Cylinder Heads

RND cylinder heads benefit from years of experience with thousands of Porsche heads rebuilt by our specialists to date. 100% of components are tested, reconditioned, or replaced and feature multi-angle Serdi valve job, Viton seals, and critical surfaces are diamond milled, exceeding original manufacturer specifications. All components are inspected and replaced if worn. RND will never use any cylinder head that has required crack repair.


Cylinder Sleeves

RND Engines are never just re-ringed or have single cylinder repairs as most engines are not suitable for rebuilding without re-sleeving. RND Engines exclusively use LN Engineering’s proven aluminum NSC-plated Nickies sleeves which exceed the strength and longevity of the original cylinders. Steel or cast iron sleeves are not utilized in our rebuild process due to performance and longevity issues with these inferior sleeves. Select engine designations can receive Nickies Lite direct plating process at a substantial discount.


Connecting Rods

RND Engine feature factory con rods rebuilt using ARP rod bolts, addressing common rod bolts failures.


Crankshaft and Bearings

RND Engines use only NEW or OE used cranks from engines that have not suffered any failure and meet strict RND standards. RND cranks are not cut to use undersize bearings that weaken the crankshaft. Crankshafts that are worn or have been subjected to a rod or main bearing failure are never used. RND Engines only use Genuine Porsche bearings. All crankshafts are magnaflux crack checked and journals polished.


The Original IMS Solution

All engines are fitted with IMS Solution – the industry’s only permanent IMS fix – to prevent future IMS bearing failure. You'll never have to worry about your Porsche's intermediate shaft bearing ever again!


Intermediate Shaft

LN Engineering rigorously inspects all intermediate shafts to verify runout , and the main IMS sprocket is pinned to prevent slippage of the IMS gear.


Warranty Information

All RND Engines come with a one year / 12,000 mile limited warranty, whichever comes first. Customers must adhere to the RND Engine directives which must be followed explicitly for the installation, break-in, use, and vehicle maintenance; not doing so will void any warranty, express or implied.

The warranty covers all new internally lubricated components within the engine supplied by RND Engines. The warranty does not cover cylinder/liner failures on engines with Nickies Lite direct cylinder plating or any repair costs due to a cylinder related failure on engines not fitted with Nickies cylinder sleeves. The warranty does not cover incidental or consequential damages including, but not limited to, those caused by faulty sensors, emissions components, or any defective external engine components. There is no warranty for engines that have been abused or neglected, including, but not limited to, having been overheated, over-revved, run without oil or coolant, or involved in an vehicle accident or fire. Additionally, there is no warranty for engines that see track service which is defined as any activity that is not carried out on a public street including competitive racing, DE, AX, time trials, or anything other than normal street driving.

All warranty work must be carried out at RND Engines or an IMS Solution/Flat 6 Innovations Certified Installer and will require the engine be returned or vehicle shipped to RND Engines or IMS Solution/Flat 6 Innovations Certified Installer for warranty evaluation. Warranty does not cover costs for labor time, parts, or consumables for diagnostics, engine removal, and engine reinstallation. Shipping of the engine longblock and/or vehicle transport charges are the responsibility of the customer. Any costs above and beyond the repair of the longblock are 100% the responsibility of the customer and are not included in the limited warranty for workmanship of the engine longblock provided by RND Engines. Repairs under warranty are the responsibility of the customer and will be billed out at the current labor rate (contact us for rate information) and parts/consumables at current MSRP.

Warranty begins from day of shipping and is non-transferable. Authorized repairs carried out under warranty are covered by the original warranty up to one year from original engine longblock ship date.


Performance Engine Options

LN Engineering does not currently offer any performance engine options or upgrades through the RND Engine program outside of our Nickies cylinder sleeving, IMS Solution intermediate shaft bearing, and ARP connecting rod bolts, all of which address and correct the major deficiencies with the M96/M97 engine. All RND Engines are stock replacements are intended for street use only.

If you are interested in increasing your Porsche engine's displacement and output, LN Engineering does offer its Nickies Porsche engine block sleeving including performance and reliability upgrades for the track for individuals and shops that are interested and capable of carrying out the engine rebuild for their Boxster, Cayman, or 911 vehicle.

LN Engineering also offers Stage II Street & Track Performer engines from Flat 6 Innovations. These Flat 6 Innovations engines will be available on exchange, however there is a very long wait list. If you would like to be added to the wait list, you'll need to open a support ticket on the Flat 6 Innovations website. You will be notified when an engine becomes available for purchase.
