Engine in boxes, I'm in bits
Hi all, I have posted on here periodically, and a couple of years ago I bought my dream car out of a barn, a 1990 c2 coupe, not a mark on it. The engine was showing signs of overheating so I decided to have the engine rebuilt, 2 years later I managed after a long running dispute I have managed to get it back engine from a very very dishonest guy, who came highly recommended. The engine is now in bits, in boxes, most things seem to be there. Nothing has been labelled and I must admit to feeling very down over the whole thing.
The builder came highly recommended but has left me with an awful mess. Can anyone recommend a good builder in the UK who can work on an engine in bits (the last engine builder was in Ireland) ? Thanks Galen |

My engine is also in bits, but I'm in control as I'm rebuilding it myself. There aren't that many pieces and most are easy to identify. I'd make sure I had everything before sending it to a rebuilder. Maybe lay it out and take pics so we can see what you have.
Btw I feel for you. I was give a recommendation for an upholstery job which turned out to be a nightmare. |

First of all : Do not give up !!! Most of us we love to rebuild these engines and believe me it is not that hard to have it assembled , very few special tools are required !!!
As John said : Many engine experts here : Take photos from your parts stash and we will try to identify them for you and also to see if you miss anything. |

You can ship them over to me and I will gladly assemble for you.. but I fear shipping would be crazy dollars!

I would also contact Mike Bainbridge he has only good feedback over the forum for both engine & gearbox rebuilds...

Hi Galen, are you on Impactbumper? I just had my 3.2 rebuilt by Dave at RSRPorsche in Liphook, on the A3.
 Cheers Chris |

I know the many of the UK guys over on Rennlist highly recommend Redtek and Ninemeister:
Air-cooled Porsche 911 engine experts | Nick Fulljames - Redtek, Brackley, Northamptonshire www.ninemeister.com I have no personal experience or affiliation with either company. Good luck getting her back together! |
