Jake Raby and Rennvision bring you FOCUS ON: M9X Engine Assembly for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 M96/M97 Engine Rebuilding



Jake Raby is bringing more than 30 years of his experience with Porsche engines to create this 20 part video series on how to assemble a 3 or 5 chain M9X Porsche engine. Regardless if you're a professional, DIY'r, or enthusiast, this series will teach you step-by-step how to build a M9X engine from scratch to long block form, eliminating the need for incomplete or incorrect factory service manuals and instructions. The box DVD set includes all 20 episodes.

Jake Raby is the inventor and developer of IMS Retrofit and IMS Solution. He is the founder and owner of Flat 6 Innovations, Raby Engine Development, Raby Aircooled Technology, and The Knowledge Gruppe.

FOCUS ON: M9X Engine Assembly was produced by The Knowledge Gruppe and Rennvision. The Rennvision channel is a resource of The Knowledge Gruppe. The Knowledge Gruppe offers specialized training for technicians and enthusiasts who have a desire to learn more about Porsche vehicles, and engines. Classes are based from both online and classroom environments. Online classes provide initial information to enrollees, and provide the necessary groundwork for the enrollee to progress to the classroom & lab environments, where hands on instruction is carried out. This unique method of progressing through the learning experience helps build confidence, while providing a more evenly trained group of hands- on class attendees. Follow Rennvision on Facebook and subscribe on YouTube to catch Jake's latest videos including his series on Bore Scoring.

We also recommend adding the optional FOCUS ON: M9X Engine Assembly Workbook which provides step by step M96/M97 engine assembly for 1997-2008 Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models (excluding Turbo and GT2/GT3 models). This workbooks is only sold as an accompaniment to the DVD series and is not sold separately.

Flat 6 Innovations, a division of Raby Enterprises Inc. was founded in the early 2000s to support the development and specialized repair for the Porsche M96/M97 family of engines fitted to Porsche Boxster, Cayman and 996/997 series vehicles. Flat 6 Innovations, in partnership with LN Engineering, developed the first engine program to effectively reconstruct and enhance the M97/M97 engine.
