What the car came in for.
This 1969 Porsche 911E RSR Clone with a 2.4L engine came to us with the tell-tale signs of a tired air-cooled engine: oil consumption, uneven compression and a top end that had covered a lot of miles. The owner wanted it sorted properly, not patched, so it could be driven and enjoyed rather than nursed.
As with every engine job, we started with diagnosis. Compression and leak-down testing plus a full inspection confirmed the wear was widespread enough to justify a complete rebuild rather than a partial repair. We agreed the scope with the owner before anything came apart.

The work
Before & after.
“They took the time to explain exactly what the car needed and what could wait, then did the work properly. It came back running the way an air-cooled 911 should, and I never once felt talked into anything.”
— Owner, 1969 Porsche 911E RSR
