Hi,

here comes my next Porsche video. This time we make the Porsche tool P 233 for locking the fly wheel. You'll need it when opening the central bolt of the crankshaft.


For such a project it is the right season now! The video has a German soundtrack. but English subtitles are added to YouTube. Just press the CC-button below the video.

Enjoy it,

Jürgen

Umm....anybody ever just feed some rope down through the #1 spark plug hole?

I think it's too difficult to see what you're doing because the light isn't good under the shade tree ... : )

I've never done that and I wonder about the static load on bearings. These things take a lot of load, but normally when moving and with oil pressure.

Awesome video, thanks for your work in making it. Reminds me of my days in the machine lab in college. Fun stuff.

Sehr gut, Jurgen!

I'm curious as to your mini-mill? Sometimes the videocam picks up and amplifies certain frequencies, but it sounds like your machine is in distress?!

Hi,

the sound is normal for the machine. Of course, with a mill of this dimension you have to cut only small portions. The machine is always near the limit. Nevertheless
we made a great number of similar things with it.

Best regards,

Jürgen

I've done it countless times. And I know several professional mechanics who have done it. Can you explain the mechanism of whatever failure mode you suggest may happen? The yield strength of aluminum is in the tens of thousands of pounds per square inch. And that is in tension, not compression. Do you really think you are capable of putting that kind of load on a bearing with a breaker bar?

My wife is Schwaebisch, she says Du bist ein Kaepsele.
I've made a few DIY tools, but you would probably laugh at them.
That is just awesome!

Nicely crafted.

I made one a few years ago by squeezing a piece of angle iron in a vice and grinding down the edge a little bit. I also made slots for the starter bolts so I can lock it at exactly TDC.
