Motor Meister's 911 Engines
We
at
Motor
Meister
have been committed to rebuilding Porsche 911
engines since 1976 when Lee, our head mechanic, rebuilt his first 911
engine. At that time, he worked cooperatively with some of the best
Porsche engine builders in Southern California. Having successfully raced
British sports cars since 1967, Lee's objective was to become more
competitive. In order to do so, he had to replace most of the major
components of the British engine with
racing parts.

The 911 engine was
an outgrowth of Porsche's highly successful "four cam" racing engines used
in Porsche Spiders. The 911 engine was a "clean sheet" design. It
incorporated much of the Spiders' reliability features, such as the dry
sump oiling system, overhead cam design and air cooling. The 911 engine
stayed away from the over complexities of the pure racing engine. The
final factor contributing to the successfulness of the 911 engine was the
superior execution of the manufacturing process. Never before had a
moderately priced sports car engine incorporated the finest in metals and
metal working processes available, as evidenced in the forged connecting
rods, the sodium filled valves, etc....like jewelry in their detail.
