Hi all
Looking at a rebuild on our race car s2 3lt with Lindsey Racing in the USA,
The plan is to send our motor over there and get the work done by them.
I have attached some of the work to be carried out by them, and would like to know if anyone in the UK has had similar work carried out by Lindsey racing, or a firm in the UK
I have grate faith in them, however I have seen posts on this forum about re-bore problems and want to sort everything out before I send the motor over.
Also I was interested in a stroker kit for this project and got a positive answer as follows
Yes we can do a stroker on these engines. What
we do is offset grind the rods to a smaller diameter bearing and build a
custom rod. We can go up to a 92mm stroke from the stock 88, this with
a 104.5mm bore comes out to a 3.16 Litter engine.

I would keep the compression ratio around stock, in the 11:1 range. Focus
on light weight parts and more flow so as to keep the engine more reliable
work to do on motor

Medium knifedge, Cross Drill, Balance and Polish Crank
Pauter Connecting Rods - Lightweight NA rods
Clean block, glass bead aluminium engine parts
Wossner 3.0L 10.9:1 NA pistons
Bore and hone cylinder walls
Bottom End Gasket Kit
Porsche Rod Bearings
Main Bearings / Aftermarket
Counter Balance Bearings
Remove head studs - average cost
Machine block deck surface
Level I Head - 16 Valve
Machine labour to tip valve length for solids
Port and polish cylinder head
968 Intake valves
Racing valve springs - Beehive- cups and Moly retainers
Web camshaft - regrind
Solid Lifters and lash caps
16V Head Gasket Kit
Cometic head gasket
Racing timing chain
Roller belt kit
Blueprint - Balance rod and piston weights
Blueprint - File fit piston rings to cylinders
Blueprint - Tap oil galley, chase threads on all block holes
Oil galley plugs
4 into 1 944S2 header
Cam Chain Tensioner

Any impute would be grate
Thanks Dave

Lindsey racing are good. Used to get a lot of parts from them & everything worked. Dyno tested! But since the exchange rate is now what it is have you talked to JM garage? Will be cheaper for what you want. JMG are the Lindsey racing of the UK. Got a lot of good value parts from them that worked for me. :D

+1 for JMG every time. Blue printed my '44 turbo engine few years ago and was fantastic service and knowledge.
