ENGINE IS IN! More Progress On The 996 Carrera! There's Too Many "While You're In There" Things!

- I've finally found some time to get the 996 back together. If you haven't seen the other videos on this car, I have a playlist dedicated to it here: • The 996 That Wasn't so...
This was a 996 I bought a while ago that wasn't supposed to be a big multi-month project, but turned into one. I feel like I'm over the hump. We are FINALLY reassembling the car. I don't like to rush anything on projects like this which is partly why these updates feel so spread out. However, Now that I have everything I need to go back together you may see the next update a bit sooner! I'm tired of pushing this car around!
In this video, I finish flushing the cooling system with my haphazardly conjured up rig, replace a few parts, and get the engine back into the car.
As always, I appreciate all the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you all on the next one!

You explaining your projects sounds like how you'd explain it to your wife😂love the vids man
Was waiting for him to blame it on the dog.
There's something insanely satisfying watching you take your time to do things the correct way
Absolutely!
Your OCD is on another level. I love it!
I have spent countless hours with your videos and find them incredibly entertaining and educational. My favorite You tube channel by far. Enjoy the 996, I love my 986 Boxster also in Pastel Yellow. Keep them coming!
You get scammed and you get scammed and everybody gets scammes
Built the car around the vacuum line! I had an 84 Mercury Grand Marquis with a 302 and had to change the water pump. I'm pretty sure the assembly line started with that water pump hanging on a chain and Ford built the rest of the car around it!
Nice.
I used to use cascade dishwasher soap powder, some old guy suggested it said it didn't bubble up like most soap and shouldn't cause issues later.
FWIW - When pulling out stuff that is routed over some things and under others like the brake booster pipe, I would attach some small diameter rope [or twine] to one end as I'm pulling out the other. An easy guide when rerouting.
It's also an easy way to get back to Grandma's house for some cookies and the mice can't eat the breadcrumbs.
Adam Sandler killing it.
Enjoying watching the progress on the 996. Your optimization phrases are the best. Reminds me of when I wrenched on my own vehicles!! Sometimes nice and gengtle. NOT so much other times. I won;'t stop watching the videos.
Teardowns with "Malice in the Combustion Palace" I look forward to the most. 😆
Kudos to you for keeping your cool seeing all that hack mastered sheet metal work on rear bumper assembly(maybe you lost it when you first saw it). I would have been expletive deleted all over the place after probably paying what you gave then discovering all this mess, especially the ballpeen action on rear channel.Some really unscrupulous people out there ,Great video series!
Enjoyed this! The coolant flushing exercise looked exactly how it would happen in my garage, haha.
“While your in there” that’s how my bone stock except a dry shot of nitrous fox body went to a blown, stroked, forged,road race suspension, TKO 600 transmission mustang. I just went to change the intake. While you’re in there is the most dangerous 5 words to a car guy just doing a quick project on a Saturday and my car went from that intake being off and didn’t run again until it was finished, well it still had the stock transmission in it but I HAD to drive it and the TKO was over a month away I went through five stock (only good for 400 crank I have 600 wheel) junkyard transmissions waiting for that TKO
Damn! 5 trannies? Savage lol
You are a very level headed guy and temperament is huge on a job like this.
Big job and one day you will enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Thanks for sharing your talent and enjoy that bad boy.
PS. On one hand, I envy you having a professional lift as you do in your garage and another side of me is grateful for not owning one because many of us watching would be too tempted to pull engines more often versus roll the dice and pay a professional and its all a crap shoot when you do deep into any engine. The level of satisfaction you glean must be enormous, however.
Instead of using Simple Green or Dawn, which can make bubbles, use any generic dish washing detergent instead, the powder kind you put in your dishwasher. It's a pretty good de-greaser, doesn't make bubbles and rinses away with no residue...
Great progress. Can't wait see it on the road. Happy Motoring!
As far as the booster hose, in manufacturing they refer to it as a layered build. A bit easier in the plant, but a real pain for repair.
crazy that brake booster line. i had something like that with my kia power steering line. original line was about 5 foot long and came in 2 pieces removing it required cutting, the replacement came as one solid line. well after removing the entire passenger side control arms, cv, spindle and struts it went in, easy peasy. love the videos, nice to see them going back together instead of always coming apart!
I like how you explain everthing throughly it is very professional and educational. Your channel is very enjoyable to watch. The boxster is coming together have enjoyed this series.
dude, it's a pleasure to watch you! I have not caught you in any really wrong work, shady a tiny bit, maybe. I am retired and your latest is my Saturday night must. A coule of weeks ago you were late, I lived...
Can’t wait to see it run! Btw your wife is a very patient woman lol
Great job! Can’t wait to hear it run and for you to blow the cobwebs out on a nice spirited drive.
Scammers gotta be scamming
Great job! I can't wait to see how the 911 ends up and also for your Saturday night video!
Thanks for the video!! I wasn’t expecting to get a notification that you posted. Boi did I drop everything and put you on the TV. 😀👍 THANKS!
The Porsche looks great, I have no doubt it will be a lot of fun to drive once you have it together, especially with the satisfaction of knowing you did all that work... BUT... I seriously LUST for that Lotus Esprit!!
I feel your pain, my ‘99 911 has been at multiple shops for the past year with an electrical issue. I think/hope/pray I finally have it at the right shop, as I miss the driving experience…
Great job...Thanks for sharing...
👍 Cool! Saving money, doing it yourself, and the bonus is you love doing it.
Bringing “I do cars” full circle. Nice job. Great car.
Love our engine teardowns and mechanical work.
You might spend a little time to understand what it takes to prevent rust returning, otherwise you're wasting your labor IMO. Consider etching primer and/or two part epoxy primer. Then you can throw on whatever (cheap) single stage topcoat you want.
I forgot you were working on this 996!!! So glad it’s coming together again! XD
There’s a trick to installing that brake booster vacuum line. It you cuss in German, it will slide right in there!😂🤣😂🤣
There's an old saying that some time in 1991, an engineer caught a mechanic sleeping with his wife, and everything he designed from that point on was revenge.
After seeing that vacuum hose, I wonder if she was worth it...
😂
Great to see the 996 going back together, rather than stalling on all “While your in there” issues!
Love the car upgrades!
Hell of a good job Eric. Wanna see you drive it!! Big Al
Thanks for the update. 👍
Really good work Eric! Can't wait to see the next episode on this beautiful Porsche 😎
I like your lift table, its bigger and taller than the one I have, I’m looking around for a better one, but as you know they’re not cheap. Anyway, I’ve found that it is easier to keep the table low enough that you are able to reach up above the engine from a four wheeled shop chair. Lower the car as much as you can and then pump up the table so that the engine (suspension or whatever) is lifted into the vehicle. This way of doing it gives you much more control, especially if your doing it by yourself. That’s just my two cents ✌🏾
Great video Eric, your too tuff on yourself, that rear paint touch up was just fine, out here in LA you would have to take out a 2nd loan on your house just to pay the Porsche dealer mechanics for the work you have done !!
Great job!
Very Halloween motif with the orange and the purple and the lime green the dim lighting and scary results. Spooky. 😅
Loved this vid Eric. Yes, do show us the update on your Lotus Esprit!
You should just make it reliable and put an EJ25 into it!
Just kidding! Love watching the progress!
@15:53 Archimedes, you win again! 😂
This series is great, can't wait for the next part!
150K subs, congrats!
I logged onto YT over an hour ago and hoped to see a vid like this. Wish granted
I'm surprised you didn't say "that's what she said" when the heater core shot out a stream further than expected. You are entertaining to watch. 🍻
A good thing about being late to the party is not having to wait for the next part lol.
Where'd you get that lift table? I've been looking for one for the motor and subframe work I'm doing. Its probably really expensive, but hoping I can find a cheap one that can do at least 1000 lbs.
Fun to watch and the video ends about the same time that I ate my last kernel of popcorn. Perfect!
Yes, I really have enjoyed this series so far. I'm waiting for you do declare the Carrera fine, then toss it across the garage. Not really. I enjoy all of your videos! They're all fine!
Can't wait to see some work on the Esprit
After watching you work on your Porche, I will never buy one of those headaches. Thanks for the reality break sir!
If anyone hasn't heard this about attaching rubber to metal, like hoses to tubing, or in our case, using it to install tires on motorcycle wheels - A little dish soap makes it a lot easier to slide the rubber on and when the soap dries it turns into a perfect bonding strength glue.
Great job 🥰👍.
Anyone who criticizes what you do is probably someone who doesn't do shit. Man your a worker. Love you videos
Nice work. You've got a lot of patience.
"This is far as I'm gonna go. This has gotten way out of hand."
Description of every car project ever....
You crack me up with your quick wit 😂
Love the videos! I feel like I could remove a Porsche engine while sitting on my sofa! Also, You have my sense of humor!
I like to use stainless ear clamps on automotive hoses. I prefer the way they look with no extra hanging off. They are not reusable, but they are cheap and don't cut into pipes. VAG cars use them.
Early on in my 50 year long career I learned from my boss when he asked me how my task went. I replied “ It’s good enough”!
He then stated “ Good enough isn’t good enough, do it again”!
A most valuable lesson learned on doing a job correctly.
I still have my old boss (long gone) looking over my shoulder every day making sure I do everything the proper way!
I think I hear some VGG references in there PERFECT
You're the kind of guy who gives Yankees a good name! 👍🙂
Really enjoying this build. This is “God’s work” considering the other youtuber you got this from.
Heard from next door, "Honey, Eric's talking to himself in the garage again"
Good work fella
excellent how to on a porsche revival sir wow the sly comments with underlying tones are worth listening to again thanks for the smiles please post more soon
ABA Hose clamps - made in Sweden. Maybe not readily available in the USA, but if you can find them, try them.
cool to see this car come together
15:56 no doubt in situations like this you wished you'd bought an air-cooled 911 😆 Good to see this project moving along, can't wait for the final installation and start up.
I saw that Lotus and kept losing track of what you were doing as well as drooling at the same time.
I think you were doing something to a Prsche. 😆 🤣
Back in the Mid-80's, a buddy took me along with him to another friends house that was working on my friends Mercedes 350SL (converting the battery to the trunk). The guy was polishing the metal air-cooling fan on his Porsche 911.
Adds 10hp! 😁
Nothing like a midweek video love it
Dude that Esprit looks mint.
You need to give credit to your photographer/lift operator. Nice video. That's a lot of work for a home shop.
I always enjoy your videos
Good Job! 911 is like a big Beetle. SHOW ME YOUR KITTIES! Great video, thanks.
It was nice of Porsche to put that handy light holder on the car
i love the way you say It's Fine really it's fine
"I am not a professional, but I am wearing a mask. And I have slept at the Holiday Inn before" 🤣😂
“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’ll be fine” as antifreeze streams at you…lol,,,,thanks for posting
Let's be honest. If that pipe had a connector so it was 2 pieces, you would complain about it having more potential leaks.
Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the entertainment!
congrats on 150K subs
Getting carried away with projects... I totally hear you man, what started with putting floor mats in my car, ended up with 3 trips to the junk yard, new speakers, a new gear shift and me rebuilding my gear shift surround with milk crate, super glue and lots of filing..... HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN!?
That's called, "mission creep" in DC political jargon.
That's not "way out of hand". That's when Sarah-n-tuned gets cleaning your car.
Robby Layton would be proud of your paint prep technique.
I was getting worried that Ol' Blue wasn't going to make appearance in this one - and then there he was! I shouldn't have had any doubts...
You didn't go too far! Not on a car like that. Nice work. I would have suggested one additional step-spraying inside that cross member with 3M cavity wax. It looks like it was pushed or pried back into form from inside which likely has left some exposed metal. Is that an MX-6 on the adjacent lift?
The breeze clamps are much better then your generic worm gear clamps but I'll tell you they do fail.. I've had a couple succumb to rust and or oxidation due to exhaust exposure. Spring clamps are far better and would definitely replace all of the worm gears replaced with them eventually. But I've also been known to leave it alone till it fails lol. Love watching these videos. Good work.. Not a body guy either but you did better then most my buddy's rattle can paint jobs on the shit boxes lol
Dinner and a motor. Dinner with a engine. Supper with a pile. Dinner of motor McNuggets.
Eric your OCD is my spirit animal
Taking that coolant hose off sounded like dropping a duece the morning after a heavy night of drinking 🤣
Aa used 996 is my dream car. I want a manual / hardtop.. prices have almost doubled since I should have pulled the trigger.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It takes a ton more time to video and talk instead of just doing the work.
Could you put up a link for the breeze clamps. I want to just stock a few.
Has anyone ever seen a more versatile or reliable tool than Old Blue?? Well played, young man!
Hey Eric - your mate with the package is back....
Every future owner when it gets cold: "Why do I smell Simple Green???"
j/k
I would love to see you visit VCC. I think that would be a fun episode
VCC who that????
12:00 Just like a professional body and paint job.
Those OZ rims though!
You are a BOSS!
