I think I've watched every single one of your aircooled 911 videos, you have so much knowledge that is hidden in your vidoes while you explain things. I really appreciate that kind of insider info!
This video really clearly shows the steps you need to go through. That's a pretty awesome 911 that you're working on with the twin plug ignition and other custom parts. I bet it sounds fantastic.
Hey JF, you can see that engine running on a couple of other videos, ua-cam.com/video/sSQEqPMGiso/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7AiPZSiv4Tk/v-deo.html Thanks for watching
The exhaust is wrapped with an insulating wrap. This serves two purposes, the fist one that it will reduce the heat coming off the headers. This helps keep engine bay temperatures lower and also helps prevent excessive heat being transferred into the engine oil lines that are running close to the pipes. The other thing it does is help with engine performance. If you can keep the heat in the headers it will keep the exhaust gas speed up. Thanks for watching Kurt
Thanks so much for sharing this video on UA-cam. I was curious as to how long it would be to take out a 911 engine. I have a 1976 911S that I just bought. And the shop where I left it for new tires said it has a massive oil leak from a split seam in the oil cooler. They are quoting 13 hours of labor. It's hard for me to wrap my head around that amount of repair hours, especially when other folks have told me it is possible to do such a repair with the engine in place. I understand taking the engine out might be easier, but 13 hours?!! Thanks again for the video. I am trying to educate myself.
So the book time on that engine for removing and replacing the engine is 6.5 hours I would add another 2 hours to do the oil cooler. However, the shop it is at may charge different rates depending the cars condition, and local cost of doing business. If it does not sound like a fair price to you I would recommend talking to another shop in your area and maybe towing the car to a better repairer. Kurt
Hi I was asking where you got engine removal fixture you indicated Porsche part ,well I can not find it would you have part number, thanks for all you for porsche enthusiast Rick
Rick, Tool numbers that you need are P-9111 and P-911/1, These are going to be tough to find as none of the after market tool vendors are carrying these items anymore. Kurt
Hey bud first thanks for the video I was wondering what year 911 is this? I am going to drop a engine on a 1987 in the morning would this be the video for that year? Thanks again bud
This one is a modified 1977. Your 1987 will be different. The clutch job shows a later model, 1985 which will be closer to yours. ua-cam.com/video/Nxplw5V7dDM/v-deo.html Thanks for watching, S
The jack is just a regular 2 ton shop floor jack. The adaptor to fit the engine is a Genuine Porsche tool and you can still buy them from Porsche, just be prepared to pay a premium for it. Kurt
I can't find that floor jack adapter anywhere. Any chance you'd be willing to sell me one or make me one? I have an '82 911 SC (3.0) that has some broken head studs so the engine is coming out.
Trevor, There are two parts to the engine jack tool, the plate and the knuckle. The plate shows that it is available in Germany, however the knuckle shows it is on back order. Send me an email at contact@klassikats.com and I can give you some pricing on those pieces Thanks Kurt
THIS IS WHY I TELL ALL MY CLIENTS TO STAY AWAY FROM PORSCHE. EVERYTHING THEY DESIGN IS AWFUL.. I NEVER SEE A HAPPY MECHANIC. THEY QUIT AFTER A FEW YEARS.

Always nice to see a pro at work. A few tips learned here will be applied to future engine outs.
Thanks Charles. We have some tricks going back in too!
Nice one. The rubber caps are a nice touch.
There is always some oil, but the caps make a big difference. Thanks for watching
Always great, informative videos. You are a pleasure to watch and always learn a lot👍
Thanks Roger
Kurt
Enjoy your videos, thanks for the great details. I’m about to do the same on my 78SC that’s been in storage for about 5 years.
Nice!
Kurt
Great video and thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Kurt
Great video! Is that tool you attach to your floor jack homemade or can that be purchased?
It is a factory Porsche Tool, not sure if they are still available. I also have another one that I built myself.
Kurt
Thanks Kurt. Always learning tips from you. Those rubber oil plugs are handy. do you get them in a set?...cheers.
No I have to buy them according to the size I need.
Kurt
@@klassikatswhen reinstalling the chain tensioners do you pump them up in oil by hand or can you just install them?
If you are talking about the pressure fed tensioners then no. If you are talk about the non pressure fed tensioners then you need to call us.
Kurt
Nice job on the engine and tranny removal. What is that exhaust wrapped with ? I have not seen that before.
The exhaust is wrapped with an insulating wrap. This serves two purposes, the fist one that it will reduce the heat coming off the headers. This helps keep engine bay temperatures lower and also helps prevent excessive heat being transferred into the engine oil lines that are running close to the pipes.

Nice working ❤
Thanks ✌️
thanks for the video, the color of the car is dis peru red!! ??🤔
No idea what color this one is. The owner had the car painted at a local shop and who knows what formula they chose.
Kurt
@@klassikats 👍
What's the go with that rear swaybar?
Not sure what you mean
Kurt
@@klassikats is it an adjustable type? Looked a bit different to the standard arrangement.
no just a stock rear bar and drop link assembly.

Okay, I have 34 years of working on these cars and I would have to say that I'm not unhappy about it. But what ever works for you I guess.
