Unbelievably good work. You’ve turned a disaster all the way round to an engine upgrade. I didn’t think this would be possible. Saved yourself thousands too.
Massive respect for just getting on and doing it, I’m sure filming is a real pain, but I’m sure you would get massive interest in far more details on what and how, especially given the rep these engines have (although of course hopefully you won’t need to rebuild one again)
Great work! I love your chilled attitude towards it all. Was surprised the heads cleaned up so nicely, looked horrible, and thought you might have needed to do more there. The Hartech work looks amazing, expensive, but worth it hopefully. This is diy hero stuff, very enjoyable to watch 👍
Top job sir! That must have been pretty stressful when the crank company said it was lost and to do one. They should be ashamed of themselves but a great result getting a new replacement. Would be nice to see how much power it's making with the new capacity after running in
I did the same thing on my old 996 drive way engine removal same manifold s etc it was a satisfying thing to do especially when it started for the first time
Great job, really impressive. It’s not crazy if you have the skills and the determination. If you’re not declaring it then please just ignore this as it’s not meant to be questioning that but would be interested in knowing what the impact is on insurance for the oversized engine…if it’s a lot more and reduces the insurers that will quote, etc.
I'd be tempted not to tell them, no insurance company is going to pay for an engine stripping to check the bore size and if they did you could play dumb. However, admittedly if they did they could avoid paying out.
Hi, for the hartech price what did that include. I'm guessing they just had parts of the engine to sort did they fully rebuild the motor after and you fit back in ? Cheers
They fitted the cylinders and machined the cases, supplied the pistons & rings pre gapped. And performance main bearings. I assembled it all and fitted the engine.
Did you say 3000 miles for running in? That’s a lot more than any engine I’ve heard of. I thought 1000 was typical. Mind you, we were told that in the 1970s and knowing the patience of a teenage lad for thrills, not many motorcycles got that. Many of them are still alive on their original engines because they mostly got laid up by 30,000.

I love that youve done it on your drive, for what youve done it seems relatively cheap. Gives me hope if mine develops an issue!
Great work! Video title had me worried that the engine had failed again though. 😲😀👍🏾
Well worked, good job, eventual new crank a bonus in the end. Enjoy!
patience of a saint, mate, legend!

Fantastic work!!
This is seriously impressive
Fair play to you mate, how rewarding it must feel to have done it yourself.
Well done. Glad you didn’t break it. Great job and not bad price in the end to be fair
Very nicely done!
Brilliant video, top marks for doing the work yourself.
Great video.
Please keep us updated.
Impressive.. I am surprised there is no bed in under 4,000 rpms.

Yes it was
Impressive....thanks for the great update on your 911
Great work! So did you get Hartech to increase the size from 3.8 -> 4.1? Would love to hear what you think of that from a performance perspective.
I can’t believe it absolutely brilliant if anyone else needs there car fixed you know wear to go and who to call 📞
Great job.had 2 997s and both had engines _
Superb job, brave man tackling that, do you have an engineering or engine building background?
Jeez that’s a bargain compared to what we pay over here. I’d say it’s certainly worth the money if you can get past the heartbreak. Congrats!!
Well done & congratulations to you. From your accent, you’re steeped in the techniques and tools required to attempt thou & the motor sounds well.
Thank you! 😃
awesome work, I enjoyed the video too.
Absolutely brilliant great watch
Freaking great effort 👏👏

Wow! Utmost respect sir!
Good effort! If you paid yourself £20 an hour labour you’d come out more expensive than hartech. Guess that makes hartech cheap!

Good job, enjoy it, thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
Did you have to do anything with the mapping ? Or can it all compensated for itself with the increased displacement?
Turned out to be a cheap job when you consider it’s a Porsche 👍👍👍I’m sure dealer prices would be 30 k upwards
👏👏👏Great job well done hats off to ya ✌️🐸
Awesome job pal!!
How did they clean up the damage on the combustion chamber in the cylinder head?
No idea I do know they skimmed the head as well. Was a small engineering shop in the black country. Wouldn't know it was there if you walk passed it.
What caused that ?
IMS bearing ?
Could you turn up the gain on your mic mate got my phone on max volume taa. Keep up the great content
Will do
A dealer told me years ago to avoid the 987 911 for this reason. He said 986 engines were good,, 987 bad, 991 good.
What cc is it now?

Why isn’t this a recall by Porsche as these 997 engines are poorly designed and all will require an engine rebuild sooner or later.
sound is terrible ,really hard to listen to
I’m working on updating to better equipment.
