The oil filter housing is a once in a lifetime task - you dont want to it twice. It is a proper fiddle to do and the gaskets do corrode. Heater control valve is definitely worth changing. The oil pipes are crazy expensive (if available still)
Usually the balance shaft seals have direction arrows on them. Upper (clockwise) Lower (Counterclockwise) Easier to remember than circles and squares 😉
I have a kit to do the oil cooler seals, but it looks like that area is dry so might not do it. The car had good oil pressure the times I started it, so unless there is an oil leak I am going to leave that whole area alone.
@@GarageBiljon The issue with the oil cooler housing is not so much external leaks, its more internal deteriation of the gasket causing oil and coolant to mix.. Its not a difficult job in itself, its only the access that's tricky, but you are almost there already..
Good job. How do the motor mounts look? When we started on mine i had the whole thing Ice blasted then sent parts off for vapor cleaning which came back looking new. But for me it all started with collapsed motor mounts.
Great video! Just a layman’s question: when you drill out the snapped bolt you are not afraid of getting metal debris in the radiator? Or did you expect that would be flushed out by the cooling fluid?
Thank you Gertjan, the bolt is made of plastic so no metal shavings to worry about. But even it is was metal, the goal is simply to make a small hole, not drill it through. Then you van put a bolt extrator in it.

Definitely recommend getting a new coolant expansion cap. Seems to be what solved my 944 running quite hot!
Thanks for the advice!

True but those arrows are super small and would require me to know which way the shaft turns 🙈

Nice! If you're doing oil filter housing, probably bea good idea to also check oprv as well

I haven't looked at them yet. Once the engine is done, I will start tackling the suspension en mounts.
