Huge respect, as a fellow SC owner and engineering graduate it’s wonderful to encounter someone who not only has the theoretical knowledge but practical skills. I will be doing more jobs on my SC having bought a barn find morris minor and got it road worthy as my self training project! I look forward to watching and learning more. Will
I love the amount of oscillation between the Technical Work & the Theoretical Information (Ex: plastically deformed bolts, [ how meticulous you are with the explanation and word choice "the friction, well not friction but the viscosity which is like friction .." } ] ), as a student it's music to my ears. :)
Whew! I’m so happy the rods bolted up ok - that was very compelling and I really enjoyed watching the process. I also started messing with motorbike valves on my 70s BMWs
I am glad you found the video helpful! I hope this series is a resource for folks rebuilding their own 911 engine. I tried to capture many of the details that are hard to find. Thanks for the kind words!
Well done there Professor! It great video. It was worth the long wait between EP2 and EP3. The white board fluid dynamics lecture was very insightful. Look forward to EP4 - hope you won’t make us wait too long.
What perfect timing. I’m just about to start the assembly of my 3.0 SC engine for my 914. Watching your videos and using Dempsey’s book has been very helpful. Any chance you could make your spreadsheets available?
That's great to hear! The whole point of this video series is to have a comprehensive resource for anyone trying to rebuild an air-cooled 911 engine. There were a lot of tricks I had to figure out that I didn't find in other resources. I want to save others that hassle! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Your students are lucky to have you as a professor! Quick question: what happens to the plastic gauge when you are finished with it? Is it removed and how so?
I am working on a similar build 79 SC 3.0 - how did you achieve 9:8:1 compression ? with CP 9:5:1 pistons and milling the heads down ? I dont see CP with 9:8:1 also working with William Knight and Richard Parr. Also gong with standard refurbished bores and 464/465 Web Cam.
William Knight ordered custom-made pistons for me. That's how I got the 9.8:1 compression ratio. Most of the piston companies will make whatever pistons you need.
so much anxiety jumping into this. These videos are calming. thanks so much for this
Glad they are helpful!
Your smile at the end of the video is priceless, good job!
As a performance motorcycle engine builder and tuner I really enjoyed the plain bearing discussion. Looking forward to more! Keep them coming please.
Thanks for the kind words! I just posted the latest video!

Agreed. Look forward to the next one.

I appreciate the comment! I am trying to be accurate with my descriptions.
Keep'em coming. I'm local to MIT and have to tear down my SC engine (broken head studs). These tear down/build up videos are fantastic.
Will do! Now that One Lap and my semester are finished, I should be able to post much more regularly.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Very nice video with a lot of good detail info about stuff that you normally don't come across in videos like this. Much appreciated!

Great video - and thanks for the recommendation on the NOS Mitutoyo Micrometer Set, I’m definitely picking up a set!
Awesome! Glad that was a helpful tip!
Looking forward to the next one! Really insightful!
Just posted the latest video! Hope you enjoy it!
Keep the videos comin man, i really enjoyed it, and i learned some new stuff which is always very cool
Thanks, will do!
Great video! I did my 3.2 last year and I'm loving it. Best project I ever tackled and the most rewarding.
Way to go building your own engine!!! Lots more content to come from me.

Wondering when your episode 4 will be online , i really apreciate !!!!
Just posted it! I am sorry for the long delay. I will keep them coming!
Great experience 😂😊
Next go around you might add an ARP rod bolt stretch gauge to your process.
You can do it that way, but ARP does not require it. Saved me a little money not having to buy another tool!

It is made of a wax-like material and scrapes off easily with your fingernail.
Hey man , hope all is well , when’s the next video coming don’t leave us hanging 😂
I just posted it! Sorry for the long delay!
