PORSCHE VarioCam Test & Rebuild (Episode 20)
Porsche 911 engines of this vintage have a few ways to die, I was busy preparing for an IMS-related injury and ended up finding the less tragic but tragically non-ironic demise from $50 worth of plastic Porsche doohickeys. While those plastic Porsche doohickeys may be cheap, you could pay thousands of dollars for a professional to access them, never mind all the “While you are in there’s” that may come up along the way……….

Having them on the wrong way is indeed a big problem! Back again to comment on your videos because I'm learning so much! But, the tiny holes on one of the cam-pads are where oil escapes the piston and the whole system and lubricates the chain. Without them in the right place the parts will wear unevenly. Good catch by you on the re-watch when you were looking at the previous "mechanic's" work. Very nice!

This is the best vid specific to the cam chain solenoids, actuators and pads. You make it look easy. No doubt the bank 2 pads mixed up couldn't be a good thing and were likely the cause of failure. From what I've read regarding age and mileage I'll be doing this job in a couple years.

Hello DSC800, A subscriber mentioned that those two holes on the lower are designed to control the flow of oil out of piston and that the green oring is to prevent the oil from going anywhere but out those holes. The jury is still out on exactly how that would lead to their early demise, it’s probably not good though 🤣😂. I feel someone should set up a “cam pads ‘r us” business and just churn through all the Porsche’s in their area for some bargain price. If someone was doing this on a regular basis they could make the price less painful (maybe) Thank you for watching 🤘😎

@@ManinaGarage I agree with the other commenters that those holes let the oil out which lubricates the chain. They having been put in the wrong way around meant no lubrication between pad and chain leading to accelerated and heavy wear that ultimately lead to the chain jumping two teeth (or am I mixing up your observation wrt 2 teeth jumped on bank1 and the pads swapped on bank2?). Anyway, to my understanding this is proof that no gear slipped on the IMS so no need to pin it. Also your observation early on when finding TDC that only one bank was misaligned (soot inside the combustion Chambers onjust one bank) would have meant that the gear that drives the exhaust cam would have had slipped not the gear that's been driven by the crank which is more susceptible to slipping apparently. I would put back the pistons as they are together with new rings if the bores check out in spec. Except the one that has the little spot where it flaked off. Anything other than ferostan (or ferroprint also by Mahle) combined with locasil is not proven nearly as extensive as ferostan/locasil.

@@bernardmclake3898 I agree but it's probably a hard decision at this point, to re-sleeve or not. It would save a lot of money to put it back together but then who wants to do all the same work again if it starts to score in 5 or 10k miles. There is a Hartech document that describes a locasil v.1 and a v.2 with the v.1 ending around the mid-2001 model year. V.2 was cheaper/faster. He backs it up with magnified images of each type (spoiler alert - v.1 is better with a finer grain that is easier on the skirts and less likely to flake). Also, it would have been the intake gear that slipped two teeth not the exhaust as this is driven direct by chain from the IMS.

I had no idea what that meant so that first winter in MY tiny garage, I dropped the engine and dove in! What the fuck did I know: hey it's not rocket science, right? The Bentley's and the internet were highly useful in keeping me from despair. I guess we are kindred spirits Finn, know no fear, hey, what's the worst that could happen?

Excellent video. You've found the problem in your motor. Are the cam actuators identical? Or are they designed to have the pads on the alternating sides? I'm guessing that the pad with the o-ring, is the one that 'bleeds' oil from the pressure being passed through it. The o-ring is to stop the oil leaking out, and the 2 small holes are drain holes. That's how it maintains correct oil pressure perhaps. Need to make sure that the pad with the o-ring is installed on the side of the actuator that has the oil hole. Of course, I have not built one of these before, so learning from what I see here too. Thanks for the videos.

You did a splendid job on those.

You'll definitely get invaluable knowledge on the inner workings of your machine. Plain white coffee filters are an alternative to Kimtech wipes. They're cheaper, lint-free, and a little bit more robust for cleaning. One could use shop towels as well but, in my experience, they kind of 'melt' in the presence of brake cleaner or acetone while coffee filters don't. Great job and looking forward to the next videos!

Loving these videos! Bought a 996 a couple years ago, so really enjoying seeing how these engines work. Now for a question for somebody that has experience with these cars - I was shocked to hear the chain had jumped 2 teeth. I would expect that to cause much more trouble than just a rough running engine. How many degrees does 2 teeth equate to, and how close was this engine to serious damage?
@DSC800
@DSC800 3 жыл бұрын
I don't have much experience with these engines but I believe the sprockets have 28 teeth, so 2 teeth off would be ~25 degrees (360/28 x 2). The Variocam is either on or off, advancing the intake timing 25 degrees when on. Since the exhaust sprocket is driven by the IMS chain it is not affected but the intake timing is retarded by the 25 degrees when Variocam is off and maybe this is just enough to cause the valve to contact the piston (seen in the earlier vid). ???

If you look at the metal plates the pads clip on to, one of them has a small oil hole in the centre. The pad with the holes also has an o-ring designed to seal around this oil hole, so the oil sprays through the two holes on the pad to lubricate the chain and doesn't leak away. These are on opposite sides on each bank, and it seems the manuals are describing bank 1-3 only. At least that's how I think it works! 😅

Finn, I had to watch this one again to get a better perspective on the variocam set up. It is more than a bit unsettling that your car died because of the plastic tensioner ramps. A selfish question here...do you know if Porsche addressed this issue and improved the ramps in subsequent years? Or was your failure just because the ramps were installed in the wrong position? I have an '06 997 and really want to believe that these variocam ramps will not become an issue. I have also learned that the IMS is not an issue in my engine, and I think that bore scoring will not be an issue given how I drive the car. This issue that you are having (had) with your engine is the one thing that I am uncertain about. Any thoughts? Thanks, buddy!

Hello Tom, I looked up some stuff on your car. You should have the larger single row ims bearing in 2006, not known for significant issues. Your car has an updated vario cam, more like the vario cam plus. I looked up chain guides for your car on pelican parts, they don’t seem to have any?? I think your car has a different system altogether. I know on the vario cam cars like mine that a durametric check of “Cam Deviations” while the engine is hot will give you an insight into the state of the little plastic timing chain guides. Anything over 5 degrees could be cause for concern. Not a decisive answer I’m afraid. but hopefully that gives you something to go on. 🤓

I have a question, will you be replacing the oil cooler in the car? I've read on some forums guys swapped out their stock cooler with a 997 one which gave a 15 percent cooler rate. The part number is 997.107.025.92 once I will tackle my 996 I don't want to go back in and do it right

Hello Mahmood, I had not heard of a benefit from replacing the 996 cooler with one from a 997, what forum was that on? I am replacing the oil returns with a set from a 997, the oil cooler thing sounds interesting..... Thank you for watching 🤘😎

Now I have a question... Don't you have to fill this variocam cylinders with motor oil, so on the first start of the car the chain don't jump a tooth due a slack in the system for lack of oil? Similar when you preload a old air cooled 911 carrera chain tensioner with oil And if that is true and I'm not mistaken, how do we do that?

Hello Ricardo! The large spring preloads the system hence the need to compress it with the special tool. If you filled the system it would just leak out again by the time the engine was reassembled, it needs oil pressure to work. Thank you for watching. 🤘😎

Hey can you do cylinder head porting at the same time ?

Hello Valhalla, That is a really good question, I am not sure what I'm going to do with the cylinder heads yet, presumably the valves need to come out and get cleaned. Polishing and porting the heads sounds like something to look into at that stage. Thank you for the heads up. Have a great day in the north country!

World order has been restored... Those small dots are oil channels right ? So no wonder that side was completely destroyed due lack of lubrication if they those dots are holes (hard to decipher from the video). Brutal how such a mistake can end up costing...

Yeah, no oil on the "push" side where needed most and they likely didn't fit the actuator properly, so they just didn't last.
