Our Services
01
We find, vet, and secure air‑cooled Porsches to match your performance goals and budget. Each car gets a full inspection and essential service, correct oil changes, engine/transmission filter replacement, brake checks and pad/rotor replacement as needed, fluid top‑ups, and a safety review.
We provide multiple options with clear condition reports, service histories, recommended work, and cost estimates.
Servicing
02
Engine rebuilds for air‑cooled Porsche 356, 912, and 911 range from stock restorations to high‑performance conversions. Stock rebuilds maintain factory specs, original displacement, mild cams, and tight tolerances for period accuracy and resale. Big‑bore builds increase displacement with larger cylinders/pistons, upgraded fueling, and reinforced bottom end for more torque.
Willhoit‑style and other performance builds use custom barrels, high‑compression pistons, aggressive cams, improved breathing, stronger valve-trains, and enhanced cooling/oiling for greater loads.
Engine rebuilding
03
Receive a tailored roadmap for tuning air-cooled engines and balancing carburetors: clear maintenance schedules, recommended replacement timelines for wear items, and value-preservation strategies that keep engines running cool and efficiently.
This guidance helps you minimize downtime, avoid common tuning pitfalls, extend component life, and maximize return on your investment.
