for my copper car doing the Challenge I might as well do the 2056 since it needs a refresh and the mechanic suggested just doing the whole thing, it has 150k miles on original build. only have small oil drip, but I had to re-shim the shaft when I did the RMS and clutch last year, so this should be renewed and I am burning thru a lot of oil just ask the guys driving behind me at Octeenerfest!
who to use and what to get for parts - my builder will be George at Bob Woodman's here in beaufort. Both have rebuild many 911 /6 and many 356 motors , a few 914's as well. what to do to heads? which P&C's? etc etc. he wants to split case and send to align bore etc, so new cam? Raby 9550 with d-jet?? budget build but not cheap. I want it to be last time its done as long as I own it. Phil |

I think Jake said it best when he stated something along the line that his engines are turn key and basically a one stop shop. (Horribly rephrased). Meaning that you have to collaborate a bunch of resources to build your own engine, but he can build you an engine for a much more convenient fee of only money not time and resources needed to build an engine. I only understood this after completing my 2316cc engine though trial and error, purchase and return and ending up in the same ball park as his list price for the same engine. I'm not trying to discourage you from building your own engine, but just trying to give Jake his credit due. Since Jake has gracefully posted, commented, and corrected internet forums I was able to build my engine using his years of life experience to build my engine.
