They say they have a "proprietary" fix/upgrade for the IMS on the 3.4's

 

Finally, people are starting to rebuild these engines...

Bump..... anyone???

 

Charles at LN Engineering also has made a intermediate shaft replacement piece. Nicely made with a stud that will not fail like the factory one. Nice piece indeed!

 

Do you know for certain your core is rebuildable? Ask them in writing what % of their customers get their core deposit back and also to speak with a few of them as references.

 

For 6500 you wouldn't really need to give them your old engine. Sounds too good to be true

 

The core carge is an add, of you don't give them your old engine, the price is $9,000

 

The $6,5000 price assumes that you give them a rebuildable core. they were clear that if a head was cracked it wold be $500, if a cylinder was Cracked $500+, etc. I think the credti you get from Porsche when you buy a remanufactured engine is also based on a rebuildable core, but Porsche seems remiss to tell people what is wrong with the engine so how can they claim the core is not rebuidable (unless it is a IMS break, etc.). I am trying to see what experience anyone has with these guys. They said they know the people at Autostrasse.

As for LN engineering, they are working with a group called Flat6 innovations. LN does a cylinder replacement, and flat6 does a total rebuild including their IMS update. Sounds really good but the price they quoted me for a total rebuild was $14,000, plus lablr to install, etc. So they are pretty expensive, thousands more than a Porsche Remanufactured engine.

 

Dharn55 did you ever find out any good info on ufomotorsports?
