Who is **building** 986/987 engines?
 

Does anyone have a shop that they *know* is building these engines? Most of the old school air cooled guy's are staying away from them. I'm trying to gauge interest in several engine combinations.

Thoughts?

The engines are VERY simple compared to their air cooled brothers.

try Mark at Hergesheimer Motorsports

They don't build the motors but I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

I know them well. They were trying to get Web Cam to duplicate some cams from 9FF for the 996/986 engines (I was looking for the specs also.. which is how I found out they were chatting with Web Cam)

Porsche just released hard parts for the engines back in Nov. or so.

Webcams suck. We have tried to have them make cams for different applications and they always wear quickly or have other problems. They are alwasy built WAY off center so you need adjustable cam gears just to get them to 0 where they should be. Most of them were 15-25* off centerline. What a disaster...

I hear you. I'm speaking with Crower as of today. I'm open to other companies/thoughts however. I have a set of brand new 996 X50 cams I want to have measured/mapped (actually have the complete engine, but the cams have the info I need.
