And though we sell our popular T-shirts all over the globe, that’s not our business. Yet all of you may be unaware that CE is also a highly-respected builder of 4-cylinder Porsche engines (unless you’re a regular reader of VW& Porsche and some other publications in which we’ve been featured). That, too, is our business. And we’ve recently celebrated our 20th year in this business ! At CE we keep several 4-cylinder Porsche Long Blocks in stock for immediate delivery. They can be purchased outright or exchange. If you desire, you can purchase your rebuilt engine, pay the core charge, then return your engine core up to 3 months later for refund. (Of course refunds are subject to CE’s inspection and acceptance of your rebuildable core.) If we ship your engine, we require $100 deposit on the special wooden packing crate. And that’s also refundable. All CE exchange engines are built to new standard specifications ! If you desire your own engine rebuilt or a modified or special engine, please allow 2-4 weeks for processing. Every CE exchange rebuilt engine includes the following NEW parts: ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
