Insurance Quoted $28,000 For a NEW MOTOR... We Fixed It For $20 Instead!

- We bought the cheapest clean title Porsche 981 Boxster in the world. This Porsche was only $19,200 at the salvage auction. Unfortunately after further research the shop quoted to replace the entire engine. So to rebuild this car for cheap, we ended up getting it running for just 50 cents. Will this motor blow up or will our cheap fix of just replacing the oil pan hold up?

This car was backed off a trailer onto gravel, where the exhaust hit the ground and scooped some up.
It may well have backed off uncontrolled and hit something that flipped up under it, causing all that damage. I doubt some little old lady did that.
That noise you heard may have been caused by gravel and dirt in the exhaust.
That's exactly what happened to me, I used a shop vac.
That is what i figured too!
yes, that was no little old lady...
that was a big ol' lady
Wouldn’t you just drain all the oil first before filling it so you know you’ve put the correct amount in? And not worrying about over/under filling it?
Yup realized that too late
@@JRGarage and I realised too late that you guys commented on your own mishap! Loving the daily content at the moment! Max respect from the uk!
Seriously I mean no hate but there are a lot of kids working on their cars watching TH-cam shows like this and that was just downright stupid. Always drain the oil... needed to check it for metal shavings or pieces due to the damage too...
Drama makes people watch , are you stupid, there not, there acting, fools or did they just forget lol, yeah right 👉
Yeah, DUH!
I mean you could put in 1-2k into the undercarriage and maintenance of the engine and you've got a clean title Porsche with under 20K miles. I'd consider that a homerun
Big risk big reward
Just can't let the new owners know of the previous damage or they will lowball u lmao 😂
@@memesyandhorrorshorts if it's fixed there's no reason to disclose it
Buying unseen car, going under it with out jackstands, your oil ideas. Someone should be broke or dead. Hopefully just broke.
How do you guys not have a lift?
They have no money for that 😁
I’ll wager it’s because that’s an airport hanger and they’re not allowed to install one :/
Probably correct, and I bet the rent is cheaper off airport grounds. Next warehouse?
Yes, but there are lifts with counter balance. No need for anchors.
You beat me to it lol. But watching his under the car. Was cringey. Imagine something slips
The fact that you uploaded this at 2 AM in an airport after hours and hours of flight during your vacation really gives added value. Thank you for always giving us great content guys!
Thanks for the info I'm watching this the next day 2 a.m. in Arizona okay late night working on a car sounds fun
This comment right here! Thank you. 2am in Singapores airport after a 18 hour flight still had to get it up!
Rocks in the exhaust = backing it up on gravel tow yard or auction yard while being towed behind roll back with front end up in air and muffler dragging?
Yep
Exactly what I was gonna say.
As many have already noted, draining the remaining oil would have been a good idea. When I used to buy old bikes cheap and work them over I would first drain the oil and then inspect both it and the oil filter to see what might have been going on, if anything. Also would pull the plugs and "read" them to see how the mix/burn was. I know pulling plugs is much more difficult in a Porsche but at least starting with reading the oil filter/oil is a good bet when checking out a potential problem motor. This applies to any possibly crapped out car/bike. You really had the Porsche light shining on you on this one!
Yeah, drain and refill. I'd even change the filter, because you can learn a lot from examining what's in the filter. I just can't believe they didn't check oil level after filling. Didn't they say it reads on dash after shutting off engine?
Also, I believe the plugs on a 987 are pretty easy to get to behind the rear fender liners.
Next time, just remove the sump, tap out dent and take to shop to aluminum weld the cracks. Last time I did this cost $20 (long time ago)..
Gun shot from inside, bullet bounces off the road/floor and ricochets back to the oil pan.
Car skids as driver or passenger panic and slides backwards to a stop into gravel.
That's my guess.
Woah that is a wild guess but it could be true, you never know
@@JRGarage the damage is clearly of coming from the inside.
If the car had somehow landed on a rock the tear would be going into the floor. Also, seems a clear lack of any other similar tears or scrapes anywhere else and the oil pan looks like it's been hit hard by something small.
Isn't there a paraffin test for gun powder? Hole looked shot gun size.
Pretty plausible to me … is there a hole inside ?
You have to definitely start writing movies
Why wouldn't you just pull the drain plug to see how much oil was in it?
Exactly. Just adding oil is not good
I definitely would have welded the pan and floorboard.
Yeah seems like a waste to buy a new pan when that crack would be pretty easy to weld up
Man that was 20 minutes of anxiety... a bit of reflection would do you both justice. Drain oil, look for metal in oil. Refill with correct amount of oil. Definitely do NOT drive this car to the porsche specialist until you have the correct amount of oil. No hate, but you could have totalled what was a perfectly ok engine just with the oil pressure.
@ryandevillers214 He's a kid full of passion. He does seem to rush things. He'll slow down and think more when it costs him way too much not to.
You guys should buy a quickjack it’s like $1,500 if you don’t want a lift
The gravel is 100% from being lowered into a gravel lot from the flatbed look at the scuffs under the tip
That’s the first thing I thought.
Exactly...
I figured someone backed it up into a pile of gravel.
Or "Rock Squirrels". You have to watch out for Rock Squirrels. Tough little guys ....
The rocks in the tail pipe are usually when a tow truck drops it they had the bed too high and crammed the pipe into the gravel at a lot.
Draining the sump seems a much better idea than futile prayer.
Definitely looking forward to this. They have quite the untapped potential and the 6s sound great.
You and me both!
13:50 you need to use a smaller rag to clean the oil off the pan.... The JB Weld should have been done from the inside. Remove the pan, clean, then apply the weld. That was it’s already on the pressurized side. Most Porsche engines use 9 qts of Oil. If this is the 2.7 liter that could be the reason for the 8 qt.
Bro I would have so much anxiety being that close to the car while it’s on jacks
put a spare wheel under it so if it comes off the stand it limits its fall.
Gravel on the exhaust is from the forklift at copart moving it at an angle ... being a low car
Ahhhh this could be it!
Sometimes when the CoPart puts them on their lot the lower exhaust pipes get damaged or gravel in tips. Not a big deal. Just pull the gravel out before you drive it.
You lucked out so hard. Just an oil pan? That’s so lucky
Wow. You know, I'm 43 years old and although I have always admired beautiful automobiles I have never considered looking at or buying a porsche or other fancy sports car because of the cost being so way out of my league, mostly, and like who would I be in such a fancy car. However, you make it seem like a much more attainable dream. Thank you for sharing your automotive vision. I enjoy your content.
you can buy a dip stick, the whole where it goes is just plugged i got one for mine
I need the light you had down on the floor? Where May one purchase it? A Porsche always gets a return on money!! Parts and or fix it!!
It is worth checking to see if that oil pan can be repaired
Man I love every time you turn the radio comes out a really cool song 😂😂😂😂
That damage in the floor is from a gun shot
I don't see how there could be many other explanations with that outward damage.
You should have drained whatever oil was in it first and then filled it back up with to the recommended level
I would take out old oil and would be able to figure out about engine condition.
When the car comes off the flatbed at the auction yard it scraps the ground and you get rocks in the exhaust cause the yard is gravel top. I would have never thought to vacuum the car as the first step in getting this Porsche running but it worked. LOL
Why didnt you drain it first just by the drainplug so you know there is no oil in it anymore and you dont overfill it
You guys should get small lift for hangar
U gotta reach 2million subscribers to get a lift
LOL searching for the key fob...what a great little jokey flex :)
WOW. You guys got lucky. Awesome video.
Why didn't you drain what was left in the car and then put in fresh oil of the specific amount required to fill it?
Why replace the oil pan, would it hurt the resell value to weld up the crack?
@linguini_No1 Yes. Porsche people are like that. Yeah, they are ....
@@boyracer3477 yes they are....🕵♂
If that is an alloy sump pan, you might be able to braze weld with a torch and alloy rods, I did it on the sump of an alloy motor cycle sump.
Killer find!!
13:47 Same thing 92-97 GM LT1 owners say about leaks.
How do you decide on which cars to buy from auction?
Body condition and Price.
Hi jr garage! New day new car! So cool! Love the vids! Happy holidays guys!
cam timing is due to the oil being low and the car being started throws cam codes
I might have drained the old oil out before adding any new. I'd want to check to make sure there were no filings or aluminum chips broken away from the inside of the impacted pan. As you described about the blown-out floor board, something blew that hole out leaving jagged edges.
It would have been safer than risking an aluminum chip or chuck going through the oil sump and then the engine. But since you've had no problem on the video, you guessed right for a car you're probably going to flip.
M mm
No. No
My wife drove over a bottle jack in the middle of the road, similar damage to what you are seeing but we ended up with a crack like yours but in the auto trans oil pan I drained the oil jacked it up JB welded the crack, refilled with oil and drove it for another three years with no issues. Just wondering why you don’t just drain the pan measure the oil volume then you would know how much was left.
That would be too logical🙃
Jb welded my boat motor block 8 yrs ago and still takes me out every summer! lol
I JB welded my steel transmission pan from the inside and outside .make sure you rough up the area.with sand paper.
Make this a giveaway car please. I love the Silver with tan inside
they lifted the car with a forklift at the salvage auction... and that dented the bottom.
My inner detailer is throwing arcane curses at that bottle of windex. xD
@GrandMoffJoseph Why? Don't disagree ... just don't know
What is your code reader clearer apparatus? Love your videos! It would be nice that you would do business videos!
Fingers crossed they don’t find anything major. Beautiful interior on that thing! 🤞
Rocks are easy explanation, seems logical it was backed up or pushed ect and the tips came into contact with a pile of crusher run (those small rocks)
we had a 67 MG 1100 and the universal joint broke and put a hole in the manual transmission. the mechanic told us JBWeld ! worked longer than the car!
The lifting location for Porsche are the sills in front onto the back shell and behind the front shell, it’s an oval shaped hole. Put hockey pucks between the Jack ; stands and the car
Why not just dump the oil that may or may not be in the pan and then fill the proper amount
Yup realized that too late
thank you for the car video happy new year
Hahaha, JB weld the pan and DRIVE HAPPY.
Start and run nicely~~~ It's a Porsche~~.I've been driving Porsches for 50+ years..
drives me nuts how manufacturers deliberately delete useful service features ..like dipsticks, ..or access to pans (another vid about a Range Rover). maybe this model has an "oil low" indicator. if one exists and is not on you're probably good to drive easy while watching oil pressure. oh, just saw that you've got a replacement pan. when that goes in all you'll have to do is measure.
congrats on a great find! 🙂
So something really similar happened when I rode my motorcycle up on the curb and it tore a hole in the oil pan, scratched the fork and rotor caliper, insurance totaled it, gave us 3k and we bought it back for $600, fixed it with jb weld, never failed. Sold it for $3500
The gravel in the exhaust pipe was probably caused by someone backing up into a hillside too hard .
It would make sense to open the drain plug first and see if anything comes out. If not then fill it, minus what should be in the filter and start it.
Have you a way to test for gun shot residue GSR inside the car ⁉️
The rocks maybe from when the car is taken off the tow truck. The angle scoops up rocks when rolling back
You really need to get a vehicle lift!!
The rocks in it exhaust is from the loader picking it up at Copart or tow truck dropping off at location.. so I'm putting my bet down on the dragging and it'll load up the rocks and the exhaust due to the angle
Why wouldn’t you just drain the oil and refill it instead of guessing??? *lol I was 2 seconds early
Wouldn’t continued to run previously for any length of time - or no oil pressure switch on these things?
Remove any oil in the engine per procedure, measure volume. Refill as appropriate.
My favorite car that I’ve ever owned. Wish I didn’t sell it. Can’t wait to see what you find.
It almost looks like there was a little explosion in the passenger side seat and it bounced. I would have to say that the rocks and the exhaust came from whatever tow company dropped it off the flatbed. What do you want to bet they dropped it right on the tail as quickly as they could when they were dumping the car at the insurance auction.
JRGarage great channel. Quick question - I have a 2001 Boxster Cabriolet that I can't get to pass inspection for new sticker, two unready Emissions Test Results for Monitors 1). Catalyst and 2). 2nd Sys., any suggestions to remedy without the cost of $6k to replace both Catalytic Converters? Any suggestions very much appreciated. -Texas Fan-
You’re saying the monitors haven’t checked in yet? After you replace the battery or clear check engine lights that will always happen, they reset. It usually takes around 100 miles to have them all check back in. If you don’t have any check engine light once everything is checked in, you will pass emissions.
It'll run well! Are the rocks out of the exhaust??????
Just backed up against a gravel berm. No big deal. Check the carpet inside for GSR
I believe it starts right up!
I've seen rocks and dirt in exhaust of a BMW 528 at auction. Car was sharp too. Mind boggling. I believe it's done either deliberately or car could had been submerged under water. Hard to say.
Could be squirrels
@@danrook5757 I've seen squirrels do that to a long stored Lambo or maybe it was a E-type. Can't remember which. But anyway, the tailpipes were full of acorns.
Cool looking car
why didn't you drain the oil? That way you would have known how was in it.
I haven't read all comments, but my guess on the gravel in the exhaust was caused by backing it off of a flat bed tow and they scraped-up a pound or so.
Rocks in the tailpipes won’t affect the engine running! Now rocks in the inlet manifold, (boy, then you are in trouble!)
You should have pulled the drain plug drain all the remaining oil then just added how ever many quarts it takes to have a controlled level..
@hugoorozco297 You should have read the comments before you commented. You are number 19 to discuss this on my feed.
At 1.2 million subscribers.....no lift.... TH-camrs got to be the most confusing people on earth....👌👌🇰🇪🇰🇪
Car backs off trailer or truck at an angle into gravel. Boom you get gravel in exhaust
Nice to see someone with good luck on cars, I’m not that guy!
The main problem about overfilling seems to be that it can foul the cats. In other words, just emissions. I'd rather be a quart over than 2 or 3 quarts under.
You guys should be actors, but really love the video
Don’t worry about the rocks in the exhaust that’s where the previous owner accidentally backed into a gravel pile during photography. (I did exactly the same with my E30)
Guy looks like Norm McDonald (RIP)
Are you 💩’n me! 18k and it runs! 😂 you guys are SO lucky!
Just drain the oil sump, measure it and you can tell how much oil was lost.
Excellent content
Glad you enjoyed it
The “JB weld” will not work from the outside. You would have to take the pan off and apply it.
Buy at least a Quickjack for god sakes!
But you guys are awesome despite it is indeed 3am your time in this video. Love watching your videos.
Yeah, I was wondering when the JB Weld would come out. It's what I would have done.
I enjoy these super deal auction finds.
It does drive me crazy that you guys always start these things without knowing oil levels or if it is hydro locked. Just drain the oil. Find out how much was in it. Then put enough in to start it and save an engine.
Flood damaged cars should have the plugs removed and spun over to pump water out. And drain the oil to see if it is oil & water.
@user-od9iz9cv1w Flood damaged cars should be avoided like the Black Plague. You never know what is screwed up in the computers and electrical system and it's almost impossible to diagnose. Didn't Tavarish have a flood damaged Lambo or something that had mysterious gremlins because of flood damage?
looks like water washed some rock into the exhaust
I fixed a hole in a gas tank with two part epoxy that comes in those syringes. That lasted for about a couple years till the gas ate through it
Come on! Your shouldve first bled out oil and after that fill it… such newies!!!
