Technic: Engine Rebuilds


For 30 years the flat 6 engine has powered all types of 911 right up to the modern 996. Whilst the engines are normally extremely tough and reliable, the performance they give means that reconditioning of the cylinder head portion of the engine is inevitable for consistant running.

The nature of the 911 engine is such that common items in the engine wear through useage. It just happens that around the 100k mile mark (with good servicing) it is a wise precaution to rebuild the engine. The rebuild is an opportunity to get hands-on and measure the health/wear of the engine. It is an intensive service but a completely normal part of 911 life and nothing to fear. It is fairly costly though so it is a good idea to bear the rebuild cost in mind when buying a 911.

Standard Vs Performance When rebuilding a 911 engine you are already comitted to a fair investment in labour alone to strip and rebuild the engine. When the engine is apart it is a perfect time to implement procedures to maximise the engine performance.9m can offer a range of performance proven options that can be put in place when your engine is being rebuilt. From port flowing & Polishing to case pinning and uprated engine hardware we can decide a specification for your engine that is guaranteed to get the maximum possible power from the engine.


Reasons to trust 9m with your rebuild:

  • Your engine will be built by our dedicated engine builder. With over 15 years engine building experience you can rest in the knowledge that your engine is being built by the same hands that would build all 9m engines from stock to £30000 race motor.

  • Knowledge. Others fit parts because it says so in the book. We design and manufacture many of our performance parts and understand intimately why parts are needed and the role they perform - only 9m can guarantee the knowledge to build your performance engine.

  • Others may automatically price every option into their engine rebuild prices. We only price the parts your engine requires, we do this by reviewing every engine and every customers requirement on a case-by-case basis.

    Contact us today to discuss your requirements before commiting to any other engine build option. We are always happy to advise on any engine build project.
