| 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. |
