  • In this episode of Raj's Garage, we delve into the ongoing issues with my 964 Turbo. In the previous episode (link below) we dropped the car to our friends over at Northway Porsche and discussed the problems with head-technician Paul.
    With the engine now out of the car, Paul sheds light on unexpected findings and what could potentially be an expensive bill. Meanwhile, at Porsche Reading, my eagerly awaited 992 GT3 RS has just landed…

    7.5k for an engine rebuild and sorting a bunch of issues seems like great value to be fair!

    GT3 is insane. The 964 is stunning but those costs are prohibitive for most people especially thinking the engines been out twice in 2 years. It'll be worth it though 👍

    The quoted cost to do the work on the (11 is actually very reasonable. Well worth the expenditure to keep an automotive icon on the road. Good call.

    I used to do the machining for a Porsche specialist company in the early 2000's, besides the heads having their inherent guide and rocker wear issues, a number of cranks I couldn't grind undersize, after I magnafluxed them the cracks showed up.
    The new cranks were horrendously priced.

    Great video Raj, I really enjoyed that and great to get an insight into the inner workings of the 964 Turbo. I have to say I think that the £7k or thereabouts bill from Northway sounds to me like very good value in light of the amount of work and long term benefit to the engine and you obviously know that having that work in the car’s maintenance record (Especially with Northway on the invoices!) will only add to the value of an already blue-chip car. It’s not like you’ll ever need to worry about the car depreciating!
    Look forward to the next video. Oh, and if it was me? I’d get the fan painted / coated gloss black to match the exterior.

    • @rajsangha911
      @rajsangha911  5 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching and the feedback - Northway's work is second to none (they are probably one of the best in the business) and once this work is completed the car should be better than new. Good idea on painting the fan 👍🏼

      @@rajsangha911 A few years ago I bought a 996 Turbo from Ray at Northway with a thick folder full of Northway invoices. When I came to sell the car it sold quickly and easily, helped greatly by the record of their attentions. They really are one of the best in the business.

    Not bad really.
    They’re usually worn by 100k. Valve guides and exhaust valves mainly. The lower headstuds snap due to being closer to the manifolds. More heat.
    Dilavar studs a common upgrade. As per your lower ones.
    Looks like a pretty normal top end refresh. Plus the rings obviously but still classed as a top end refresh.

    7.5k.... Is the bill... Get it done once and get it done right by northway...
    Bob in the shed in Southall can do it for 2.5k...and mess up the engine rebuild and then you are back at this garage for a bill of 10k,
    Total bill 12.5k... 7.5k is a bargain
