My Carrera 3.2L Engine Has a Bad Misfire so it’s time to drop the engine and diagnose what is wrong with it. Always do a PPI on a vehicle to know what you are buying. I’m a sucker for a good deal, so this car came home with me anyway. Now, it’s my job to fix the engine and make it run as good as it looks. Wish me luck. Possible problems are a) broken head stud, b) bent valve, c) Worn out valve guide, or d) all the above?

Time to remove my 911 engine. Thanks for watching!
Hey Tom, the heat gun and the special pliers did the trick to get the brake booster off my car. Thanks!
It's very little extra work to remove both drive shafts completely before dropping the engine so they don't get caught on the G'box. During one of my engine drops I snagged a shaft on something and bent up the UJ shield so that the bellows don't fit.
Also those little roller tube bearing in the clutch release fork are rubish and always wear out the shaft. I fitted bronze bushes in the fork and drilled the shaft so that I can pump grease in from the bolt side to lubricate everything. Great watching your engine drop, been there a few times.
Hi Tom, great timing on this one, I'm just about to drop the engine on my 84 Targa. What is the tool you used to disconnect the brake booster line?
Nice looking 911. The 911 I’m building on my channel had 2 bad cylinders on a 8k mile motor. Turned out to be 2 bent valves and not the guilds that I thought.
Looking forward to see the next video.

Great video as always, love the detailed explanation that helps us who are learning to better understand why you're doing the things you're doing. Also, we saw a 'fan fav' TomTool get made a used today, I always like that part. New tool day! Thanks Tom.
The car looks to be very original. Amazing job getting the engine out by yourself. Can’t wait to see what is wrong with it part two.
That reminds me of removing my 1967S engine to change the clutch. And I didn't have a lift. Nasty! But I'm sure you knew what you were in for because it's pretty obvious when the car is driving on five cylinders.
You make it look easy, but I'm sure that took several hours for sure. Looking forward to part two.
I happen to own a '77 turbo and a '87 G50, getting the engine drop is a bit easier with the G50, simply for the reason of shorter shifter rod which does not intrude into the cabin. Nice videos and very informative, thanks
!
Always classy and professional sir.
g50 trans fits pre g50 cars with modification of bell housing, Patrick motorsport will do the mod as they did to mine and they also sell adapter for connecting it to the shifter than 930 clutch can be used which is much smaller than g50 one,
You almost made it look easy! How do you like the MaxJax? Looks super useful without taking up a tonne of room. With cylinder 5 a goner, it's a "full" rebuild then?
I really like the level of detail in your videos, Tom. If you were dropping the engine/trans assembly working straight through without video recording, how long do you estimate it would take you get the assembly on the dollies?
And your seats look great. Also, the under carraige looks to be in top condition…no dents, scrapes, rust holes. Solid car.
The pressure is on!!! It’s a race to get my engine ready!!!
Well here we go again….. Something to do over the Hollidays. And while you're in there?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Professor…
