Default Engine Re-build Opinions and Options

In the market for an engine rebuild - 2009 997.1 CUP, currently producing 420HP at the wheel. Motor runs very strong and shows no signs of failure. Still though it is time. We did a lot of testing in January and February anticipating a rebuild in this window of time.

Seeking YOUR opinions and recommendations about the choices which include;

PMNA

Autometrics

BBI

Others

Please feel free to contact me via messenger or at john@mauromotorsport.com. Decision will be made this week and the rebuild must be complete on/before May 8th.

As we know this is not an inexpensive under doing. Thanks to all who provide insight.

Have you done a leak down, compression check and had the oil analyzed?

Not sure of the hours on your engine but, I was at the track this weekend with a 997.1 Cup owner that has well into the 100+ hour range and the engine shows no signs of being tired according to his oil analysis and compression and leak down tests. I realize the maintenance on our cars should be preemptive and checking the previously mentioned items is not a substitute for an engine teardown and inspection.

Thank you all, I had a strong lean in a specific direction and this thread only confirmed my choice. It's always nice to be certain.
