Blimey those Germans do not make it easy to put pistons in. That Snapon torque wrench is brilliant i do not know how i managed with the old click one. I totally agree with Brads poster in his hallway, you only get what you work for.
Awesome video. This is the first time I’ve seen that engine torn down and rebuilt and it’s more crazy than I thought it would be. Excellent job and hope to hear it run.
Spot on job James ,it was looking well tricky 😮Fitting them pin clips-if I was doing it that would be six most stressful moments in my life 😂 Great to watch it all ,cool car as well 👌
Great video James, awesome effort having not done one before, lots to overcome there, as usual your explanation is top notch, love the workmanship, be good to see it on track and how it runs, hope alls well with ye all 👍👍👍🏁🏁🏁🏁
Hi I have been watching several of your videos lately. If my life depended on the the quality of an engine rebuild, that engine would be entrusted to you. Truly excellent work. Really enjoy watching how you go about things.👍
great video as always James, that whole pin/liner fiasco looks like a nightmare! question, are the seat angles regulated in this head? interesting to know what angles they use ? thanks again for the upload !
Wonder if the 100h overhaul interval is a bit on the safe side? I guess it depends if it has seen 100 hrs of qualifying laps or 100 hrs of gentleman driver practicing ;)
The engine did well, it managed to win the British endurance outright and class. Then got sold and did another season, I believe the engine is currently being rebuilt after 2 hard years.
I take the initial head torque the way you do, inside out and recheck middle bolts. But to pull down the degree torque I work from one side of head to the other. I feel it pulls it down in a more square sequence.
@@graceenginedevelopments Only analogy I can come up with it's like rolling a sticker on, where your working one side to the other to squeeze the air out. Lol I've been doing it for years, always worked for me. Great vid as usual pal.
Interesting that there doesn’t seem to be direct injection on the Cup engine. Is this engine more closely related to mezger than engine found in 991.1 GT3 road car?
That 911 race car is goals. Wow 🤩 the thing is a work of art.
It's definitely a lovely car

Good engine to be fair just fiddly. Hope you're well
Getting into the serious engines with this one, great video.
Thanks Philip

Thanks Robert, theres a few of it racing on TH-cam now, I will try and get some footage for a future video
Cracking 911 GT3 engine motor rebuild.
Thank you
Great video, I like the explanation and detail around all the challenges and machining.
Thank you
Nice video james
Thanks mate
Brilliant Job
Thanks Mike
Nice job james. Watch out for the incoming Porsche engines 👌👍
Got a bit of a waiting list at the moment mate.. thanks
Spot on job James ,it was looking well tricky 😮Fitting them pin clips-if I was doing it that would be six most stressful moments in my life 😂
Great to watch it all ,cool car as well 👌
Thank you mate.. yeah tricky bugger
Great job mate 👍 love a engine build. Glad you sourced the right tools for the job too.
Thanks mate.. I'll try and remember to post up my tool thingy this week.. hope you're well
@@graceenginedevelopments no problem mate. I think I have the same problem as you with my GoPro, always corrupting my files when trying to do a video!
It's so annoying when the data is lost.. hope you're ok mate
Great video James, awesome effort having not done one before, lots to overcome there, as usual your explanation is top notch, love the workmanship, be good to see it on track and how it runs, hope alls well with ye all 👍👍👍🏁🏁🏁🏁
Thanks Paul, yes all good here just really busy getting some race engines out. Hope you're well
A seriously impressive piece of work and a joy to watch
Thanks David

Thanks for the nice words, thanks for viewing
Great job James, those are beefy rods!!
Thanks Geoff, yes they are.. titanium lovely bits of kit
great video as always James, that whole pin/liner fiasco looks like a nightmare! question, are the seat angles regulated in this head? interesting to know what angles they use ? thanks again for the upload !
Thanks Mark. They're not regulated, I can let you know tomorrow what I recut the inlets too
Is that a 991 Gt3 guys ? Also what engine code is that > Or is it a 997 GT3 ? Is it a 4.0 or a 3.8 ? Do you know the engine code ?
991.1 3.8 gt3
Great video James, really interesting. I have a very basic knowledge of engines but am learning all the time 👍
Thanks Michaela, engines are awesome stick with it
Layman's question James but could the piston/rods be dropped in the barrels and then drop the built assembly on the crankcase?
Ignore that. Crankcase in two halves so no access to attach big end to crank.
Hi mate.. just as I was going to answer

My favorit car❤❤❤❤, i just need to sell 100000 mega baps .
I'm helping you get to the 100000 mega baps, i must be halfway there now

Hi Richard. Thanks for watching.. I've always done it that way, never tried your way, I'll do some research.

Yep I get your thinking.. thank you.. new one out today or tomorrow
Interesting that there doesn’t seem to be direct injection on the Cup engine. Is this engine more closely related to mezger than engine found in 991.1 GT3 road car?
Hi Nathan, I don't know it's the first one we did. I'll ask the owner though I expect he knows.
The first 991 Cup cars still had the 3.8 Mezger engine from the 997 due to the issues with the DFI engines in 2013/14.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Porsche is a 2 sylible word....
Diane, I’ve been saying it my way for 40 years. I’m not going to change.
Can you not just enjoy the video?
Hey Diane. It’s syllable.
