- How much does it cost to rebuild a Porsche 911 Engine? The air cooled engines are an art in themselves. In this video, I show what it cost to rebuild a 1984 Porsche 911 3.2L motor.
Great video Thomas! Thanks for clearing up some of mystery around the costs associated with rebuilding these engines. Much appreciated!!!🙌🏻
Wonderful. The perfect daydream fix on this cold, gray January day.
Glad to see that you use an engine test stand in your build process. So many issues\items can be resolved\checked quite easily by running the engine outside of the car. Well done, Sir!
What a beautiful piece of engineering in comparison to today's engines. Runs beautifully, thanks for sharing Thomas 🙂
Hugely useful video. Thank you.
Just a word of advice. If you have a new cam please break it in when starting an expensive build. Don’t let it idle
Very good video enjoyed seeing how you went about your rebuild I have a 1974, 911 with a 2.7 L engine and it has the magnesium engine case which I had to do upgrades on that engine case. I had to have case savers installed for the head studs and I installed new head studs, but I did not go with the head studs that are the racing grade I went with the standard aftermarket, steel studs. I did install new pistons and cylinders new timing chains and I upgraded the engine to, the higher output, oil pump with the oil bypass modification for that engine and other important thing is to find a Porsche a qualified machine shop, which I did in the state of Washington and the person that rebuilt my engine was a Retired Porsche Mechanic working out of the shop at his home which save me a lot of money. From what I’ve learned on Having, The, Engine, and Transmission rebuilt and replacing a lot of worn out parts on the car body. You should have a very good income and you should plan on having two wheelbarrow loads stuff completely full of disposable cash to spend on the project. Also to save yourself a lot of cash disassemble the engine yourself and take it to the machine shop and shop the Internet and source all of your parts. There’s a lot of the Internet companies that deal in Porsche Parts I shopped around four or five different companies define who had the exact part I wanted and purchased it at the cheapest price to help hold down the cost.
Need to include the cost of the oil pump inspection, oil coolers being professionally cleaned and pressure checked and oil lines cleaned or replaced replaced. Would not want to get any old contaminated oil into a new engine. Nice video.
Great video! This stuff is super important content for air cooled owners. I rebuilt my '89 3.2 last year as it has several cracked head studs when I did the PPI so I was able to negotiate the engine rebuild into my purchase price. I did a cammed 3.4 build and I'm loving it.
Impressive 😊
Vielen Dank für dieses aufschlussreiche Video bezüglich der Restaurierung bzw. der Kosten für einen Sechszylinder Porschemotor / Porsche 911. Ich freue mich schon auf die folgenden Videos zu diesem Thema!
You mean only $7,600...😮wow, great price 👏 is this just for the parts ? Including labor ?🤔
Nice job! it would be good to see a dyno run once its run in? extra bucks tho
Beautiful Laguna Blue 914/6 in opening of video
That's expensive to remove studs!
Where are you located? I have a 1973 911 T with mechanical fuel injection that needs a rebuild. Engine is in the car. Spark plugs and rotor cap missing. Not sure if it runs.
Did you build that test stand? What components did you use?
Answer: Usually more than people can afford, not to mention the condition of the transaxle and the rest of the car
Nothing...... Everything...
I've got a 1985 3.2 liter motor that needs a rebuild 😅What's my price 👍
