Insurance Quoted $28,000 For a NEW MOTOR... We Fixed It For $20 Instead!

- čas přidán 16. 12. 2022
- We bought the cheapest clean title Porsche 981 Boxster in the world. This Porsche was only $19,200 at the salvage auction. Unfortunately after further research the shop quoted to replace the entire engine. So to rebuild this car for cheap, we ended up getting it running for just 50 cents. Will this motor blow up or will our cheap fix of just replacing the oil pan hold up?

This car was backed off a trailer onto gravel, where the exhaust hit the ground and scooped some up.
It may well have backed off uncontrolled and hit something that flipped up under it, causing all that damage. I doubt some little old lady did that.
That noise you heard may have been caused by gravel and dirt in the exhaust.
That's exactly what happened to me, I used a shop vac.
That is what i figured too!
yes, that was no little old lady...
that was a big ol' lady
I mean you could put in 1-2k into the undercarriage and maintenance of the engine and you've got a clean title Porsche with under 20K miles. I'd consider that a homerun
Big risk big reward
Just can't let the new owners know of the previous damage or they will lowball u lmao 😂
@@memesyandhorrorshorts if it's fixed there's no reason to disclose it
Buying unseen car, going under it with out jackstands, your oil ideas. Someone should be broke or dead. Hopefully just broke.
Wouldn’t you just drain all the oil first before filling it so you know you’ve put the correct amount in? And not worrying about over/under filling it?
Yup realized that too late
@@JRGarage and I realised too late that you guys commented on your own mishap! Loving the daily content at the moment! Max respect from the uk!
Seriously I mean no hate but there are a lot of kids working on their cars watching CZcams shows like this and that was just downright stupid. Always drain the oil... needed to check it for metal shavings or pieces due to the damage too...
Drama makes people watch , are you stupid, there not, there acting, fools or did they just forget lol, yeah right 👉
Yeah, DUH!
The fact that you uploaded this at 2 AM in an airport after hours and hours of flight during your vacation really gives added value. Thank you for always giving us great content guys!
Thanks for the info I'm watching this the next day 2 a.m. in Arizona okay late night working on a car sounds fun
This comment right here! Thank you. 2am in Singapores airport after a 18 hour flight still had to get it up!
How do you guys not have a lift?
They have no money for that 😁
I’ll wager it’s because that’s an airport hanger and they’re not allowed to install one :/
Probably correct, and I bet the rent is cheaper off airport grounds. Next warehouse?
Yes, but there are lifts with counter balance. No need for anchors.
You beat me to it lol. But watching his under the car. Was cringey. Imagine something slips
Gun shot from inside, bullet bounces off the road/floor and ricochets back to the oil pan.
Car skids as driver or passenger panic and slides backwards to a stop into gravel.
That's my guess.
Woah that is a wild guess but it could be true, you never know
@@JRGarage the damage is clearly of coming from the inside.
If the car had somehow landed on a rock the tear would be going into the floor. Also, seems a clear lack of any other similar tears or scrapes anywhere else and the oil pan looks like it's been hit hard by something small.
Isn't there a paraffin test for gun powder? Hole looked shot gun size.
Pretty plausible to me … is there a hole inside ?
You have to definitely start writing movies
Next time, just remove the sump, tap out dent and take to shop to aluminum weld the cracks. Last time I did this cost $20 (long time ago)..
As many have already noted, draining the remaining oil would have been a good idea. When I used to buy old bikes cheap and work them over I would first drain the oil and then inspect both it and the oil filter to see what might have been going on, if anything. Also would pull the plugs and "read" them to see how the mix/burn was. I know pulling plugs is much more difficult in a Porsche but at least starting with reading the oil filter/oil is a good bet when checking out a potential problem motor. This applies to any possibly crapped out car/bike. You really had the Porsche light shining on you on this one!
Yeah, drain and refill. I'd even change the filter, because you can learn a lot from examining what's in the filter. I just can't believe they didn't check oil level after filling. Didn't they say it reads on dash after shutting off engine?
Also, I believe the plugs on a 987 are pretty easy to get to behind the rear fender liners.
Rocks in the exhaust = backing it up on gravel tow yard or auction yard while being towed behind roll back with front end up in air and muffler dragging?
Yep
Exactly what I was gonna say.
I definitely would have welded the pan and floorboard.
Yeah seems like a waste to buy a new pan when that crack would be pretty easy to weld up
Man that was 20 minutes of anxiety... a bit of reflection would do you both justice. Drain oil, look for metal in oil. Refill with correct amount of oil. Definitely do NOT drive this car to the porsche specialist until you have the correct amount of oil. No hate, but you could have totalled what was a perfectly ok engine just with the oil pressure.
@ryandevillers214 He's a kid full of passion. He does seem to rush things. He'll slow down and think more when it costs him way too much not to.
Why wouldn't you just pull the drain plug to see how much oil was in it?
Exactly. Just adding oil is not good
Just drain the oil sump, measure it and you can tell how much oil was lost.
You guys should buy a quickjack it’s like $1,500 if you don’t want a lift
The rocks in the tail pipe are usually when a tow truck drops it they had the bed too high and crammed the pipe into the gravel at a lot.
13:50 you need to use a smaller rag to clean the oil off the pan.... The JB Weld should have been done from the inside. Remove the pan, clean, then apply the weld. That was it’s already on the pressurized side. Most Porsche engines use 9 qts of Oil. If this is the 2.7 liter that could be the reason for the 8 qt.
I need the light you had down on the floor? Where May one purchase it? A Porsche always gets a return on money!! Parts and or fix it!!
Wow. You know, I'm 43 years old and although I have always admired beautiful automobiles I have never considered looking at or buying a porsche or other fancy sports car because of the cost being so way out of my league, mostly, and like who would I be in such a fancy car. However, you make it seem like a much more attainable dream. Thank you for sharing your automotive vision. I enjoy your content.
The gravel is 100% from being lowered into a gravel lot from the flatbed look at the scuffs under the tip
That’s the first thing I thought.
Exactly...
I figured someone backed it up into a pile of gravel.
Or "Rock Squirrels". You have to watch out for Rock Squirrels. Tough little guys ....
Sometimes when the CoPart puts them on their lot the lower exhaust pipes get damaged or gravel in tips. Not a big deal. Just pull the gravel out before you drive it.
Definitely looking forward to this. They have quite the untapped potential and the 6s sound great.
You and me both!
Bro I would have so much anxiety being that close to the car while it’s on jacks
put a spare wheel under it so if it comes off the stand it limits its fall.
Top was down hit by a small asteroid right through the floor ! 😂
you can buy a dip stick, the whole where it goes is just plugged i got one for mine
Gravel on the exhaust is from the forklift at copart moving it at an angle ... being a low car
Ahhhh this could be it!
You lucked out so hard. Just an oil pan? That’s so lucky
It is worth checking to see if that oil pan can be repaired
That damage in the floor is from a gun shot
I don't see how there could be many other explanations with that outward damage.
LOL searching for the key fob...what a great little jokey flex :)
When the car comes off the flatbed at the auction yard it scraps the ground and you get rocks in the exhaust cause the yard is gravel top. I would have never thought to vacuum the car as the first step in getting this Porsche running but it worked. LOL
I might have drained the old oil out before adding any new. I'd want to check to make sure there were no filings or aluminum chips broken away from the inside of the impacted pan. As you described about the blown-out floor board, something blew that hole out leaving jagged edges.
It would have been safer than risking an aluminum chip or chuck going through the oil sump and then the engine. But since you've had no problem on the video, you guessed right for a car you're probably going to flip.
M mm
No. No
drives me nuts how manufacturers deliberately delete useful service features ..like dipsticks, ..or access to pans (another vid about a Range Rover). maybe this model has an "oil low" indicator. if one exists and is not on you're probably good to drive easy while watching oil pressure. oh, just saw that you've got a replacement pan. when that goes in all you'll have to do is measure.
congrats on a great find! 🙂
Man I love every time you turn the radio comes out a really cool song 😂😂😂😂
You should have drained whatever oil was in it first and then filled it back up with to the recommended level
Why didn't you drain what was left in the car and then put in fresh oil of the specific amount required to fill it?
My son bought a repossessed house from a bank auction. It was cheap but it was a nice house. It wasn't until he took possession that he found that the ex-owner had poured sand in all the drains. WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THE DRAINS APART AND CLEAN OUT THE SAND AND HE SOLD THE HOUSE LATER FOR A $40,000 PROFIT. I would see if the exhaust is full of those rock chips.
cam timing is due to the oil being low and the car being started throws cam codes
we had a 67 MG 1100 and the universal joint broke and put a hole in the manual transmission. the mechanic told us JBWeld ! worked longer than the car!
I JB welded my steel transmission pan from the inside and outside .make sure you rough up the area.with sand paper.
If that is an alloy sump pan, you might be able to braze weld with a torch and alloy rods, I did it on the sump of an alloy motor cycle sump.
Why replace the oil pan, would it hurt the resell value to weld up the crack?
@linguini_No1 Yes. Porsche people are like that. Yeah, they are ....
@@boyracer3477 yes they are....🕵♂
I would take out old oil and would be able to figure out about engine condition.
My inner detailer is throwing arcane curses at that bottle of windex. xD
@GrandMoffJoseph Why? Don't disagree ... just don't know
13:47 Same thing 92-97 GM LT1 owners say about leaks.
Are you 💩’n me! 18k and it runs! 😂 you guys are SO lucky!
Make this a giveaway car please. I love the Silver with tan inside
Rocks are easy explanation, seems logical it was backed up or pushed ect and the tips came into contact with a pile of crusher run (those small rocks)
So something really similar happened when I rode my motorcycle up on the curb and it tore a hole in the oil pan, scratched the fork and rotor caliper, insurance totaled it, gave us 3k and we bought it back for $600, fixed it with jb weld, never failed. Sold it for $3500
create a porsche repair shop
accept the $28k motor repair
fix for $20
charge insurance $28k
Why didnt you drain it first just by the drainplug so you know there is no oil in it anymore and you dont overfill it
What is your code reader clearer apparatus? Love your videos! It would be nice that you would do business videos!
You should have pulled the drain plug drain all the remaining oil then just added how ever many quarts it takes to have a controlled level..
@hugoorozco297 You should have read the comments before you commented. You are number 19 to discuss this on my feed.
You guys should get small lift for hangar
U gotta reach 2million subscribers to get a lift
My wife drove over a bottle jack in the middle of the road, similar damage to what you are seeing but we ended up with a crack like yours but in the auto trans oil pan I drained the oil jacked it up JB welded the crack, refilled with oil and drove it for another three years with no issues. Just wondering why you don’t just drain the pan measure the oil volume then you would know how much was left.
That would be too logical🙃
I enjoy these super deal auction finds.
It does drive me crazy that you guys always start these things without knowing oil levels or if it is hydro locked. Just drain the oil. Find out how much was in it. Then put enough in to start it and save an engine.
Flood damaged cars should have the plugs removed and spun over to pump water out. And drain the oil to see if it is oil & water.
@user-od9iz9cv1w Flood damaged cars should be avoided like the Black Plague. You never know what is screwed up in the computers and electrical system and it's almost impossible to diagnose. Didn't Tavarish have a flood damaged Lambo or something that had mysterious gremlins because of flood damage?
they lifted the car with a forklift at the salvage auction... and that dented the bottom.
Draining the sump seems a much better idea than futile prayer.
I've seen rocks and dirt in exhaust of a BMW 528 at auction. Car was sharp too. Mind boggling. I believe it's done either deliberately or car could had been submerged under water. Hard to say.
Could be squirrels
@@danrook5757 I've seen squirrels do that to a long stored Lambo or maybe it was a E-type. Can't remember which. But anyway, the tailpipes were full of acorns.
Jb welded my boat motor block 8 yrs ago and still takes me out every summer! lol
The main problem about overfilling seems to be that it can foul the cats. In other words, just emissions. I'd rather be a quart over than 2 or 3 quarts under.
It almost looks like there was a little explosion in the passenger side seat and it bounced. I would have to say that the rocks and the exhaust came from whatever tow company dropped it off the flatbed. What do you want to bet they dropped it right on the tail as quickly as they could when they were dumping the car at the insurance auction.
The lifting location for Porsche are the sills in front onto the back shell and behind the front shell, it’s an oval shaped hole. Put hockey pucks between the Jack ; stands and the car
Fingers crossed they don’t find anything major. Beautiful interior on that thing! 🤞
Start and run nicely~~~ It's a Porsche~~.I've been driving Porsches for 50+ years..
Why didn't you drain the oil to find out how much was in it, then refill with fresh oil?
JRGarage great channel. Quick question - I have a 2001 Boxster Cabriolet that I can't get to pass inspection for new sticker, two unready Emissions Test Results for Monitors 1). Catalyst and 2). 2nd Sys., any suggestions to remedy without the cost of $6k to replace both Catalytic Converters? Any suggestions very much appreciated. -Texas Fan-
You’re saying the monitors haven’t checked in yet? After you replace the battery or clear check engine lights that will always happen, they reset. It usually takes around 100 miles to have them all check back in. If you don’t have any check engine light once everything is checked in, you will pass emissions.
It would make sense to open the drain plug first and see if anything comes out. If not then fill it, minus what should be in the filter and start it.
Wouldn’t continued to run previously for any length of time - or no oil pressure switch on these things?
Remove any oil in the engine per procedure, measure volume. Refill as appropriate.
The gravel in the exhaust pipe was probably caused by someone backing up into a hillside too hard .
Hi jr garage! New day new car! So cool! Love the vids! Happy holidays guys!
Don’t worry about the rocks in the exhaust that’s where the previous owner accidentally backed into a gravel pile during photography. (I did exactly the same with my E30)
Rocks in the tailpipes won’t affect the engine running! Now rocks in the inlet manifold, (boy, then you are in trouble!)
You really need to get a vehicle lift!!
Hahaha, JB weld the pan and DRIVE HAPPY.
The rocks in it exhaust is from the loader picking it up at Copart or tow truck dropping off at location.. so I'm putting my bet down on the dragging and it'll load up the rocks and the exhaust due to the angle
My favorite car that I’ve ever owned. Wish I didn’t sell it. Can’t wait to see what you find.
Just backed up against a gravel berm. No big deal. Check the carpet inside for GSR
I haven't read all comments, but my guess on the gravel in the exhaust was caused by backing it off of a flat bed tow and they scraped-up a pound or so.
I fixed a hole in a gas tank with two part epoxy that comes in those syringes. That lasted for about a couple years till the gas ate through it
Why wouldn’t you just drain the oil and refill it instead of guessing??? *lol I was 2 seconds early
You act like pulling the oil drain plug to find out how much oil Is in it is a major engineering feat.
Have you a way to test for gun shot residue GSR inside the car ⁉️
It'll run well! Are the rocks out of the exhaust??????
Why not just dump the oil that may or may not be in the pan and then fill the proper amount
Yup realized that too late
WOW. You guys got lucky. Awesome video.
How do you decide on which cars to buy from auction?
Body condition and Price.
The rocks maybe from when the car is taken off the tow truck. The angle scoops up rocks when rolling back
Was screaming at the TV: "IT'S A DRY SUMP! IT WILL BE FINE IF THERE'S STILL OIL IN IT!"
The “JB weld” will not work from the outside. You would have to take the pan off and apply it.
Trouble code camshaft position. Could be engine valve timing. Timing belt? Maybe the dealer gave her an unexpected high price to repair this . Looks like that engine would have to be removed to fix the timing belt issue. My guess is at 500 dollars per hour labor for the dealer owner and 6 dollars per hour for the mechanic it would be very expensive to fix.
Looks like the previous owner got "lucky" she hit something in the road that caused the physical damage. She was looking at a second mortgage to fix that trouble code. Wow, what a stroke of luck. Lol, 😊😊😊 👌👌👌
No dipstick, or are there two. hahaha
Nice to see someone with good luck on cars, I’m not that guy!
At 1.2 million subscribers.....no lift.... CZcamsrs got to be the most confusing people on earth....👌👌🇰🇪🇰🇪
The title lead me to believe they fixed for $20 bucks.
The way was written. 😂
They make these things called moving boxes I buy extra large ones at Home Depot for a couple of dollars I cut them open they make great thing to drive your car over when it's leaking oil or do an oil changes so you don't get oil on the floor I have used them for many years
Are you guys looking to sell this one? I am looking to purchase a Porsche and this looks amazing!!
Killer find!!
Looks like someone threw a shovel of concrete up the exhsust pipe😂
Did you take the rocks out of the exhaust?
