RND Porsche Engine Rebuilds for M96 and M97 engines

 

Fast Delivery, Honest Warranty, Fair Pricing on Rebuilt Porsche Engines

The mission of RND Engines is to supply the Porsche aftermarket the most updated, reliable, and absolute highest quality rebuilt Porsche engines at a fair price. RND Engines are built for the car owner passionate about their Porsche Boxster, Cayman, or 911 model and isn't looking for a quick or cheap fix. With no corners cut or details overlooked, a rebuilt M96 or M97 engine longblock from RND Engines simply offer a high-quality alternative to costly factory Porsche shortblock engines. An RND longblock engine delivers ultimate peace of mind from intermediate shaft or cylinder failures as all RND Engines are fitted with the IMS Solution as well as LN Engineering Nickies cylinder sleeves to prevent future cylinder bore scoring, d-chunk, or slipped sleeve failures. Every RND Engine is built using one of our extensive RND engine rebuild kits and in most cases, the cost for these parts alone exceed what other "engine rebuilders" are charging for their complete engines. The only way builders can charge less than RND for their rebuilt Porsche engines is by reusing parts and skipping processes that are required to correctly rebuild the M96 or M97 engine to prevent future failures.

 

Expert Installation for your Rebuilt Porsche Engine

RND Engines as well as Flat 6 Innovations rebuilt Porsche engine installations are carried out exclusively by approved IMS Solution Certified Installers only. Expert installation following our directives ensures the best possible results from your rebuilt Porsche engine from RND Engines or Flat 6 Innovations.

Installers are required to install new injectors, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, oxygen (o2) sensors, AOS, AOS vent tubes, oil fill tube, dipstick tube, knock sensors, as well as oil, fuel, and coolant caps. If the expansion tank is over 10 years old, it must also be replaced. Use of aftermarket ECU tunes, cold air intake, solid engine or transmission mounts, or single mass flywheel will void your warranty as outlined in our directives. This is required to ensure the best possible results from your RND rebuilt Porsche engine and protect it from possible damage caused by old, worn out, or damaged ancillary components. This is just a partial list of components that must be replaced and actions that must be taken during engine installation and break-in. Even if you do not purchase a rebuilt Porsche engine from RND Engines, we recommend reviewing our directives for important information regarding rebuilding, installing, and breaking-in your rebuilt Porsche engine.

 

Know your Options before Rebuilding Your Porsche Engine

All rebuilt Porsche RND Engines are equipped with Nickies™ Cylinder Sleeves and an IMS Solution. RND Engines does not offer performance engine rebuilds or bore oversizes, however our sister company, Flat 6 Innovations, offers turnkey Stage 1 and Stage 2 performance engines available for purchase on an exchange basis through LN Engineering for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 996 and 997 models.

 

LN Engineering Nickies Sleeving and Nickies Lite Direct Plating for Reconditioning of Lokasil and Alusil Porsche Engine Blocks

Although RND Engines doesn't offer performance Porsche engine rebuilds, LN Engineering does offer its Nickies sleeving and Nickies Lite Direct Plating for Lokasil and Alusil Porsche engine blocks including 1997 and later Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models with the M96/M97 and 9A1/MA1 engines. This allows for a sizeable increase in engine displacement, horsepower, and torque without sacrificing reliability or longevity. No one has more experience than LN Engineering as we were the first to offer big bore billet aluminum NSC-plated cylinder sleeves for Porsche M96 and M97 engines to the public starting in 2008 to address Porsche cylinder bore scoring, d-chunk, and slipped sleeve failures.

Once you have made the decision to rebuild and upgrade your Porsche Boxster, Cayman, or 911 996 or 997 engine, we will work directly with you (if going the DIY route) or your local Porsche shop to supply all the necessary parts and services required to properly rebuild and upgrade your Porsche M96 or M97 engine.

RND RS Roller Cylindrical Roller IMS Bearing Replacement Kits for Porsche Boxster and 911 Models


The RND RS Cylindrical Roller Bearing IMS Retrofit replaces the factory Porsche ball bearing with a premium Koyo, SKF, NSK, or FAG expanded load capacity roller bearing.

Unlike other roller bearing ims replacements that fit an oversized bearing without any positive retention like a snap ring to hold the bearing in place, the RND RS Roller IMS bearing Retrofit uses an E-rated bearing with increased load capacity that is a direct replacement for the factory single row bearing and uses original snap ring to hold the bearing in place.

Where other cylindrical roller bearing kits require external thrust control, the RND RS Roller's cylindrical roller IMS bearing has built-in thrust control, something missing from all other roller bearing IMS bearing replacement kits.

Lastly, the RND RS Roller IMS Retrofit does not require any oiling system modifications and is also available for engines with a factory dual row bearing as well.

The only tool required to install the RNS RS Cylindrical Roller Bearing IMS Retrofit is the IMS Pro Tool Kit (106-08.13).
