Porsche DIY novice engine swap – the first drive since replacing the bore scored engine!

Porsche DIY novice engine swap – the first drive since replacing the bore scored engine!

In the final(?) instalment of this bore scored engine swap series I finally get to take the car on its first test drive.

Although I got the engine running in the last video, there was still a lot of work to do. It wasn’t running correctly, so I had to diagnose the problem and fix it.

After putting the car back together I finally get to drive it, but how far before there are issues? Watch and find out.

I also do a couple of other jobs like install a dash cam, some wheel spacers and we go to a local car show.

Thank you so much to the sponsors in this video, whose products genuinely add value to the content which is why I have them in.

A few niggles needed a cure, but went well for you. The O2 sensors may have been a bit oiled also and that additive cleaned them up.

Great job!!!! Have ever had a boxster lock out the key fobs due to a door not being shut properly when trying to use the fob? I've got that problem and it's driving me nuts…

Such a beautiful 987 damn… Colour, additional body kit, wheels, spec is insane.

It's too bad those cars are very hard to work alone in a little garage. I had to work on convertible roof and transmission stuff, it's a lot of pain to work on. Even basic mechanics is sooo tidius. I am tracking a possible very slow power steering leak, super hard to track the source

Your content and will is inspiring! Hope I never have to go in such a difficult job, not like I could in a 15m^2 space…
