1967 Porsche 912 (911) Tune Up

1967 Porsche 912, which is very simular to the 911 of that model, oil change and spark plug change. I figure not many people get to work on these anymore so I would show case what it is like to work on a Porsche and one that is getting to be vintage. The 912 is not as popular as the 911 but it is still a nice Porsche. We are still using some break in oil as it only 500 miles on it.
Parts:
Oil filters: Canister- Napa Gold 1010
Spin on- M1205A
Spark Plugs: Bosch- W7AC
NGK- BPR7HS 6422
Oil: PennGrade 10w30- 009-7150

Very clear and enjoyable video, simple engineering!

[@operationoverhaul]

Thank you. These are amazing cars. They were ahead of their time as these had all wheel disc brakes. The engineering was simple yet amazingly effective. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Gotta love that 616 engine!

[@operationoverhaul]

I have to do some more tune up stuff to it soon. They are simple yet effective. I love them

Typical example of someone buying new carbs and trying to run them straight out the box.
Rarely are float levels set correctly let alone the idle settings etc
No wonder the plugs were fouled

[@operationoverhaul]

I actually went back and adjusted them and the valves the next day because they were way off. Even the engine case is leaking oil and I think it is because they did not align bore the crank journals after machining the face of each case half

[@jameshanley1693]

The plugs are fouled because it didn't have a lot of gas in it....really?

[@operationoverhaul]

I meant to say it was getting to much gas. The carbs and valves were adjusted and that helped the excessive fueling issue.

[@targamotors309]

Are you kidding me? This was just rebuilt? The engine is running rich as hell. It didn’t need new plugs. It needs the carbs adjusted and since it was just rebuilt you should have taken the pump sump off for metal bits.

[@operationoverhaul]

I have since adjusted the carb and inspected everything on it. I do not know who rebuilt but I do not think they align bored the crank journals because it is leaking oil from the two halves of the engine block and I may have to remove the engine again
