Building a Short Block for My 1967 Porsche 912 | Engine Build Begins

It’s finally time — the 912 motor is coming to life. In this video, I walk you through the process of building the short block for my 1967 Porsche 912. From case prep and crank install to torquing down the mains, we’re laying the foundation for a solid, reliable flat-four. This is the start of the full engine rebuild journey, and I’m doing it all in the garage — no shortcuts, no fluff. Just clean parts, careful assembly, and a lot of attention to detail. What’s in this episode: – Crankshaft install – Bearings and clearances – Case torque sequence – Cam timing prep Big thanks to everyone who's been following the 912 journey — more engine content coming soon as we keep piecing this motor together. 📸 Behind the scenes and daily wrenching: Instagram: @malikataya3 TikTok: @malikataya3 🎥 Subscribe for more vintage Porsche content, DIY engine builds, and garage life. #Porsche912 #EngineRebuild #ShortBlockBuild #VintagePorsche #malikataya
