M97.01 3.8L Porsche 911 997 Engine Rebuild Kit (Standard or Deluxe)
$5,880.00
Our extensive engine rebuild kits for 2005-2008 Porsche 911 997 models with the 3.8 liter M97.01 engine include hardware, bearings, seals, gaskets, and much more using only the highest quality Genuine Porsche, OEM, or aftermarket components from manufacturers like ARP and LN Engineering.
The optional upgrade to our premium kit also includes many more items that are often reused rather than replaced during rebuilds and are highly recommended. Please check each product description for a complete list of what is included with the standard as well as the premium engine rebuild kits.
When choosing the Deluxe option, we upgrade the kit to include Billet Tensioner Paddle, CP-Carrillo Connecting Rods, and Chromoly Oil Pump Drive recommended for all cars that might see track use.
Components that are normally reused and not included in these kits should be evaluated, qualified, and replaced if necessary. RND Engine Rebuild Kits do not include new pistons, rings, pins, or clips and are designed as a supplement to our block repair process. The Nickies cylinder sleeving service (or Nickies-Lite direct plating) and matching piston set is sold separately. IMS bearing is also not included and is sold separately.
Photos shown are representative of what may be included in an engine kit and will vary by engine designation and options selected.
If you are planning on rebuilding the 3.8 liter Porsche 911 997 engine in your 05-08 Carrera S, 06-08 Carrera 4S, or 07-08 Targa 4S, we recommend calling LN Engineering to discuss your Porsche engine rebuild and upgrade options including our Nickies sleeving and intermediate shaft reconditioning services.
