- Wow there's a lot of parts here. I'm experimenting with videos outside of what I usually do here, and this is the first of a few I have planned. Let me know what you think, I was just happy to find the cause of all that noise. M96 engines can be fun.

Everyone excited for Freevalve Miata Pt. 2 next week?!
Yes! You use electronic activated pneumatic valves right? Whats the plus on going with pneumatic and not just all electric actuators?
Definitely!!!
Yessir🥺
Definitely, it's my favourite series on YT right now! Ever since I saw Koenigsegg explaining the tech and its advantages I thought "why isn't this a retrofittable kit?" And here you are, blowing me away making it by yourself in the garage! Really really cool!
Yessir!
This channel needs to blow up before you get the V12 swapped!
"This is not a guide to disassembling an M96 engine. This is a guy playing with a bunch of scrap metal in his garage that coincidentally looks much like an M96 engine."
Pretty much, yeah.
You're the kind of guy I aspire to be. Really interesting content, I for sure wouldn't mind more videos in this format! Now I need to get back to studying to become a mechanical engineer haha
Thanks! I have another coming out soon that’s a bit more technical.
your profile picture completes your message to perfection
Layperson artist here, agreeing with the format.
Very interesting. I just tried to take mine apart and I didn't get anywhere near as far as you did. My head bolts were not budging for anyone ;)
fancy seeing you here!
Jeff, are you going freevalve in Roxstar? 🤭✌️
Spoiler alert Jeff, I haven't seen your ep yet!
Wait, home built by Jeff is here!?!?
You sure? The left side head bolts are reverse threaded on flat-6 Porsches to keep them from backing out.
I am extremely excited, watching you engineer parts and literally build an f1 car from the ground up has been a journey I hope to see continue, keep up the amazing work👍
Thanks so much! I’m excited to keep doing it, glad people like to watch it!
Just a side note, these motors don't have cam cover gaskets. Typically when removing the Cam covers, a compound called Drei Bond (silicone 1209) is used.
Exactly, it just looks like RTV to folks who don't know that it's supposed to be there.
how does this guy not have all of the subs!!!!! Keep up the good work, I cant wait to see that v12 purr
Thanks a ton!
Really like the longer format, something relaxing about watching and engine teardown! Cant wait for the next free-valve video!
Glad you enjoy it! Next week!
Nice Job! Love seeing the parts laid out like that. Might have to do that when I rebuild my G16A.
Thanks! Same here, If nothing else it's an effort in organization.
@@WesleyKagan Probably a little therapeutic too.
Really liked the disassembly. I love videos that show in depth how to work on an engine. So if you ever do an assembly video, please do it in the greatest details. I‘m also always interested in where people get the necessary torque specs for each part :)
Loved the longer format!! Can't wait for the free valve video! Just about ever car enthusiast on the planet would love to have free valves!
I came across your videos by accident but I am happy that I did. I like the way you do stuff. You explain but it's not overly complicated and you back it up with knowledge. I like the longer video format
You're getting way better in front of the camera. I get pumped to see your videos pop up. Keep it up man.
Thanks! Will do!
your content is truly fantastic. I'm very glad I found your channel a while ago
Thanks man. Never seen the inside of a 6 cyl Porsche engine.
The M96 motor, like many VAG motors, don't actually have a gasket for the valve cover/cam girdle. They use an anaerobic sealant instead. Dreibond 1209 is the product specified by Porsche
came down to mention this - I too hate the way many people use RTV, but in this case it really should be just sealant.
Thanks for the fun to watch teardown!
New subscriber from mid-Canada. Good tear down video. Your thoughtful narration helps make it. I wish more engines had that stacked modular structure.
I could watch you work, explore, build for hours!
Wonderful content! I love how you don't put on a personality. You are just yourself.
You're good on camera and knowledgeable, looking forward to seeing you really take off soon.
I absolutly love these videos!!! Let's get it put back together even better!!!
Yes! Longer videos! Excellent content
Bless that brave little connecting rod for not fracturing.
Really interesting to see a Porsche engine teardown. I had no idea it was so different from the normal design. Thanks, Wes. Looking forward to the Freevalve progress next week.
Absolutely love your stuff!
I did that to my Kawaski Concours trying to chase down a knock...
it was a rod bearing...
I had ever intention of reassembling the motor...
found a used one for like $400 and that seemed way more likely to succeed.
it was fun tearing it apart though.
Weird design choices seem to be a common theme in German automotive engineering.
New here but totally binged through 4 vids tonight. I too learned about engines by taking them apart. Loved the format and will be a regular visitor.
Thanks!
That was an awesome job Sr.
Awesome video, my 981 Cayman has a similar engine and it’s amazing to see these motors pulled apart
The treat is wonderful!
This is why I like your videos: 3:25 could've easily cut and edit the wrong quick answer, but you kept it. Says a lot about you and your approach to building, and I like and appreciate that.
Keep it up, your project(s) is/are very interesting.
Yes, do more of these.
Love...absolutely love this format of video!
Awesome! Thank you!
love your videos man
WOW Great Job!!
Great! Love the long format...
Fantastic job on the strip down of the M96 motor, I did one myself over Christmas. Love the free valve on the Miata too! I would really like to see a free valve on this motor, it could fit really well on the the head where the valve cage / matrix bolts on.
we love your content man ! keep going :)
Thank you!
Do what you have fun doing bro
keep up the hard work!! I am currently studying automotive (off-highway) engineering you are living my dream, I am trying to swap the miata engine into a triumph spitfire and really excited about your development retrofitting freevalve technology to a Maita.
This guy deserves WAYYYY more views and recognition because he's absolutely hilarious and does give a single f***.... What a legend
Super interesting video. Thanks.
Nice vid man
Really fun to watch
Thanks a ton!
Great video! I definitely enjoy this kind of longer videos
Good to know! Thank you!
Very nice this! Cant understand why your channel has so few subscribers. Thanks!
The silicone gasket on the covers is what is used from factory. It's interesting that the big end failed. These commonly fail and 'knock' because the Nikasil on the piston walls break down. There are a few ways to fix it but the best is with an iron liner
I was going to leave the same comment. That RTV joint is a common source of leaks on these engines and you need to pull the engine to do the repair.
Subscribed this is just so sick!
loved the video👍👍👍
love the longer videos, keep it up
Glad you like them!
keep the great content coming! I love your vids
Thanks, will do!
Finally got around to binge watching your channel should've did it sooner some of my favorite CZcams content so far. I remember hearing rod knock in your first test drive video was gunna comment and say something glad to see your awair and on top of the issue before the crank got destroyed. Your v12 throttle body videos has inspired me to convert my 1980 Honda gl1100 goldwing to fuel injection I've been planning on supercharging it with a used or reman. Aisin Amr500 roots blower my only hang up was figuring out the right blow through carb after seeing your video I think the hayabusa modular throttle body is the perfect candidate for the conversion do you have any recommendations for a stand alone fuel management system preferably diy open source where I can use cheap off the shelf sensors and whatnot.
Good work that man. Just done the same to mine. RTV instead of gasket? 4.53 That’s how they came from the factory. There’s no gasket for the cam covers, the oil pan or the engine cases.
Excited about the free valve Miata!! Quick question, how did you design the suspension for the Porsche?
dude cannot put into words how much i love what you are doing, i was thinking of using r1 throttle bodies on my V12 C9/11 build just struggling to source my engine! love love love... Matt :) please if you need any 3d stuff hit me up :) a car model, motion graphics anything. keep up the cool stuff cannot wait until next episode
Love the vid
Man, your videos are awesome, i realy enjoy your videos. Hi from Spain.
Thanks so much!
Just a few rpm away from goin thru the block. You caught it just in time.
Yes!
Enjoy watching your journey. How is the V12 swap going?
I dream of taking apart engines like this. Can't wait to have the room and finances for it :)
Bro's got Diver Down
Comment for the algorithm 👍
excellent
Love it!
I guess I still like the boxer engine on the F1 car better but that’s just if I were going to drive it. It’s amazing what you do!
Good ol Porsche
4:51
If you have RTV lying around but you don't have a gasket lying around...
Been there done that at 3am.
When you need to finish up, you need to finish up.
How is that cam cover that clean?
I'm a european mechanic in the rust belt and i love triple squares! Extremely hard to strip out when compared to allen and torx.
Oh, you were just talking about 12 pointed hex bolts. lmao. Yeah, im with you, those things tend to suck.
i just learned that there is a difference, but i think the xzn/triple square is only available as internal, as in the bit goes inside the screw, while the 12 point is only available as external, which goes on top of the screw or bolt
@@faxxzc yeah thats correct. Unlike torx there is no external version of triple square.
But ill stand by my statement; of thr internal drive fasteners triple squares can by far take the most torque. If you have the tools they rock.
@@Stoppahpowah yes definitely, they are amazing. Have yet to strip one out. Unfortunately you cant really buy triple square screws on the free market yet for a reasonable price. Even torx is still significantly more expensive than standard allen screws
Looking forward to the freevalve video and i learnt not to take engines apart at 2am cause you will likley loose a bolt lol
nice one dude, thanks :)
I can't wait to see the video for next week. As much detail as possible please
After watching this I kind of got the vibe that Subaru did it better. All in all it was a good watch, thanks.
Nice work, who doesn't love taking apart big oily paperweights into smaller paperweights
This is painfully accurate
Great video 👍 In my next video I will build a parts self😊
Do a video series on how to get things done. I wanted to but had no time and haven't quite gotten my stuff done. ;)
These engines do not come with cam cover gaskets from the factory. The use a style of rtv sealant like Drei Bond.
I wish I could do this. I don’t even know how to get to the level of knowledge you have..
Just last week I saw someone’s Boxster engine on their garage floor - with a big hole in the block.
It was reason number 7 - oil starvation due to blocked pickup. Previous owner had messily used silicone instead of a gasket.
Yeah, it happens. There's M96 killer corners that cause oil starvation.
The only valve cover I've seen like that Porsche one that actually use rtv is a Mercedes v6 used in the sedans and r350
2:28 "and you don't need any of this complex stuff" no, you just need other, more complex stuff lol
What camera do you use? It’s great quality
There isn't supposed to be a valve cover gasket between the valve cover and head on that engine because the Cam Caps are integrated into the valve cover. If you had a gasket between those surfaces it would cause clearance issues.
What, you did a whole M96 video without chanting IMS RMS IMS RMS IMS RMS ?? Not even once?? The internet has told us exactly all of the M96s have blown up by now. Great video as usual, thank you.
Hah, I thought about it. Strange thing is, my RMS and IMS were perfect. Go figure.
More outtakes at the end of vids please!
Very interesting, new to your chanel, nice guzzi .
would it be possible to see in the near future a M96 build and how to keep it running properly or fix all the issues highlighted?
Good vid. No need for music. Keep up the great work.
and great Moto Guzzi in the background ;-)
Nice
Nice Tudor BB GMT!:P
looking forward to the free valve conversion video. ESPECIALLY as frevalve inc will not send partsd, info, or any other helpful DIY conversion info....
Wesley, How old are you? How did you learn all this stuff?
I am amazed!!
Yes.
Would love to watch the whole process on twitch if possible. Is that the 2.5/2.7/3.2?
Please show inspection of IMS and the bores :)
Ahh, the famous Vanos device in a Porsche engine. I like the cage around the crankshaft, seems to save some weight.
Ironically I haven’t seen a ton of failures of VVT solenoids, at least for the variocam F1’s. The Plus is a different story
