I just got a email from Len Hoffman today. He is focused on producing new Heads, not rebuilding used ones anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

another problem that greatly influences cost on our beloved 914 is that 35+ yr old 914s have other hidden issues that only surface once you "crack that nut". just like what Jake was talking about with the used head castings. you have to get ALL-IN before you really know what needs fixin. its hard for me to plan shop loading and forecast completion dates. one car was suposed to leave a week ago untill we found more issues that need help. Hell, I cant even put it back together as is... even if I would do such a thing. there is alot of non billable time that goes into solving these problems. alot of phone calls, explaining to customers, time invested to solve things and find solutions. when a Boxter comes in, I just pick up the phone and order parts, install them and out she goes. I struggle with the same thoughts that drove Len to change his policies. these cars are more troublesome, require more hand holding, explaining and teh profit is way less than the modern cars. I cant remember the last time a 911, 993, 996 owner asked me...but can you do it cheaper?
