HOW BAD CAN IT BE
Joe, it's a powerful, 24 year old car that will have been used hard sometimes. Get it fixed and keep and treasure it. Every Porsche becomes a classic!
I like the comments section, most people are reasonable and have an opinion (keep it or sell it) and then you get the people who are slightly jealous of anyone who has a modicum of success. They seem to think you're an ass because you took a punt on a Porsche but these are the people who will sit in their parents home never going anywhere because they're scared life might give them some lemons. We all know the old saying "If life gives you lemons then make lemonade" so Joe buys a Porsche, it needs some work, he documents it and might break even. Well done Joe and power to ya fella, if there were more people in society with your drive and enthusiasm the world would be a better place.
Great attitude. I won’t lose money and that’s a great result for a gamble!
Yes, I've been a channel viewer and lover for quite some time now so taking on this engine rebuild and visually documenting it would definitely interest me. That's the only criticism I'd ever have of your channel is that we don't see much tinkering content.
Porsche guy knows he's stuff top Man 😊
Brave and innocent Porsche buyer.... love the inspection on it, btw.
You can drive with n
Borescore for years and tens of thousands of miles ... Put thicker oil in it 10/50 millers and just drive it mate ... The coolant leaks needs sorting 👍🏻
Agreed.
As long as it's not using heaps of oil
Enjoyed this video. The Porsche geezer seems so chilled even when given bad news
Have fun with comments Joe 🤣🤣
Nice looking car. Your man gives off a real pro vibe. Knows his stuff. It’s going to be one of those, “ feck it, I’m going all in, on this one” kinda projects. Fingers crossed if you go ahead with it. Everything pans out, and you end up with a nice car to drive around with, later in the spring. Brilliant story telling by the way 🤟
Ben seems such a nice guy which softens the blow of a huge expense.
Considering what I paid for my 996 Cabriolet with less than half the mileage of your car I think you are on the right side for a rebuild and get it sorted, at the same time replace the IMS bearing while the engine is out. You should then be able to break even or at the very least get some enjoyment out of it yourself for 12 months or so.
Martin Brown in Coventry is your man for any Porsche mechanical works, Mike Brewer recently went to him. He’s fantastic.
The 911 ticking or tapping noise is usually a cam follower (hydraulic bucket) or can be also 2 or more.
Keep going, it will be great to see it rebuilt and then used as a daily. I might even do this myself.
If it was anyone else, Joe, I'd be telling you to part it out. As you have some YT revenue and are a dealer, then it widens your optins, ie: fix it, or put it back through the auction. As others have said, it would be nice to see some tinkering content, especially from the clear and easy to understand Ben. I hope as you clearly love the car, that she gets fixed - Good Luck!
Good video it was well worth buying at that money looks a clean nice example .
Get the water leak fixed use it for a few weeks see if it’s using oil if not get an engine machine shop to have a look at the head to see what’s tapping and avoid spending money for an engine repair at any Porsche specialist as they usually use a local engine machine shop to do the work . As a car dealer no reason to be paying for the specialist tax when it’s not them doing the machine work.
these radiator brackets are strong money.. the plastic cowl attached to it normally breaks the connecting nipple off and they are strong money too.. most on eBay have already been Broken.
Forget the piston bore refurb and just look into checking valve clearances first. If you can get rid of the tapping, and the car pulls well and no emission problems for MOT. Leave it there.
Yes 💯 correct thanks 😊
Ah, so one can just leave it be. I wondered what the downside of doing nothing was.
@@jameshardy6277 I agree ….
Agree
@@derekburgess the downside of doing nothing is that, if it is bore scoring, there are lots of little bits of metal and combustion materials mixing with the oil. This may damage other parts of the engine while you wait to do the inevitable rebuild work. I’ve been told that some people do just live without though and sometimes for years. Progression really differs a lot from car to car. There are useful videos in the focus on bore scoring section of LN Engineering’s UA-cam channel explaining how to reduce damage (good oil changed frequently is one thing, for example).
I had a 996 C2 Cab in 2003 from new and it was a lovely car - should have kept it, it would still be worth what I sold it for! Get yours fixed and enjoy a classic, great 911 👍
I’ll take it off your hands when it’s all fixed up! Like Ben says, someone along the ownership line has to pay the repair bill. May as well be you rather than me!! 😂😂
Car deserves the love Joe. Then it will do another 100k happy motoring
Ouch, would love to see it sorted though. I've got to agree with other comments, fix it and keep it, these motors are classics.
The biggest Porsche myth/bullshit is that they are “carved from granite” not my experience from owning two of them. I’ll never have another one 😊 I enjoy your videos
Go for it mate. Lovely car.
Best wishes.
There are two rules when it comes to buying high end performance cars. 1) Never buy one from BCA. 2) Follow all the rules.
No need to thank me.
Keep in mind what the car will be like when it is fixed up. Also, if you are going to completely resleeve the block you can also put in larger liners and new pistons and upgrade to a 3.8L and get more bottom end torque. I've a 996.2 myself and I love it - they are brilliant cars and they fantastic fun, and Porsche does some amazing engineering !
glad you're fixing it. i do like a bit of Porsche content
Look forward to seeing the journey with this one! Great video! 👍
You’re a brave man buying a second hand Porsche anyway , regardless of where it’s come from😅
Oh no, that's awful news about the Porsche, I'll help you out and take it off your hands for £500. I know, I know, I'm too generous! Hold out yer hand!!
An odd Tappet in my old 996 targa 3.6 used to stick if I didn't start it every week ,because the oil drains out of the heads
Lovely car I’d have bought it in a minute . Is it the dreaded IMS bearing or even worse bore score? That really scares me from buying one .
Keep her Joe, fix her up, it will be good content, and she’s worth it ❤
I'm amazed the head gasket hasn't gone with how excessive the coolant leak is + you driving it around so much
I kept it topped up and it never got hot. The leak you saw was under a pressure test
@@ShiftingMetal You could go to Hartech and get the 3.7 or 3.9 conversion....
High ownership on a porsche is normal.
Bore score, can be a hit and miss issue - unfortunately it looks like it on this vehicle. But the mechanic is right, expect to spend more once you start. It only makes sense to do other work whilst the engine is out. For the same reason, I'd just take the pill and do all cylinders, that way you won't run the risk of it happening again!
Good on you for taking a punt.
Loved the mini light saber! 😂
❤😊
Hi Joe, missed seeing the wheels but defo a 911 without tints is better unless your on some king of mission bad boyyyy! 😆
Cracking podcast as usual Joe lovely car why not get it sorted and keep it for yourself you deserve it mate
I was really looking forward to seeing this episode 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
Rebuild the whole engine dude, 💪 💪 then keep it has your Sunday car 😍😍
Looking forwards to a Porsche rebuild mini series. Great buy for the channel.
Great video good to know about buying a up coming classic car from and auction it’s defo a keeper car
My 996.2 tip is my daily. 126k miles but previous owner re lined 4,5,6 cylinders.
Lovin the vids shifting metal, best series since the original top gear with jezza/rich/james 🙏💪 keep it up lads
Hi we know you will get the car back on the road will be nice to see the work being done 😊😊😊😊😊
Nice to hear my preferred pronunciation of 'Porsche'.
Vauge recollection that there is some kind of cylinder coating that can be applied to overcome cylinder scoring or i might be wrong .
To me, it's a beautiful rare colour with a great colour combination with the interior, so definitely worth persevering with it. 👍
Bore scoring causes the tapping noise and sooty passenger side exhaust. I know from experience. I had mine rebuilt two years ago. Common for cylinders 3 to 6 score. I had all six resleeved to hopefully future proof. Get IMS done while it's out. Full chain and tensioner set. My list goes on and on because I didn't want to take it out again. £10k won't cover everything you should get done while it's out I'm afraid. You should still be quids in because of what you paid for it. Good luck. I look forward to watching it rebuilt.
Its almost like your trying to talk him around to your opinion 🤣🤣 please say its ok 😂😂 great vid joe keep em coming ,sell it to mike and elvis 😆
I was 😂
In America on you tube there is a site that is very very Good they are all Dedicated Porsche People they are owners club and much more how know everything about the Porsche I mean everything................... It was on that site I they talked about this Coating to prevent bore scoring. You can have a metal coating in each cylinders which makes each cylinder much harder and prevents Bore scoring ..
The Porsche tech knows his onions 🙌🏼🔥🖤
Ben missed his vocation as a counsellor, his calm manner passing on the bad news
Feel sorry for some mechanics, they're like doctors telling you that itch you have is pretty serious,they don't want to tell you,but you need to know
You've got it Joe 🙂. Engine rebuild:Great video.
That car is a keeper Joe, get her sorted
If you’re in love with the car and can honestly say you will keep it for years Joe, then go all out. But if you’re like me I fall in love with a car, spend a small fortune then get bored! No wonder I’ve no money! 😂
The new addition to “joes garage” taking over from Harry!
painting the wing before getting the engine checked probably wasn't he best idea.. all good content though.. looking forward to the next one
Hello, Joe. Jesus, I hope you can sort this car out, and still make a few quid. Nice one buddy 🥰👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Theres a Porsche specialist doing 996 3.6 engine rebuilds that will sort that out for £3996 plus vat on a very well known auction platform , I’d go with that and smoke it for a while hopefully not literally no then Raffall it and get ya doe back at least .
If the car owed you £12k £13k it’s still cheap for a rebuilt engine one

Welcome to the world of Porsche!?!?
Thanks?!?!?
Change the coolant hoses. My 996 has tried to be air cooled on a number of occasions!
Get it done , make it mint, you will forever be grateful you did, keep it for many years. 😎
To stop the engine noise put some Um Bongo in the oil , works a treat
Worth doing all the liners if your gonna disassemble.if the others wear out down rhe line your back to square one .
There is something quite special about the car. I know it looks like your the one that's picked up the bill, but I'm sure it will be worth it. If you raffle the car I'm buying tickets.
If you get it fixed hopefully we can follow the progress on your vids and UA-cam helps pay the bill.
Keep her and fix her up Joe, sure it'll be worth it in the end, I'm not a huge fan of 911 s but this is a nice looking one
matey.. that is still good value car... if you can get it all sorted under 13-14k all in, you will not lose any money at all...
I always feel very lucky that my 911 was very reliable and other than some water corrosion in the electrics it was fine.
A wise man once said There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche!
Lovely car so get it done, maybe give Barum Engines a ring and have a word as they seem to do a good job?
i would not let them fix my lawn mower
Its a stunning car and I'm pretty sure every penny spent on it now you'll get back in the years to come, plus you'll have the pleasure of owning it and driving it in the meantime! 👍. If it had been a silver one I'd deffo have sent it back to auction! 😂
Automatic 996 911's are less desirable than manual ones, could you convert it to manual when the engine is out?
False economy to do only one cylinder. Get peace of mind have all done.
Love it, you must keep it 😊
Maybe……document the repairs on YT, get it running and looking sweet then raffle it off with ticket prices that cover you, someone gets a fantastic car all for the price of a pint or three! Win win
Great idea 💡
Probably be about 6/8k to fix it. That’s hard luck, it’s just one of them things with these cars. I’d sell it on as it is and say needs engine rebuild as you will never get your money back on it. Keep it if you really like it though. Good luck
That was a definite brown trouser moment Joe, I would just move it on mate, but that’s just my opinion.
Used to have a saying back in the day, you took one for the boys only it wasn't for a car if you catch my drift 😁🏴👍 happy to subscribe if it helps you out
When desirable cars go to auction it’s often because it’s hiding something and the previous owner just wants shot of it.
Look on the bright side, at least it’s not silver 😂
Get it fixed Joe will make great content .might even buy a t shirt to help 🙂
And you’ll look cool 😎
They are ticking time bombs to be fair however once sorted well worth keeping.
Looking forward to future videos❤
Save it Joe it's a nice car 😊 Mini Mike Air freshener looking good #WD
Have you checked the IMS bearing has been fixed?
Least of my concern currently 🤣
Get the coolant leak fixed and put a louder radio in it.......problem solved
😂
Honestly I would just fix the stuff that needs done and enjoy it for a season, then plan for a rebuild next winter.
nice car. Fantastic lovely colour.
To be honest the owners doesn't mean anything im the 15th owner of my car and to be honest it's nothing to be ashamed of 😊 it came with logbook handbook and everything else just do it up a little and sell it if it's worth it I had to get a new steering rack decently for mine going down the A52 and hit a pothole cost me £400 to get it sorted it won't see that money from the government.
That ticking sound for me is a tappet or valve clearance, but I don't know Porsche's, but my thoughts are definitely in the heads
ouch with the bore scoring looks like the videos will be the profit on this one
You are very unlucky with this. I’ve bought them in the trade years ago and other than rms (which isn’t that bad to do) and considerable service items always been good.
Great Channel subscribed
What a joke Greg you are completely right a public safety should be paramount stay safe out there
You don’t want to buy one of these without a bore score report and be aware that some people will present a clean bore score but not from the car they are selling.
Get it down to Barum engines in Barnstable. 👍
