That’s interesting, I figured it had something to do with the turbos. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Han, I appreciate that. Your right, I definitely had to stay determined on this one! That’s also a good thing to keep in mind in general. You’re welcome, thanks for the comment!

Thanks GarageBiljon, I really appreciate that! Yeah, it’s kind of crazy how stuck on there it was, it’s nice you haven’t had to deal with that. I enjoy watching your videos as well, thanks for the comment!

What a pain, huh? Yeah, that thin plastic sheet worked out really well for that/came in really handy - I was glad I grabbed those. Thanks Frank!

Yes, you can screw it further onto the rod to take out some of the slack. You should be able to screw it down a 1/8 or 1/4 of a inch and take some of the play out of there, but at some point it hits the inside of the plastic and that's as far as it will go. Hope that helps.

Had to use a nail puller to get off the pin and screw it down to take out slack and it worked thanks

@@douglasnichols6116 cool, glad it worked, no problem.

…and do you recommend installing the outer flat black aluminum trim after window glass install or does it not matter?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I Hope your assembly goes well. After the window moldings, then you want to install the door handle with the linkage and the outside latch before the window glass. Bolt on the latch with the bolts but leave it loose for adjustment later, just make sure the linkage is connected to the handle, then install the channel that the glass runs in, the rubber felts inside the doors, then the glass, tape it up to hold it in place, then the regulator and slides, then adjust your window so it works right, then adjust the latch to make the door close right, then put the panel on last. I'm pretty sure that's the right sequence, it's been a while since I worked on it, but I'm pretty sure you need to install the door handle linkage first because it's impossible to get at after putting in the glass.

Technically I don't think it matters with the flat black trim piece. I'm going to be replacing the top window rubber molding on my car later because I realized I could do it later with the window in the door, but since you've got it apart, I don't think there's any reason to not do it first, I believe either way works.

That's interesting, seems like it's pretty common on these cars. I was worried because mine were in a perfect pattern that made it look as if a previous owner jacked the car up by the pan or maybe ran over a big bump or something. Crisis averted. Thanks for the comment.

@@JVR_Funwithdesign Huh, that’s interesting, the 968 too. I guess since it doesn’t hurt anything Porsche just went with it. Sure throws you off when you look at them. Thanks for the comment.

Hey whatever works, right! That’s cool you were able to get it clean and the JB weld lasted that long. Thanks for the comment.

Well I haven't been driving it lately cause I'm fixing the oil pan leaks, but it worked fine/never leaked for at least couple of months before I parked it to work on it. It actually worked so well I might just wait to get new hoses even though right now would be the time to replace them since I've got it apart again. I haven't decided yet. But yeah, it's pretty easy to just redo the clamps on the reservoir so you might as well give it a try.

@@rybreadification will do. Thanks!

You’re welcome, no problem.

:)Yeah I guess that’s one way to do it. It’s the old gaskets that are the biggest pain. Still, I don’t know why they couldn’t have just mounted the IAC on the side or top of the intake.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Not sure yet, I’ve still got the motor apart. Since I had everything apart I decided to fix a oil leak I had coming from between the oil pump and the front of the block at the same time. Of course that meant dropping the oil pan which meant dropping the front suspension so it turned into kind of big project. Now I’m replacing all the seals and resealing the lower balance shaft too. Also was busy with family reunions and other stuff but hopefully have it back together soon. I’ll let you know though after I get it back together.

@@rybreadification Thanks a bunch man. Hey it sounds like the cars coming together nicely. Can’t wait to see the progress!

Yeah, you're welcome - no problem. Yeah it's getting there, hopefully after this the motor will be squared away and I can just drive it and work on the interior/exterior. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, I appreciate that! Actually my friend's name is Jeff, my name is Ryan. Somehow the other comment on this video got posted here but was actually meant for a different video I made. I still have the seats, they are in storage underneath my steps - they need recovering. When I got the car, the vinyl on the seats was super hard and full of cracks (they were miserable to sit on) so I grabbed a set of seats out of a Mazda at a local junk yard for 20 bucks, took the covers off and cleaned them, then put them back together and threw them in the 924S.

@@rybreadification Sorry Ryan that I had you're name wrong and thank you for your reaction. I like the way you hold you're Porsche on the road. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Yeah, no problem. You're welcome, thanks for the comment!

Thanks Dude, I appreciate that! I do enjoy the videos where I'm kidding around so it's nice to hear you appreciate the humor. I'll keep making them. Ya, you should get started too. Thanks for the comment.

@@djmjr77 Interesting. Hopefully they don’t go any higher.

Also doesn't say 4 like you got.. so who knows if that was a mistake.. did you end up getting another set of 4 for the same price?

Ya it was definitely a mistake that they sent me four. I had my hopes up and ordered one more exactly the same way hoping a box of four would show up, but instead I got a padded envelope with just one lifter in a plastic bag. So then I had to order three more to make eight. I guess the first time I ordered one they must have just pulled the box of four off the shelf and thought that was right. Then they must have figured out their mistake by the time I ordered the second one. It seems like they only package them in boxes of four from the factory so when they sell them individually they have to open the box and put them in their own packaging. At least I got three of them for free. Wish I ordered two the first time. Edit - sorry I should have started that with no I ended up having to pay for four more individually. Anyway its kind of interesting because I noticed one of the 944 websites (can’t remember if it’s lindsey or maybe 944online) is selling them for like 90 or 100 bucks a piece and in the picture it looks like they take them out of the box of four and then stick them in their own little generic box. In a way it’s kinda messed up being that they’re lifters and you don’t want them to loose oil or get dirty, but I guess it’s better than 350 bucks a piece.

Hehe.. still better than 3-400 each as long as they work! Look forward to any updates on them! Thanks!

Ya, definitely better, no problem!

That’s cool, glad to hear they’re still working good. Yeah, I wish these one’s were only 7 bucks a piece that’s a really good price! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks dude, I appreciate that! Glad you subscribed and thanks 4 the comment.

Yeah, actually that would be really cool. I have to look into making the trip and see if I can make it work. Thanks 4 the comment/invite!

@@rybreadification it’s a great two days getting to meet and talk to so many knowledgeable people about these cars

Yeah it looks like a good time, and being able to chat with other owners would be really cool. Nice that it’s not too far away from where I live relatively speaking, but still a bit of a drive so still working on seeing if I can make it out there this year.

That's interesting. Were they originally made in Germany? I've seen a couple of listings for lifters that look a lot like these ones but they want like 400 bucks a piece. I assumed they were a different brand (I figured they were probably made in Germany) but maybe they are actually these ones just marked way up. I know some of the other ones I've found that are listed as original equipment Porsche lifters are also like 350 to 400 dollars a piece but are made by INA. Thanks for the info.

@@turbod1 cool, that’s good to hear! Thanks 4 the comment.

@@GameChanger-te8sw I’m not sure, there must be a bug or something. You might need to change the playback speed to normal in the TH-cam player if it’s screwed up for some reason.

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying the vids! Yep, it’s just a fuel filter. They changed the design in the later cars (924S/944) and for whatever reason didn’t need them anymore. I guess the check valve on the fuel pump and the return dampener that’s on the fuel rail is enough to not need one? Not sure to be honest but I do know my car isn’t supposed to have one. Thanks for the comment!

@@rybreadification ah thanks for the clarification :-) i'll probably be badgering you for info as i work my way through your other vids....just about to refurb my rusty old fuel tank and enjoying your one on that 👍👍

@@TinoKolarides Cool, I hope it goes well with your 79. Yeah let me know if you have any questions/whatever.

That's cool, I hope it works out well. A couple things I ended up doing later but didn't get to covering - I replaced the driver side solenoid with a "heavy duty" version I ordered separately later because the wiring In the one that came in the kit came loose/wasn't done right from the factory and the solenoid started acting up after a while, and then also just to be safe, I later ordered a whole extra kit when I saw the same kit marked down to like 20 bucks on Amazon because I figured if the electric box ever went bad, I could just unplug it and then easily swap in a new one. Hopefully I'll never need it, it works great and I've actually never had a problem with it besides the thing with the driver side solenoid, but since you're doing the same thing, I thought I'd tell you about the solenoid in case it saves you some trouble. You might just want to use a better one to start if you're using one of the cheap kits like I did. I just ordered a generic 5 wire heavy duty version of the same style and it works perfectly.....Hopefully you can get your hatch working, I messed with mine a while back - I tried positive trigger, negative trigger, nothing seemed to work. From what I can tell, I'm not getting a pulse out of the system - not sure what the deal is with that yet. Let me now if you get your hatch working! Thanks 4 the comment!

@@goodvives1038 that’s good to hear, you’re welcome, thanks 4 the comment!

Well, it's been a while, but yeah, you just pull on it. I don't remember, you may have to pinch it - there might be like plastic tabs that you have to squeeze, but I don't think so, I think you just have to pull on it, if I remember right. I remember thinking the same thing, and then I think I figured out you just have to pull on it. Maybe try sort of shaking or rocking it a little as you pull. And if you need to, use a pliers, but be careful not to crush or crack the plastic plug. Edit - pull on the plastic plug, not the wires. Just in case I thought I'd throw that in there.

Yup that's a good point. Thanks for the comment!

@@chabat124 Nice, thanks!

Your welcome, thanks for the comment!

I am, he’s in good hands! Definitely a special little bird and very loving like you say. I definitely love the little guy. (Well I think it’s a guy now) and he’s growing up fast. That’s cool you have some. Thanks for the comment!

You're welcome, glad it helps! Still got mine taken apart - need to find a puller. Gonna try replacing some of the seals behind the pulleys. Nice to hear you're restoring one of these cars, I hope your project goes well on the 86. Thanks 4 the comment (and the pet comment too)!

Thanks Schrockahasibros1490, I really appreciate that! That makes sense to use the dial indicator to hit TDC perfectly. I've been meaning get one for a while now, that's a good point to use it for that. It's also good to know you used a clicker for the tension. I was thinking I'd just use the twist method and then see how it sounds, but maybe I'll get one of those too. I watch the Edredas videos too - lot's of good info. Thanks again!

Well I’ve definitely got a lot of video of it. I’ll put more in the next video or maybe do a separate one altogether.

Ya, he's pretty cute - thanks Frank. Well to be honest, I'm not actually sure if he's a he or a she...decided not to traumatize him(or her) by trying to figure it out, so I guess we'll see. And ya, that's funny cause I did have the thought I should hit this with paint since I'm doing this, but then just left it instead. Oh well, at least it's clean:). You're welcome, thanks Frank!

:) Ya, that would be cool. I took him in my other car to Dairy Queen the other day and he did really well.

You're welcome, I'm glad you like the video! I hope yours goes well. For the time being, I skipped it. I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason my car didn't have that foam piece around the filler neck. I'm not sure if someone removed it before I bought the car, or if it never came with one. If it was originally there, I think they must have pulled it out from the top because It didn't seem like the tank had ever been removed. I might just leave it out, but what I was planning to do, (thought I'd already have done it, but honestly haven't gotten there yet) is when I bolt that sheetmetal cover down for good, (I've got it bolted down now but not with the new roll of butyl I bought back when I did this video) is take a can of expanding spray foam, and spray it down around the top of the filler neck and basically make my own foam piece with that, then bolt that cover down with the new butyl. It won't be soft like the foam that's in that picture, but I think it should do the job. My guess is they put it there for road noise? The only thing is it will stick to everything if I ever need to remove it, so I'll have to scrape it out of there if I ever need to access those clamps. I was thinking about maybe covering the top of the tank/hoses with masking tape or something else first (Saran Wrap?) then spraying in the foam on top of that so it won't stick to things, just fill up the space, but I'm not sure yet. Something that won't absorb water or stay wet would be ideal. The can of foam I got for that has been sitting there on my shelf for a couple years now too.

Thanks. I hadn’t thought of doing that. Interesting idea. I might look into that. One more q: as you’re fitting hoses on to the tank or the hard line connections, did you put any glue on the connections or are you only relying on hose clamps? It looks like you’re not but wanted to be sure. I just dropped my tank and disassembled it this weekend and trying to make sure I understand everything I need to do before attempting reassembly as I wait for a parts shipment. Really appreciate what you’ve done here. Very grateful for this video and your insights.

No,problem, glad to be of help. Nope, I just put the hoses on and tightened them with the clamps. The rubber seal thing that goes between the main large filler hose and the inlet on the top of the tank was cracked a little bit so I used super glue on the edges where it was cracked and just held it together and glued it back together, then put that back between the big hose and the tank inlet, but besides that, no, I didn’t put anything between the hoses and the tank, just tightened them down with the clamps. I guess it worked out well because I haven’t had a leak or smelt any gas since.

Thanks Jeremy! Ya, the gear box was a bit of an undertaking. Thanks 4 the comment!

That sounds like a good way of doing it, I’ll have to try that next time I have to scape on the aluminium. Thanks 4 the comment!

Thanks Frank, I appreciate that. Ya, it's funny, I stood there for a couple hours just looking at those vacuum lines (and taking pictures) and still felt a little weary about it, but it's like you say, if you take it one step at a time, eventually it starts to make more sense, and then before you know it, it's all back together.

@@rybreadification such is life.

Yes, it is, isn't it.

Thanks Seagrams! That’s interesting yours leaking there. Ya, it’s kind of a weird setup how they designed that. I wonder what size o ring they’d send you if you ordered one from straight Porsche. Thanks 4 the comment!

Thanks Peter! You know, I think it would be a good thing for me to get. It would be pretty cool to just be able to print some stuff. I've been meaning to teach myself or get some guidance with auto cad (kicking myself for not taking it in high school) and even downloaded a free copy a couple of months ago, but the trial period is over on that now. Do you have any recommendations for auto cad programs? Is it pretty easy to download the designs and print them without knowing what I'm doing, or do you think I should teach myself that first? Thanks for leaving this comment, as you might be able to tell I've got a ton of questions about this.

@@rybreadification honestly most things have models and are readily available just slice and print and I use a free online CAD called TinkerCAD it’s not the greatest but you can get the basics in a more learning friendly environment. I’m probably gonna go to Fusion360 eventually but for now it’s more than sufficient. If you are serious I would definitely go for a Bambulabs or pursa as they have the most online support and resources

Cool. Thanks for info. It's something I've alway been interested in, but just never got any further with because of the cost of the printers back when I looked at them years ago, and not knowing where to start with a CAD program. Looks like there are some decent printers on craigslist for 100-200 bucks like you said, so I'll probably start with one of those. The TinkerCAD looks like a good program also, so I'll probably start there. I see Fusion360 is free for at home use, so that's cool too. Aside from printing stuff for the Porsche, I think it will be a cool project/thing to work on with my nephew, so I'm going to start looking for a printer. There's quite a few projects I have in mind that it would be nice just to know a CAD program for also. Thanks for the info and recommendations, It's nice to get some advice and a have a place to start!

@@rybreadification if I can give you some advice. Get good filament, I always use Esun PLA+ for basic not weight bearing parts. Don’t get sucked into additive filaments they don’t really help and are a complete pain. Petg is fussy to get started but is a great material if you want to get more serious. Good luck and happy printing

@peterjackson1426 thanks for the info. I was was wondering about the filaments with stuff added, and also what to use in general so that’s good to know. Thanks again!

Thanks GarageBiljon, glad to hear that!

I think it should be good now with the new hoses, but I guess we’ll see. That’s interesting you found the bad fuel regulator on your car. I actually had to fix that same problem right after I got mine. My car ran well right when I bought it, but started to run rough shortly there after. It sat for a long time before I bought it. Turns out that was the problem. I think it was the return dampener (regulator) that went bad first if I remember right. It was just like you said - it smelt like gas when I pulled off the vacuum line, and I think mine was even wet with fuel. I assumed the seal inside there went bad, so I replaced them both and it ran well until this thing with hose. Everything else looks good, but like you said, it’s old so I wouldn’t be surprised if something else pops up. Thanks for the comment/info schrockahasibros1490. All good things to look for/consider.

THIS. I have a 924NA and this is the problem. I took off the hose (has a huge crack) and I am replacing it tomorrow. Very excited and hopefully this will fix my problem!

I noticed the hose that cracked on mine is the one hose that is completely made of rubber, (it appears to be injection molded) while all the other hoses that appear to still be good, are all made like radiator hoses with webbing imbedded in them. Hope your fix turns out well!

@@rybreadification It turned out great! I swapped the old out with the new today and my car is running great. I have a ground issue still and a vacuum leak from my oil cap causing misfires, but other than that the 924 is rearing to go!

Nice, glad to hear that worked out! I’ve read about the ground issues on these cars - I should probably go through mine soon. Seems like there’s a number of little things like that that kind of consistently need to be addressed once these cars get to a certain age. I hope you’re project keeps going well!

No Problem. Glad you might find a use for it. Yeah that's the nice thing about the mold putty is you can shape it/protect something but it doesn't stick/get into everything like the regular silicone in a tube. Thanks again 4 the comment!

Thanks Frank that’s good to hear! Still editing it but I’ll post it as soon as It’s done.

Yeah, it's definitely a little hard to get to. Also kind of interesting the clamp (at least on my car) needed a screwdriver and doesn't have a hex head on it. Thanks 4 the comment!

The secret weapon for that I found is this socket flex extension tool that looks like a spring. Use a screwdriver that has a square socket end and swap to a worm clamp that has a hex.

That sounds like a good tool to have, I'll have to get one of those. I ended up replacing that clamp with one of the hex headed clamps that came in the hose kit when I put it back together too, so I could see it coming in really handy for that in the future. Thanks 4 the comment!

:) Yup, now I just have to install them. Thanks 4 the comment, hope you're doing well Karin!

I’m doing well, thanks Ryan. I also have a table full of new parts ready to get going on some work (replace alternator bushings, rear CV boots, front bump stops, window felts, bleed brakes). The car came out last week but we got another snow dump today so will delay until it warms up a bit on the weekend. Maybe I’ll try to record some of it! 😊 Looking forward to the next episode!

Nice. I shot video a couple of years ago when I pulled apart my cv joints and greased them but ended up moving on to other stuff and never made a episode out of it. Let me know if you have questions when you get there if I haven’t posted it by then. Yeah, I’ve got all kinds of parts now too. Here’s to a summer of us working on our Porsche’s!

@@rybreadification Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

No Problem!

Sorry I skipped the 1st part of the video showing the install process, great video thanks!!

No, problem. I hope that explains it well enough. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! Nice, glad to hear it was helpful. You’re welcome, I hope it goes well!

I have watched it a few times. Just curious, would you have done anything different? Did this work out over the long term? Thanks again for doing this.

Yeah, there’s a few things. 1. When I took the tank out, I didn’t pull out the gas filler neck, (which your supposed to do) so I’d take that out first. I ended up having to do that when I put the tank back in, in order to get the hose back on the top of the tank, so I would have just pulled that out to start with. 2. I would have gotten a bigger can of sealer. I got everything coated and it turned out well, but I had to use every last drop, so to make it easier I would have just gotten the next size up of that can of sealer which I think would have been a quart or something close to it. 3. I used 3/16th for the smallest vent hose, but after doing it, I think 1/4 inch would have probably worked fine/maybe fit better cause the 3/16 was kind of tight. I should have just gotten a foot of both and tried them both out first to see, but I just got the 3/16 when I went to the store so that’s what I used. I had to heat it up to get it onto the brass nipple that’s on the end of the black plastic hard line and onto that white plastic T I used too, so the quater inch rubber hose might have still been small enough and worked better. If I was doing again though , I’d do another search first too just to see if I could find that hose with the flared end, see if someone sells it now. If I could find it I’d just buy that. Aside from that though, it’s worked really well. I haven’t had a single problem with it. It’s never leaked or smelled like gas or anything. The sealer seems like it’s stuck well to the inside of the tank, and everything works like it should. Your welcome- no problem, glad I can help.

Thanks. I’m going to take all that advice. I haven’t actually pulled my tank out yet. It’s leaking from a point that the previous owner had already repaired. So I bought a new one that’s in decent shape. I’ve started degreasing and stripping it. When I take the current tank out you can bet I’m going to follow your lead on all those points. Thanks again.

No problem, hope it goes well when you get there!

Thanks, I really appreciate that! Yeah, It was nice to be able to get the parts from them, and I really like how they have the drawings/diagrams on their website. Thanks for the comment - I’ll keep it rolling!
