Such and incredible donation to Genius Garage. I'm proud of the work the students have done on it and even though it is costing more money, I think it will be an incredible car when it is finished! What do you like best about the project?
No Porsche snobbery involved
Honestly, the thing I like best is seeing these students learn the right way - through experience. Make mistakes, and learn under the guidance of a mentor.
Edit - I just saw someone beat me to this same thought, in a separate comment, by about 20 minutes.
Love it!
LS swap someday?
Do I get points for remembering the JPS F1 cars? I had an AFX JPS Andretti F1 slot car.
Love seeing the students making mistakes....and learning from them. :)
Thanks for showing us this mistake. I've fixed many things with helicoil, but I never realized you can't helicoil a bleeder valve. The reason why not makes sense, but I would not have known until watching this.
I wish you had a "Short Bus Garage" I could send my sons to, so they could learn the basics like, how to change a flat tire, how to change your oil, how to wash and detail your car, get where I'm coming from?
You’re not alone
That's your job man, you're supposed to teach them basic skills to have a decent send off in life. Give the little shits a project car!
This isn’t a bad idea….
Why not teach them yourself? Are they already out of the house? My son was not interested but he at least watched, my daughter wants to learn.
Really happy that you did this video.
I absolutely love my 944S and the 16v really is a joy to Rev out!
Yeah you know what... I had to re tap the two transaxle mounts holes... best 3 days of my life
Can't wait for the day I finish my 944 LS resto mod, keep working Genius Garage! and keep your head up Casey!
Great car. I own a 89 Porsche 944 S2 and love it. Such a pleasure to drive.
I asked for more 944 content like three hours ago! I feel like this was just for me
Boy i sure wanna buy my project car soon, so i try and learn to fix it by myself like those students, since my actual 28 years old VW is too nice to mess with it. Keep the great work Casey!!!
Having a teacher that knows as much as you do would be amazing. I'm glad Genius Garage has such a knowledgeable teacher.
Breaking a bleeder screw is something I experienced once. It was the first time I changed the brake fluid on that car and the bleeder had been there for a while, probably was overtightened before. As soon as I turn the wrench, the head snapped. That was stressful, but fortunately my father found a solution and that was removing the caliper and welding a nut to what was left of the bleeder. The heat from the welding must have helped to free the threads and the finally was able to remove the bleeder without causing damage to the threads.
The shirt's quite fitting with the video and the state of things on the 944 S! Great project car for the Students.
After I had a Helicoil come out of the oil drain pain of my 1991 MR2 Turbo, I used a Timesert instead. They work much better than Helicoils, they will NEVER come out. I also used one with great success on the (super thin) aluminum head on my 2003 V8 Explorer when a plug blew out (common problem - head is too thin, only a couple threads holding it in).
I like the explanation I heard from the machinist on Faye Hadley's channel: try the helicoil first; if it fails you can still do timesert. If you mess up a timesert, you're done.
Young engineers Learning and making mistakes luckily they have a great mentor to explain to then why what they are doing is the incorrect method and they learn for these mistakes and showing us here so we learn as well. Thanks Casey that's what we like Warts and all.
Great job..my dad and uncle were Porsche mechanics. They were always a bit sour when talking about 944s...never liked working on them. Especially clutch jobs lol 😆
New fuel lines prevent fires. First thing I did to my 924S. Absolutely essential.
Casey, at least the young people working there with you are at least working. I am so proud to see you getting these young men to do actual work on real
cars. My son helps me work on cars, and on our airplane and learns how to actually repair things.
Mayew tools makes a good bolt extractor, square taper. Might need to add some heat with a torch, but you will be replacing the seals in the caliper anyways.😊
You're looking at this wrong.... you're not going bald, you're decreasing your drag coefficient! =D
The Cup rims are awesome
The sound of a 944 door shutting is satisfying
This reminds me of my 944 experience
Regarding powder coating, I've heard that's not a great idea, as the heat can affect the metallurgy. I don't know if that's actually true, but when I asked Fuchs about it, they told me powder coating will void their warranty.
My Porsche is been sitting for 3 months. no start issues. My question is matching the sensor connectors. which sensor goes to the top connector (speed sensor)?
im glad im not the only one on the struggle bus
Actually the s lifters are like 1/3 of the price of the 8v ones, they’re like $350 a pop on the 8v
Just use a small torch to heat up the bleeder screw
Use timeserts Casey!!! They are 1000% better than helicoils and have saved me many times on my e46.
"Well...do it quickly" lololololol
Such nice cars! When is its Italian transaxle sister coming to the garage? #116alfaromeoalfettagiuliettamilano!
Was this car sold?
I definitely feel your pain Casey. Lol
Is Blaine wearing a Lewis Hamilton Hat? Love this project for genius garage 👍🏻
I traded a yamaha quad for a jet black 1990 Lincoln lsc, factory bbs rims, 4 wheel disc brakes, factory 5.0 v8 mustang roller engine tons of torque, hwy pulled a turbo Mitsubishi eclipse, porsche Carrara, Dodge charger, Lincoln Ftw....lol
Many years as a shop teacher...still not bald but definitely stressed out...
Pro Tip: Clip your lav to the bill of your cap. It will pick up you AND whatever you look at.
I don't know who comes up with idea of usin helicoil on brake bleader... but at least they know it ain't gonna work :D
Casey in this video:
Oh, God. What did you kids do now!? WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN!?!?
You should make them build a brand new car. Body design,. Everything.!
Purists will flame me but owning a 944s myself I can definitely be one to say it.... Texas performance concepts for an ls1 swap is the way to go and forget this 16V nightmare.
Mmmmm 944 mmmmmm black mmmmmmmmm KW suspension mmmmmm good deeds done well.
Casey, since you got banned from Facebook market place, how about you make it so you can sell stuff on genius garage's website?
Some of the internet loves sarcasm. It's just the people who shouldn't even think about being on the internet who hate sarcasm.
Fix the engine crane, first
Casey, don't trip about balding. A wise judge once said, "God only made so many perfect heads. The rest, he gave hair."
@@staLkerhu It applies equally regardless of gender.
@@staLkerhu That's your opinion, and it's a bit sexist. Have fun with that, snowflake. I happen to think that my dear friend who has chemotherapy-induced alopecia looks fantastic. She rocks being bald, and it's clear that you're just jealous.
Casey is so passive aggressive
re:balding. it was told to me that men who are balding have more testosterone,, This may or may not be true, considering it was a woman who told me.
Well why can't I go bald in other places? I loose hair on my head but it starts growing everywhere else.

Excellent channel and video, always one of these negative Nancy's commenting bullshit
