Throughout the 964 generation Porsche used the 3.600 cc that has provided so much reliability and satisfaction to its owners.
Boxer layout engine with 6 cylinders with 2 valves per head and double ignition.
The Mezger block is the standard of design and reliability both used on the street and in competition.

Engine Rehabilitation
It is worth distinguishing two different concepts:
-Engine rebuild is when we carry out complete disassembly of all engine components, screw by screw and piece by piece for subsequent measurement, cleaning and weighing and assembly to obtain an engine with maximum compression and km 0.
-Major overhaul: here at Valentin Motors we call major overhaul the intervention process of engine and gearbox decoupling and complete systems review protocol but without disassembling the complete engine.
