanx for doing these videos. I've never seen inside one of these. Looks ungodly expensive, though!

Great Post. Thanks.

Thats a cool engine design! I always wanted to see what these engines looked like on the inside! Much excite PT!

really enjoyed that - thanks

Awesome episode I've been hanging for this keep em coming great job Pete

Thanks for sharing. More video pls...

i am loving this

Awesome video! I love how they did the engine cooling and heat.

I love that I get to watch this process, but I can only imagine those guys get tired of your video commentary as they're working

Very satisfying

workin on these engines look really fun! awesome video as always!:)

Learning so much about Porsche engineering thanks guys

awesome video brother. my favorite part was watching the cylinder walls come off which I found to be amazing how easily they came off. although very complicated to work on no doubt.

impressive. thank you

Thanks for posting these vids. Thumbs up from the GTA. Hope to see your car around!

Awsome video man

great vid, thanks for sharing Pete!

I think this will be a epic serie! I never liked the 911 design untill i saw a video about Magnus Walker.... then i fell in love...

I love watching tear downs! Those air cooled engines share similarities to old school motorcycle engines when it comes to cylinder configuration. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one! Thanks for sharing.

Really like this type of projects Getting a neglected great car and giving it some love and what it deserves Keep it up! Love to see all the details of the teardown

great episode! cant wait for the next one

Very interesting to see the engineering in an early Porsche engine. Man that red one revving at the end sounded Siiiiiiick!

This shop video is awesome

this is a sick series. can't wait to see the first fire up.

great Doc . BTW!

Thanks for leaving in so much detail. Most shows cut out the interesting nerdy bits

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Wow...excellent video. I'm struck by just how similar these air cooled engines are to the design of the 78 Honda CB750 my son & I rebuilt last year. A lot of similar technology for the time period, I suppose. Thanks for posting these videos. This is awesome!

What a piece of engineering

more!

Wow, this is like a Discovery channel or Learning channel documentary where they show the surgeons preform an operation! No seriously, I always thought these had a direct actuated valve train. I never knew they had rockers, that's really interesting! Thanks for the video!!

Best aircooled flat6 teardown video I've seen. I was watching this on a threadmill and people actually stopped by to watch lol.

Awesome

Thank you for this video. I was contemplating a lease or buying my wife a new Porsche Cayenne, however after watching this video and the complexity of the components on this engine, I m definitely opting for a new LEXUS !

wow nice never seen a Porsche motor taking apart very interesting

Way too cool!!!

Very cool,

learned alot

Great video for us gear heads, NO MUSIC! thanks for posting.

hell yeah yesss baby do it do it yesssss I love it

I think I'm addicted already and it's only my second episode

This is pretty cool. Makes me want to rebuild an air-cooled Porsche engine in my garage. None of it looks that hard to work on, especially considering the BMW V8's that I'm used to.

And now - put everything together again!

Someone actually thumbed this down??? This is one of the most interesting teardowns I've watched. We all know how to do a normal engine teardown, and I've seen VW teardowns, but nothing like this before. Very interesting. Thanks for going into the level of detail you did instead of just "Wham bam, it's tore down ma'am"...

That old fuel system is really interesting. It's outdated and useless now, but I love seeing the engineering they used in early fuel injection systems.

UPGRADE EVERYTHING!

Hey its a HEMI FLAT 6 NICE!

Why do Porsches cost so much? This illustrates it pretty well. In all seriousness this was a fascinating video. There is so much more to these engines than I could have possibly imagined. Amazing.

great video Pete always fun to watch, I can wait to see all the upgrades you throw in its gonna be epic, side note can you give up a price breakdown on what something like this might cost

It was nice to see Stewart Little make an appearance

The timing chain is like the endocrine system of the engine!!!

Very cool. These cars are still horrendously expensive here in Australia and unfortunately out of the reach of the average enthusiast. Will be watching with interest!

Almost a year since the last update.. This was a good video thanks! Hopefully we get an update before 2017!

good episode P.T.! I was having a similar feeling of bewilderment watching that thing come apart. I'm poor, I had no idea the head of a Porsche was designed that way! Look at a Subaru opposed motor and the head still looks conventional. Very cool, very different. keep it up! then get back to Canada and get the badass2000 running lol I'm dying here.

Helpful Tip: With stubborn and rusted studs and nuts, apply heat with a torch then place a wax candle onto the surface. The wax will melt and find its way into the threads acting as a lubricant. It works wonders. Must be seen to believe how well it works.

Timing chain replacement difficulty level: over 9000!!

I love the video. How are you planning on removing the snapped bolts Pete? I would like to see an episode on that.

To couple all the wires together, what software did you use, or in house.. Best idea I saw

FYI I found muriatic Acid to work wonders on rust, litterly 15 minutes of sitting on a totally rusted fuel line fitting and bam off like it was brand new. Highly recommend you guys give it a try when the situation arises. Home hardware is the only place in sask I found that sold it. Dont know how different things are in Ontario

When done , back to Canada EH.

Keep posting hose videos - very interesting to see the inside!

Watching this high was so much more entertaining

No IMS bearing failure on these, double row timing chain with hydraulic tensionners on the same side. No variocam stuff either to mess about etc, what I like the most in this to see the evolution compared to an early 911 engine with less stuff on it but you still recognize what makes these engines so good. I hope that one day I'll be able to just throw washers, nuts and engine guts all over the floor and rebuild without forgetting even one thing :D Except for a few broken exhaust nuts and the wankel style piston ring (not a rotary basher I like these too a lot ^^) your engine seemed to be in good shape, the poor mouse on the other hand, not so much :D

its one thing being watch while doing it, imagine having a camera always in your way when your trying to work on the engine!! the air among them is quite dense, but money has to be made!

Is your engine magnesium case? and if so did you install time serts in stud holes and case bolts?

I thought porn was ilegal in youtube!?

great video!!!!...best part of the video was the dead mouse just there.....I was like can you PLEASE REMOVE THE MOUSE... then work on the engine! lol

that mouse stayed there for the whole teardown. will he be there for the rebuild?

real education here

happy I found this channel, question where can I get the tee shirt...gotta have one...

Hey guys i'm about to recive 930 natural aspirated. It is not starting so i will make a full inspection. Just want to ask how far i can disassamble the engine without taking it out from the car. Thank you.

did you upgrade it a bit??

Very interesting! I didn't know that Porsche used a mechanical fuel injection. What is the injection pressure? Nice work!

I was confused there for a second, I was listening to the background music and thought this was Offbeat Garage!

By far my favorite project vehicle of the Speed Academy. I can't imagine what this costs, even in a 30 year old Porsche its gotta be expensive.

Who makes that valve adjusting tool ?

hi bro how much rebuild 930?

For me as a german the term "Benzin-Verteiler" is much easier to pronounce than "fuel distributor"! :-D By the way: What a great channel!

How did the 930 cool the turbo? I imagine it would get incredibly hot. Did it rely only on oil cooling and the main fan cooling shroud?

never pry open anything that is supposed to be oil/air tight!! just tap lightly with a rubber hammer and it will go out. it can damage de mating surface and cause oil leak. but overall nice video!! **especially when ther is no proper rubber gasket going there** like your timming chain covers

Hi, Thanks for the video. I wish you have an extra spare of Porsche 930 3.3 930/66 1989 crankcase Lh and Rh. I would like to buy it. Cheers!
