My name is Johann and I love all things Porsche, but I am a lover of all things mechanical. I earn my money as a strategy consultant in the area of Data Management and Governance. When I am not working and spending time with my family , I spend time restoring classic Porsches at home in my garage.
Follow the work I do on my Porsche 924 Safari, Porsche 924 Turbo and many more Porsches from small upgrades to full services as well as mechanical overhauling and engine rebuilds. I am an experienced amateur mechanic, but there are many things I don't know and we will discover together what works and what doesn't
My goal is to show you how I do things, tell you what went wrong and help prevent you from making the same mistakes. Every now and then I might also document some of our many road trips with my Porsches.
Thank you for watching and please leave me your feedback and input!

Roof rack part #??
Borrowed a mate’s impact driver and that sorted it. Did my car and the donor car at the same time. Only one caused problems.
Hi! I have a 968 too. I would like to do maintenance on the VARIOCAM system. Do you have a guide to download or something similar? Thanks a lot Sandro
Haven’t heard from you for a while… how’s the 968 coming along? Cheers!
Progress has been slow due to other priorities, but there will be a video coming out soon!
Hey, I didn't really understand how to remove the pilot bearing. How did you do it and with what tool?
The first step is to spray the pilot bearing with penetrating fluid to break down any corrosion between the bearing and the flywheel. It's important to note that the pilot bearing has a threaded section. Find a bolt that fits into these threads; I used one of the belhousing bolts. Once you have the correct bolt, find a pipe or socket that the bolt can pass through. Ensure that the head of the bolt is held back by the socket or pipe, and add a washer if needed. Now, all you have to do is tighten the bolt, and the pilot bearing should slowly pull out of the flywheel. If the bolt bottoms out, add more washer/spacers. I hop this help.
About to start this fight
Hey, where did you get your new flywheel bolts. I can't find anywhere that sells them :(
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
How hard was it to remove the trim you are installing at 14:38? I am scared i will break it when i try to remove it.
I did not find it difficult, but you do run a risk of bending the trim, so just be gentle. It is a press fit.
Bedankt voor de super heldere uitleg! Ik moet die van mij ook doen, en dit heeft me frisse moed gegeven!
When are we getting new videos???
Soon!
Still waiting. Doing a bit on my project nearly every day
Very interesting and also optimistic. Flooded. And no problems with the electricity (Connections and so on ?).
Oh there were many, many issues, but she is almost back on the road again and as good as new 😎
great bulid ! What kind of tire do you have on this car/spare, brand and dimension
Maxxis MT753 195/80 R14
@@GarageBiljon great thanks, did they fit without the lift?
Yes they did @@Narve-ij7wi, but I had very little clearance in the front. I think they would have damaged the front fenders if the suspension was compressed more than usual.
@@GarageBiljon They come in 185/80-14 as well, then they have some more room
The issue isn’t the width, but the height @@Narve-ij7wi
The rear bearings could have suffered from the water…
Yes, that is possible, but they sound ok. I’ll take the risk 😅
Belt for. Generator!
Love your videos! What grit sandpaper did you use in this video?
I honestly can't remember, but I think 400.
Hi, i want to raise my 924, can you tell me the parts i need for that job? thank you from Belgium ;)
You need a spacer in the front that goes between the top mount and the body. For the rear you need to reindex the torsion bars.
great help thanks for the clear description of the bearing placement order etc...i think the triple square head bolts are the originals and people tend to use hex/allen when they replace them.
Glad it helped!
Should have cut the J Pipe and put in a flex sleeve on it. The common fail point of the J Pipe is the weld at the flange to the waste gate due to vibration. Putting in a flex sleeve dampens the vibration and keeps the pipe from breaking off.
True, but the previous one lasted nearly 40 years, so I will hedge my bets 😃
Any video on how to remove the Roof of it ?
No, sorry, I don’t. The toughest part is getting to the screws under the rear windscreen. But in general it is not a complicated procedure
@@GarageBiljon yess my friend the one to the side i cant even out my figer in i dont know what idiot made this roof
Awesome video! Hope there will be more on the 931 on your channel.
Thank you Bob, there will be some videos coming in the near future. She needs a new clutch and some other odds and ends.
Johann...Thank you so much for your valuable time and considerable effort to crate and publish this library of restorative adventures. Your work has inspired me to work on my 968 that has been parked since the kids went to college . Then after surviving a widow-maker....my thoughts and energy to bring my 968 back to life- faded. So, Thank you for making a difference. I really, really appreciate your great work.
Thank you very much Criag! I wish you the best with your recovery and hope you find the energy for the 968 again.
Very nice job Johann 👌🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Fantastic, great overhaul - you must be getting more and more keen to see how it drives! I did a similar scope as you on my U.S. 968 white convertible back in January before shipping it over to the North of Italy where I now live. Koni yellow's (softest setting) and new discs. Front end is still not super tight and looking at the bushings now, going from easy to harder, starting with the anti-roll bar bushings, then the arm perhaps. Part of it might also just also be related to the inherent body flex of the cab. Still a joy to drive but will give it a good go to see how much improvement I can make.
Yes, the cabs have quite some flex. I put mine on the middle setting, hopefully I can start driving her this summer 🤞
Another top video great job thanks
Thank you Gregg!
Brilliant work Jon! Been there, done that on suspension. With the flooding, did you already redo wheel bearings?
Thanks Jeff, I have not replaced the wheelbearings (yet) all four sound really good, so I don't think any water found it's way past the seals, but time will tell.
That engine bay looks brand new. This car will drive as it good looks I’m sure. As always a pleasure to watch and thanks for sharing
Thanks Terence, I am quite chuffed with the results! I am still a little woried about the clutch, but time will tell :)
Looks brillant . I am doing my 968 Coupé since 2022. But i needed to change the cams. At the end i did the hohle Engine. What i wantet to say ,: Nobody should leave the costs of those out of the eyes. The Parts are very expensive and it is a Lot of work . Regards from Austria
Thank you! I agree, I do my best to inspect every single component and replace where neccesary. I am sure there are still many surpises still waiting for me with this car.
Good to show the brand new engine bay. Wow, very good looking...
Thank Jeroen, she turned our so much better than I hoped!
Would love to watch you're channel, but that music is just unbearable!
Not much I can do about that now 😅 I hope it helps even though it’s torture.
Great work Johann and a pleasure to watch as always.. Regarding the new blue injector caps, they do indeed work fine even though they will sit higher than the injector tip unlike the original green caps that sits flush. When I rebuilt my injectors I had the same concerns and wondered if they taller blue caps would interfere with the spray pattern, but since the originals broke when removing them, I had no choice but to install the blue caps before taking the injectors to a shop for ultrasonic clean and flow testing. And they worked 100% fine with the blue caps with no interference to spray pattern at all. In fact there was only 1% difference between the four injectors, so as good as new basically.
Thanks for the tip Alex, I was thinking exactly that; that they would ruin the spray pattern. Good to know that they don't!
Another great episode Johann and a pleasure to watch as always.. Always a tense moment when firing up the engine after major works and long hiatus, but sooo satisfying when its finally alive and running smoothly.. Well done and looking forward to the next episode.. :-)
Thank you Alex!
Absolutely wonderful. I only wish the cluster install would have in better detail. However over all I enjoyed it tremendously.
Installing the cluster is very straight forward, justa couple of screws and clicking i the wiring harness, not even 5 minutes of work. Happy to answer any questions you might have.
Great to see the old girl running again it was a mission but you got there Top job you have done just brilliant
Thank you very much Gregg!
I have totaly no knowledge about cars but I love the way you explain it takes me in a Zenn mood 😂. Good job Johann 👍
Thank you very much John!
Well done bloke ❤👍
Nice job with the repair and cleaning - a lot of people do not realize how much time one must spend on cleaning... Very helpful video. Please keep releasing these - they are a great ressource. Can I just advise to wet the windscreen next time before trying the repaired wiper motor? Prevents that the dry wipers scratch your windscreen...
Thank you very much! I'm glad I could be of service.
Congrats 👌 Well done👍
Thank you Willem!
Congrats! Great work on this one :)
Thank you very much!
Love your work! Have you set up the balance belt tension with a belt tension gauge or using the 90 degrees twist trick?
Thank you! I used the twist method, it has served me well over the years. I have a krikit gauge, but have never used it.
Great Work!
Thank you Dirk!
Thats brilliant work mate I’m so pleased there was no major problems for you. How did removing and replacing the fuel tank strainer go. What method did you use. Im about to replace mine with both filters and some underside fuel lines. The original fuel pump seems ok, so I think I’ll keep it.
Thanks Terence! The strainer came out quite easily, I have seen some issues on forums where the"holder" came out with the strainer, but I think that is a rare occurance. I just put a 17mm splanner on it and it came right out, it wasn't stuck or rotted in. I would say this was probably the easiest job out of all of them. If you are not replacing the fuel pump the carier can stay put, just open the little hatch by romving the two metal screws and it should expose the fuel line and strainer.
Thanks for that. I knew some people had problems removing the filter and I was a bit wary. But I’m from the school of prevention is better than the cure as these filters can break down with time and can cause a headache. Can I say I’ve watched all your posts on this series and would like to thank you for taking the time and effort. This series is an absolute goldmine for 968 owner, very skilfully put getter, and a pleasure to follow the progress.
What is smoking on the right of the engine?
That is just things like WD40 burning off. That is always the most scary bit about starting an engine after this much work; knowing if the smoke is harmless or impending doom 😅
@@GarageBiljon Yes, that was concerning and a bit scary.
Runs like a dream! What a beaut this will be. Great job Johann.
Thank you Jasper!
Good work! Had a similar experience when resurrecting my CS that I bought from Kuwait which hadnt run for 12 years. Turned out to be a dead fuel pump in that case where as I'm guessing your DME relay or something beyond isnt working? Have you drained the gearbox oil? (sorry can't remember!)
Thanks Jake! It now even runs on the DME relay, so not quite sure what the issue was. I read on a forum that sometimes the pump can’t overcome the air pressure being built op in the rail, but that makes no sense to me as it is an open system. I have ordered a new relay to be safe. I also drained the gearbox oil. I was very worried about it having water inside, but not a drop and the oil was still fairly fresh too. All fluids except for the brakes have now been flushed.
@@GarageBiljon excellent - did you check the flywheel / clutch?
Fantastic! Congratulations and thank you for the troubleshooting information. Priceless
Thank you very much Alan!
Congratulations. So good to see her running again. Well done.
Thank you, it is such a relief, half way trhough I was very worried 😅
Woohoo! This is terrific news. It'll be on the road in no time at all. New relay and then on to paint correction😁
Yes, the toughest parts are now done, now on to the suspension! She runs on the relay now by the way, I am not sure why she wouldn't before. As far as I can tell there was no reason for the pump not to rigger on the relay from the start 🤔 I have a solid state DME relais on the way just in case.
