    Don’t worry about your Porsche. My wife and I bought 1982 911SC in 1986 with 14k miles. Twenty nine years later we sold it with 195k for more than we originally paid. I miss that girl. The car, I still have the wife!

    Big fan of all your videos, tricks of the trade, As a technician for many many many years, your first mistake with the exhaust manifold or turbo studs was not heating it Using oxygen and acetylene heat heat it until it’s glowing and then try to remove, I have always had success with high mileage vehicles with this method.

    • @joshuagies4900
      @joshuagies4900 17 днів тому +13

      The other trick I've used (shout out to my friend Tyson) was to melt candle wax onto the head of the bolt. The liquid wax gets into the threads and makes the bolts easier to remove. Used it on my brother's aftermarket Yoshimura exhaust on his motorcycle that had hex head bolts (why???) and seen it used on Merkur exhaust manifold bolts.

    • @jayymac
      @jayymac 8 днів тому

      If your CV boots are already torn, loose or leaking, you may end up having to replace the entire axles. Both sides of mine leaked at one point over the years, and by the time I caught them, either too much grease had escaped, or too much water or debris had gotten in (or both), that I was getting heavy vibrations from the drivetrain under WOT at highway speeds. Each time I caught one, I would pack more grease in there and replace the clamp, but the damage had already been done. It took me years to pull the trigger on replacing the axles, because they’re so expensive and there’s no guarantee they would fix the vibrations without installing them and finding out. Thankfully in my case, they eliminated all vibrations and restored 100% smooth acceleration to the car. I forget if it ever felt as smooth as glass as this!

      @ there most certainly are Stage 1/2/3 tunes without crackle. They typically call the ones with pops and bangs a “crackle” tune and you can add it on to whatever stage tune you want. All it is doing is adding extra fuel which ends up in your hot exhaust and ignites.

    Rich, I don't know where you got the idea that Porsche owners don't drive their cars. We are the most driver centric group yoou will meed in the german performance car area. Ferarri and other cars may not be driven but Porsche owners wear their mileage like a badge of honor. Mine is my daily driver, my buddy has put over 325,000 on his two Porsches combined and still going. His current 911 (997.2) has over 200K on the clock. Porshes are made to be driven.

    I'm not sure about the 991 Turbo S, but you can get smaller cats for some Porsches that weigh less and also provide a little more power without a CEL. I like Soul Performance and Fabspeed. Also, I was curious why you didn't use launch control for your "launch" tests. I'm assuming you eliminated the valves and that's why you have the pops.

I think liquid wrench penetrating oil fared best, and pb blaster ended up 2nd to last among the oils he tested on rusty nuts and bolts. A mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone ended up a close 2nd behind liquid wrench. PB blaster didn't do as well as WD-40. I hate WD-40 for anything and I don't own it. Koil ended up in dead last.

    No need to break those studs. Get an acetylene torch and water hose or old A extinguisher. Heat the nuts up until they're red and quench them down. Try and loosen with a reasonable amount of torque by hand and if still stuck repeat the heat. Saves a bunch of time getting broken stuff out.
