Congratulations, Tom. No matter how many times you build an engine, it never gets old... nothing duplicates - or replaces - that sound when it lights off the first time. Now, if rebuilding a four cylinder pushrod has become something you could do in your sleep, and the six-cylinder no longer presents a challenge, it's time to do a type 547, four cylinder, four-cam engine....

Thank you! You send me a four cam and I'll do the videos 😀 I do have one more 616 engine to build for my 356.

Looking after Your family (and yourself) is important, still it was fun to watch the engine running again. You must have spent a lot of time cleaning, polishing and painting the engine, it looks as if its brand new. Well done.

Thanks for noticing the hard work on the engine. I didn't fully restore everything, but I did the easier stuff. I must say it does look good in there even with all the extra stuff Porsche cluttered these engines with.

Been there, did a complete engine rebuild on my 3.2. Nobody was more surprised than me when it started.

Missed you and glad you are mack. Glad the medical issues are under control.

I agree with Professor Porsche 😀

It's well known that the 3.2 motors are one of the most robust and reliable motors Porsche has ever made. I should know I have one in my 73 911 ;)

Congrats, Tom. Sounds good, even without that one injector working. Glad you've had good family time - very important. Oh, and I'm sure that new car is a Triumph!

Thanks, it felt weird not checking comments over the weekends😀. It's good to be back. Thanks for the kind words about my mom.

It must have been very satisfying to hear the engine fire off for the first time. Excellent result and an outstanding series of informative videos on this car. Great to hear that your mom is doing well.

Thanks! Its such a relief to hear it run again and a fun series for me as well. All the shiny bits and clean parts are very satisfying to look at. I'm with my mom now and all is going well.

Next time you have the motor out, put in a momentary switch to the starter circuit so you can crank it from the rear. Over in the left side is a good spot. Being able to crank and reach the throttle from the engine compartment make life easier sometimes.

Thanks for the tip. I wanted the fuel pump to run too. Makes total sense for an earlier carbureted engine.

I admire your thoroughness, patience, and persistence. Whenever I work on my 85 911, I use your videos as a reference. Thank you for your channel and best wishes to you and your family.

Wishing your mom a speedy, complete recovery! Well done on the engine refresh…I admire your thoroughness. Was there anything to be done about the smoke leak from the throttle body?

@GarageTimeAutoResto

Thank you, she is determined to get back to her usual life and will be back soon! Good observation about the throttle body. It does leak on the throttle shaft, but I couldn't feel and play so I left it alone. It's on my list to keep an on it. The smoke is incredibly small and sneak through the tiniest of places. I did find a broken vacuum line under the car too! I love the smoke test machine.

You do great work

Great success with the engine! Looking forward to seeing this one back on the road.

Me too. Thanks for watching.

Can you run some test leads to that dead injector and do some quick taps on the battery posts to exercise it to bring it back to life? It's a Jag trick. Another classic car huh? Glad you finally bought a Jaguar! 🤣 Well done on the engine install.

I have a little Matco fuel injector pulser that does the same thing you mentioned. It pulses very fast though. I ended up taking it out and pulsing it while in the ultrasonic cleaner and it started working perfectly again. Jag is a good guess always wanted one😀

Very nice!

Great video and channel. Family first!

Any downside to leaving the plugs in, other that engine not spinning quite as fast. I am about to do this on my '88 and, as I recall, I did not remove the plugs when I rebuilt the engine 10 years ago. I have recently dropped the engine to replace the clutch components and ready to fire it up.

@GarageTimeAutoResto

The only downside is more pressure on the bearings during oil pump prime. But if you didn't take the engine apart, then mostly likely a nice oil film still on the bearings. You could remove the ignition coil wire and at least prevent it from firing. That is where the combustion pressures really go up.

If I recall correctly you were having an issue with the reference and speed sensors not being compatible with the flywheel. How did you resolve that issue?

@GarageTimeAutoResto

3 ай бұрын

Right, I had two issues with the flywheel sensors. The original speed sensor was corroded into its bracket and I damaged it getting it out. The new one fit just fine. The second issue was the aftermarket Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel had the mark sensor pin in the wrong place so I was concerned about the ignition timing accuracy. They agreed to take it back and have a look, but in the meantime I put the stock flywheel and clutch back in. This car doesn't really need a performance clutch package and my understanding is the clutch pedal feel is harder, so I will probably sell the patrick hardware to someone who wants it more than me.
