Just for noting; I've done the intermediate shaft repair on the newer engine (a serious design flaw). I grew up with the air-cooled engines, Still have my mechanic's certificates from Porsche Audi and VW and attended the schools, and also had a thorough racing background. The air-cooled engines weren't perfect, they had chain tensioner issues, the seals would turn into concrete, freezing everything in place, but they are still great machines and I can't "Warm-up" to the newer engines. That's old age for you. In the seventies, I had to buy some of my own tools to work on the engines because the dealer in Tucson managed the tools so poorly. I was fired because I took too long to rebuild a badly damaged 911 engine while the fellow next to me was wiping covers off, so it looked like he had adjusted the valves. Rebuilding these engines is not a flat rate job.

Great series. One suggestion: when using the torque wrench adapter, keep the adapter perpendicular to the torque wrench. Allowing the adapter to run parallel with the wrench adds length, thus, leverage, resulting in an inaccurate torque value. Not a big deal with many applications, but fairly important with internals like connecting rods, etc.

I bought one of these engines back in 1986. It was to fit in a Porsche replica. Covin. The engine had destroyed itself due to the old 911 cars having a mild steel oil tank which corroded. Sending rusty oil through the engine. Porsche using a oil filter on the return instead of on the feed. After a complete rebuild I then grafted the engine to a VW beetle gearbox. Everyone said it could not be done but we managed it using a 924 clutch plate grafted to a 911 centre. The car went like a rocket but was not very fast due to the Beetle gearbox final drive ratio. Cost £500 for the blown engine. £350 for crank regrind & shells. Ran beautifully. It was a 2.2T engine with the triple I think Solex carburettors. Your build is superb.

Great video! I rebuild a 911 engine every 5 years or so and I'm always looking for reference material. To measure the deck height, use the plastigage on top of the piston. Assemble piston, cylinder and head. Slowly turn engine over by hand. If you feel any resistance, stop! Then disassemble and check plastigage for proper clearance. Add or subtract spacers to get the clearance where you want it. If the plastigage is slightly thinker when you test you will have lower compression, but more safety if you miss a shift. Can't wait to see the next video!!

I noticed that when installing the head studs using opposing nuts that you used open ended wrenches to tighten the nuts. I would recommend using the box end to avoid spreading the open end wrench flats. Just a thought to save the tool as you can exert more force on the box end. For any instance where you can use the box end during exerted force I would never use the open end. Beautiful build.

When you extend the length of a torque wrench by fitting a tool to give you access you change its leverage. You should use the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the tool. It has the same effective leverage it’s just offset. However you checked the stretch of the bolts and if in tolerance you are covered. Nice workshop setup I dream to have one like it one day. Good video work. Thanks Tony

a bit more detail on effects of extensions on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_wrench So most of the time handle extension is no problem. If the wrench mechanism rotate around the bolt i guess any extension would be fine.
@erikev4 жыл бұрын
@@TheAntoine191 You are dead wrong. Anthony W is correct. Imagine if the torque wrench is 0.1m long, and the extender tool is 1m. To torque to 100Nm "click" you must pull 1000N on the wrench (0.1m*100N=1000Nm). If we look at the torque as seen by the nut being torqued, the arm is 1.1m, and the force is 1000N, so the torque is 1000n*1.1m=1100NM or 1100% too much. The 90° is the normal rule to fix this, but what you actually need to do, is make sure the arm from your hand to the bolt is the same as the length of the torque wrench arm. It will be a little more than 90°.
@TheAntoine1914 жыл бұрын
@@erikev you say this because you're thinking it's the force that makes a torque wrench click when it's directly the torque that makes it click. All torque wrenches rotate around a pivot. Then a few torque wrench rotate around the bolt, those can be used with any kind of lever, crow foot or angle no prob. Same for electronic ones. They are instrumented to measure directly the torque not the force you exert. Then most torque wrenches have a measuring pivot close but not perfectly on the bolt. So those are intended to be used without extension or crow foot. However using a handle will mess the measurement but only a fraction because the measuring pivot is close to the bolt. Then an extended crow foot will mess it significantly more (bad idea). If you want a quick experiment for angle try to make a torque wrench click by pushing directly on it (0°). Even at a low setting it will never click because no torque is generated on the measuring pivot.
@earlygrayce32004 жыл бұрын
@@TheAntoine191 A torque gauge does not measure torque but measures force on the bar at a fixed distance from the pivot point and converts that to torque. The extension he was using is what is referred to as the Crows Foot and requires the equation as shown in the link because the effective reading point of the torque gauge is further away from the pivot point and angled. This would be evident to anyone with grade school level of physics. This is all irrelevant as his final measurement was of bolt stretch and not torque and I would hope that kavs911 would know this but telling us that or by using a ring spanner with the stretch meter would have clarified that he is not making a stupid mistake in an initial stage of the assembly. You post a link to reinforce your point but did not read the subheadings. Using handle or socket extensions requires no adjustment of the torque setting. Using a crow's foot or similar extension requires the use of the following equation.

Hi Kav I just got a torque wrench adapter as per the one you use the torque the rod bolts - with the instructions. To quote them: "when you mount the adapter to a torque wrench, you effectively lengthen it; therefore the torque value set on the actual wrench will not be the actual torque that you apply on the fastener... before using the torque wrench adapter you must recalculate the torque specification... you must use the extension formula included with the wrench". The formula is R =( T*L/L+A) where R = the corrected torque reading, T = the actual torque reading, L = torque wrench levees length (centre of grip to centre of drive), A = torque adapter length (the one you use is 3 inches). When using 3 inches for A, the torque wrench and adapter must be in line; if the adapter is positioned at an angle to the torque wrench, A will be decreased... when the adapter is at 90 degrees to the torque wrench, distance A will be zero... Hope this info is of use as I recall another poster saying something different, so I thought I'd quote directly from the manufacturer as I guess they should know what they are doing! Your work (and videos) are truly amazing and inspirational... my 2.0 normal is in rebuild at the moment; it is the first time it has been apart since 1973... Cheers

Thanks for taken time to reply, that was a nice build, but If the adapter is a fixed length, and the torque wrench delivers the fix torque you set it to, were does the torque wrench length come in, 100NM on any torque wrench is 100NM is it not, or did i miss something here, and was there a reason why you did not just use an extension bar and socket to torq the cap bolts up, as that would minimise the risk of errors, i know not so important if you measure the stretch, but in a torq only roll, you don’t add a risk if you can avoid it.

All is in its place and well organized. Your video reminds me of the perfection demanded of us. Your attention to minute detail is obvious as is your knowledge and forethought put into this project. For instance you took the time to explain why reusing sheet metal lock washers is a bad idea and measuring the length of a seated stud is a worthwhile precaution In dealing with a minor detail. Last but not least the engine manual was at your elbow, this speaks most directly to your professionalism. There is no guessing when the manufacturers detailed instructions are at your finger tips.

They use studs on the bottom and bolts on the top because it just makes getting the trans mounted easier (and the starter)...usually while in the car. Volkswagen did the same thing for years. Your definitely on the right track swapping them out for studs, especially since you have it out and will probably put the trans and engine back in as one piece....I would assume anyways. Much much much better...especially when working with aluminum/magnesium. Very cool, good work! Looks like your doing everything the appropriate way with the arp hardware and using the mic (stretch gauge arp calls it) and so on to measure your “torque” values, you won’t regret it.

You are doing or have done a great job. Just discovered your journey and a thoroughly enjoying it. What you are doing is aiming for perfection. Obviously perfection is never possible but by aiming for perfection you end up with a high quality professional level result. I am sure as you went along you could feel in your gut that it was progressing well because of your attention to detail and your controlled patient pace. I am an ex mechanic and am admiring your commitment to the task you have set yourself and your approach. :-)
