The ‘art & science’ of running a business is a good thread for OT.
I was just discussing the technical competence of a business necessary for the OP to achieve his goal.
There have been some stories of supposed ‘professionals’ shipping incomplete, unfinished engines for the owner to complete, install and tune.
As you might expect, the results are usually less than satisfactory.

As I said above, “…warranty-at-a-distance is difficult.” at best.

Who wants to have their 911 engine ‘rebuilt’ by someone far, far away who gives a discount for ‘no warranty’ and ships you back your engine untested?

Not me.

There are some VERY GOOD builders (some on this Forum) who I would trust to build an engine with the highest level of competency, ship back a ‘finished product’ and stand behind it.


Best,
Grady
