- In this episode we’re getting the engine bay ready for putting the motor back in which includes replacing the fuel filter, replacing the engine sound pad and refreshing the engine grounds.
Another great vid. I just bought the Pad Keeper. I am going to be doing this install this week. I really wanted leather sound proofing in the engine bay.
Thanks for love man, I'm glad someone is watching ;)
For what it's worth, replacing the pad is pretty simple, it just takes patience and time. I looked at the pad keeper, but it's more expensive than the replacement foam, BUT.... if your engine isn't out, pad replacement is a PITA, I'm sure. I decided on new foam because the old foam was so dry rotted, pieces were starting to fall down onto the engine and I don't want that in my intake.
I just completed the 60,000 mile service on my 993. I also replaced the two lower valve cover gaskets (Molykote 111 is your friend). I also replaced both the HVAC and oil cooler ballast resistors (what a pain!). I used an airbrush air compressor to 'force-feed' the Mobil1 75W90 LS gearbox oil (I had the car on jackstands in my garage.)
This project is about 12+ videos long so far and is by far the biggest job I've ever done. I started with just the clutch and it turned into 4-5k worth of parts!
thanks for putting these vids out, I cannot believe you don't get more likes or views on this subject or more specific the "993" repairs. One question, did you have to go through a Drive Cycle process in order to pass emission ? I had my battery disconnected for a while and now I cannot pass my local state Emission inspection, and the drive cycle is so dumb that where I live with all the traffic I have is nearly impossible. Thanks!
Thanks for the love man! I think these videos aren't more popular because I suspect there's few people that do their own work on these cars, and the shops don't need the videos.... but that's just me. I'd love to get more likes and views, but I made these videos for documentation purposes.
As for the drive cycle, I absolutely had to go through that process to pass inspection. There's no real way around it. In NYS you only need to have 5 of the 6 monitors on (and operating) within OBD2 to inspect the car
@@beardedgarage I have the same here, I'm located in central Jersey (5 out of 6) and I'm considering getting a classic vehicle registration as the car is 27 years old. That way I wont have to go for inspections every year on a vehicle that I don't even drive. '97 4S.
If you are not too far away from me I'd love to lend a hand if you pull the engine out again or any type of big jobs. I love these cars and my dream would be to have an S model 911, 1972 but the prices are ridiculous. BTW what is your background, are you a mechanic by trade or just hobbyist? Your shop looks pretty legit!
@@frxa2739 I love these cars too, and I love working on them. I’m just a hobbyist that’s been working on cars for 20 years. I’m lucky that I’ve made some really knowledgeable friends over the years and we bounce ideas off each other. As for big jobs, I have another 993 (1995 coupe) that I’d like to do an engine out job later this year and I’m planning on doing everything on that job (e.g. complete engine tear down)
If everything goes right, I’ll probably sell this 97 cab since I’ve got my eye on a few other collectible 911s like you.
Great video as usual, love the detail you put into these. I wanted to ask how you located and punched the holes through for the mounting studs that the plastic caps thread onto? Was it just a matter of pushing the pad onto the studs or did you have to use a punch to make the holes in the pads. Thanks again for making this.
I literally lined up the pad in the bottom corners in the back of the engine bay. Once it was completely in place, I just pushed the pad onto the studs.
