Porsche 911 3.2L Engine Health Check - Leak Down, Oil Pressure, & Air Fuel Ratio

  • Опубліковано 26 лис 2021
  • This engine is getting closer to installation after we get a few bugs worked out. A mechanical guage was used to measure oil pressure directly off the engine block. I used a wide band O2 sensor to measure air fuel ratio as the engine went through its warmup cycle. Then each cylinder was tested for leak down. The results weren't as even as I would hope, but things may improve some once the engine is driven under load.
    Thanks again for watching!

      @@GarageTimeAutoResto Great Video!!! It would have been nice to see where the compression is at cyl #2 and cyl #4 and compare with the other cylinders.
      How many miles were on that top end rebuild?

    • @GarageTimeAutoResto
      @GarageTimeAutoResto  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks. I have a compression tester, but forgot to try it out.
      I don't know exactly how many miles on the top end, but I think less than 10,000.
      My guess is only the heads were done. The leak is at the rings.
      Maybe they did a quick hone, but I really don't know. Car drives great and the new owner plans to drive it.

    Noob here- first video I've watched on your channel- really interesting work. How do you run the engine in your garage like that? I keep looking for a shot of the exhaust with a tube/pipe vented outside but don't see one- I'm assuming you've vented it outside somewhere right?

    • @GarageTimeAutoResto
      @GarageTimeAutoResto  2 роки тому

      Welcome here! No vents, I have two doors that I open for crossflow. Plus I have fans that circulate air. Never noticed a strong exhaust smell.

  • @911engineguy
    @911engineguy 2 роки тому +1

    Really interesting. I think I read somewhere that the afr targets in the motronic for 964 are very lean.. might be same for 3.2?

    • @GarageTimeAutoResto
      @GarageTimeAutoResto  2 роки тому

      Right! I'll learn more when the engine is under load. I know my 912 engine would be popping like crazy at 17 AFR

    With my carbed 2.7 the sweet spot with tan plugs is 12.5. To each engine his own I guess. Loving this segment.

    • @GarageTimeAutoResto
      @GarageTimeAutoResto  2 роки тому

      Yep, that sounds like a good target. My 912 engine fluctuates from 13.5 to 12.0 depending on load and RPM. I think max power is at 12.8.
      Will keep exploring on this 3.2 ,but is should be very capable of holding a steady 12.8 at WOT

    I read that porsche did an upgrade to the cylinder head temperature sensor in the 3.2l engine. The white connector that is one of the trio with reference and speed sensors was changed from a single wire to two wire. I am thinking of making this upgrade. Do you know if the upgrade was just from a single wire connector to a two wire connector or was the temperature probe that screws into #3 cylinder head upgraded also?

      @@GarageTimeAutoResto I have found the answer to my inquiry. It appears that the CHT sensor and connector are all one piece. The new upgrade is to a two wire circuit. Thanks for respond.

      Is bore scoring an issue on that engine? I'm not too familiar with the newer stuff.
