I just had my engine completely rebuilt at RPM in Newington. Stan and Bill are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they did an excellent job with the rebuild. I would highly recommend them even though the traffic to their shop is horrible!
Here's my engine spec: 1970 911T. Headwork done by EBS to stock spec Cams reground by EBS to 'E' spec New Mahle S pistons and Cylinders Micro polished Crank Oil squirter update Completely assembled and installed with the original Zenith carbs. Car runs great and I have put about 200 miles on it so far. I chose RPM over all other local shops mostly because of their knowledge, ability to complete work in a timely manner, and recommendations from other people who I trust. Highly recommended. I can tell you some other shops to NOT go to if you want to email me privately -Dan |

Is that EBS as in Nevada? I'm going to need some head work soon.

So did RPM sub the headwork out to EBS or had it been done in a previuos rebuild? Stan has had my car before and those guys are great, right near my house too. My new 3.2 has EBS headwork and I can't wait to try her out.

David:
I would wager a guess that it is the EBS in NV. They have an outstanding reputation in the 911 commuity. FWIW.

http://www.ebsracing.com/ is their web address
I bought their rebuild set for my 3.3 turbo engine. I sent my heads and pistons out there for work. I had them bump up the compression 1/2 point, new springs and retainers, coated side skirts, yada yada. They were very highlly recommended. Biggest issue I had was shipping time out and back and their backlog. Overall I am very happy. Best

Yes EBS in Nevada. I sent the heads there myself before I went to RPM's shop. I had to change shops a couple times before I found RPM and was immediately put at ease with their knowledge.
EBS did a great job and was very timely. They also bought back my old cylinders which they originally bored when I was first going with JE pistons (which I returned too to get the Mahle set). --Dan |

Does RPM also do machine work, or have a favorite place? I've ordered cams, pistons & cylinders from EBS but there's got to be a local shop experienced in 911 head work.
