356 Porsche Kit Car In the Shop For a New Performance VW Engine.

One of our local customers recently purchased this 356 Porsche Speedster, She contacted our shop because she was having some overheating and performance issues, After some quick testing we found that all four cylinders had very low compression. after a bit more looking around we found that the previous builder did not believe in cylinder heat deflectors….. So the rings were cooked and the cylinders are in pretty bad condition, I will keep you posted on the progress of this build, Looks like we are going to go with a 2 liter. Working hard to get this VW Engine back in working order.
