Top end re build / Valve guides in NY / tri state area
 

I think my car 86 911 needs a top end rebuild. Its started to burn oil 1qt at 500 miles at 82k, and has a little blue smoke. Can anyone make recommendations for a re builder in the NY area who is reputable but reasonably priced.

Secondly as I understand with the work I have to get done in replacing the valve guides, I should also replace the pistons which will essentially give me a much refreshed engine. Is this correct. I'm not looking to build any thing other than a reliable stock engine.
Thanks

Get Wayne's rebuild book on this site. Pistons and cylinders are often fine but need new rings.

I did my 87 at 190 k miles for similar reasons. I don't think you need to necessarily replace pistons. I did my piston rings only and along with the valves, etc. and all is good now. Pistons don't really "wear out" normally. Bottom end was alot of bearings and a case re-seal so hope to be good for another 200k plus !

I used Verden Tool in Dover, NJ and was very satisfied. Nice guy and does it right.
