sleazius Posted 5September, 2023 Report Share Posted 5September, 2023 That is a fair old whack. Parts prices are off the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or who are they getting to Nikasil them? And is this a service they would offer by itself as opposed to having the entire motor rebuilt? tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies I missed a critical word IMS bearing issue delete - yes LN engineering IMS solution (which adds around $4.5k) Unfortunately they are iron liners, that are lipped to avoid slipping. They were machined and installed locally. Due to the poor exchange rate it wasn't feasible to send to hartech or Flat 6 etc. JWM, tomo and 911CSR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the aircooled engines all have intermediate shafts as well. They are just internal and oiled, rather than having the sealed bearings of the 996. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there is another gent on this forum who just sent his engine off. Im sure if you do a search you'll find it. (unless its been deleted)...There arent too many people that have done it. Cannot remember if it was LN or Hartech but pretty certain he is very happy wtih the outcome. edit; here it is Edited 7September, 2023 by Mike D'Silva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is still running okay, but thinking this is a 16 year old car, I have to prepare for it at some point. The price increase is based on a few factors, biggest issue is our dollar is in the toilet and parts are becoming more 'sought after' as the cars age. Annoyingly the quote I was originally given was 30-35 grand 18 months ago. Then by the time I dropped it off in January the price had gone up as much as the dollar had come down unfortunately. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I know, I did a water pump, engine mount and coolant tank replacement recently, the bill already scared me. As I want to keep the car for as long as i can (I own the car for over 6 years already), i started doing some research on what next will fail. And the engine rebuild seems the biggest one (and i regret didnt change the AOS in my last repair now!) tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911CSR Posted 8September, 2023 Report Share Posted 8September, 2023 I've got the VF Engineering supercharger kit waiting to go on mine. Deciding if I do it now or wait till after I rebuild the original engine. There is also an option for a more modern 911 engine but the work to get it fully intergrated is fairly daunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
