Stuttgart/Atlanta. Porsche Classic now offers magnesium crankcases from the factory for classic 911 models built between 1968 and 1976. The reissue is for vehicles of the F and G series with 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.7 liter engines. These include the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, which turned 50 last year. Now it is possible to order the crankcases as original parts from any Porsche Classic partner or Porsche dealerships worldwide. Until now, repairs for these parts have either had to involve trying to weld minor cracks or resorting to re-using second-hand parts from old engines. The crankcase is the part of the engine in which the crankshaft moves.
“This reissue closes another gap in our range of spare parts, making it possible to build completely new engines for most classic 911 models,” says Ulrike Lutz, Director of Porsche Classic. “There’s a lot of demand from our customers for true-to-original engine components like this.” Porsche Classic is already working on replicas of crankcases for other generations of the 911.
