@@MikesRestorations It’s crazy to think how far this project has come. I think it’s been more than 4 years since I stopped by for a visit. I’m headed to Japan for several weeks this month and may be by your way this summer. Would love to stop by and say hello and check out the project if it works out. Keep up the awesome work!

That would be amazing. In the meantime, I’ll keep enjoying the great content!

Sensei Mike, respect again. You must have been a gynecologist in a past life. You need good fingers just to mount the exhaust. 55 years ago my record was 16 minutes to change a Porsche 356 engine. Don't bug me anymore. hahaha

Great as always! IMHO, I’d rather just listen to you work than the music. But I’ll keep coming back, regardless! The content to so good!

Thanks Kaplan It’s just simply efforts to try and wake up the algorithm.. Not much success there though. Perhaps we’ll kill the music and finish up!

Mike, with this video you have saved people hours of frustration and many barked knuckles. Great job again, showing how it's done and even the setbacks you experienced.

Thanks Douglas, Yes there always seems to be little setbacks with all these things. It’s nice to be able to bring some light to it. Cheers!

Hi Mike! You should place the split of the exchaust straps at the indent (cut-out of the flange) of the muffler. So the bolts will pass by the cut-out of the muffler flange.

Hello Jon The installation location here is from the shop manual referencing early exhaust strap location. Porsche may have later made a change like you are mentioning but I would not know what year the change was implemented. Thanks for the tip!

Can.t wait to hear it! Great job again Mike

Excellent video - I do appreciate all the extra you have to do to make these great videos. One question: Do you know why there is no washer under the exhaust nuts?

@MikesRestorations

Жыл бұрын

Thank you annoo ..Not sure on the answer for that one but it may have something to do with the thick flanges and heat combo. A good question for the professional engine builders.. Kurt at Klassik Automotive Training school would be a good person to ask Cheers!

Woot

any chance that the clamp design changed? I was wondering if the standoff on the clamp was not there if that would provide enough length for the bolt. Belmetric has socket head bolts in both 55, 60, and 70mm lengths.

Hello Jeff Not sure on the changes on the straps over the years. These look just like the ones showing in the shop manual for early cars. The bolts were just too short. I think I ended up going with 60 mm

Hi Mike great videos, what’s the advantage of Copper hardware and where can we buy them?

@MikesRestorations

8 ай бұрын

Hello Goodwood. The main advantage of copper hardware is it helps prevent corrosion of the shareware to the studs. If they were steel eventually driving in the rain with the extreme heat will solidify everything together. Copper has good thermal protection and also will not rust. Stoddard Carrie's some hardware and also Parts Klassik Good Luck!

I did it the hard way.

Great job, What was the torque number,? did I see 35? was that NM, or ft. lbs? thanks

Have you tried swapping the straps or are they identical?

@MikesRestorations

Жыл бұрын

Hello Magic The straps are identical.. it was simply just too short of bolts being used. I think 60 mm was the final verdict Cheers!

any worries or issues with using copper nuts on steel for the exhaust? What are the complications here with using ss on both nut/bolt for mating the muffler

@MikesRestorations

Жыл бұрын

Hello Dustin The proper nuts to use are copper coated to prevent corrosion on extreme temperatures. SS will loosen and also the tinsel strength of SS is very low.. Around 2

One of the bolts isn't positioned in the same direction as the other three Mike. It's driving me nuts

Hello Jack, Yes it’s strange the bolt goes opposite to the other three but that is the only way it installs. The bump out on the heat exchanger won’t allow for the length of the bolt to slide through Cheers!
