High-quality Cr Mo graphite cylinders for Porsche engines from Albert Motorsport

dear all,


Albert Motorsport has been building stable Porsche Wasserboxer engines for over 20 years

based on stable nodular graphite cylinders and high-quality Mahle forged pistons.


Our complaint rate and damage rate has so far been: 0.00%!


In plain language:

With the more than 1,600 delivered engines, there is not a single damage!


Many of our remanufactured engines have now clocked well over 200,000km
and will run another tens of thousands more.


Should damage actually occur, our cylinders can be replaced one after the other
like in a Porsche-Mezger engine.


It is now considered a mark of quality on the market and in the Porsche scene
to have one of our Porsche engines installed.


Because our engines are solid and durable because they

are designed to last for decades and not at a cheap price!



From now on we are using even better material for our revisions:


Chrome molybdenum cylinder with flake graphite!


Why are we doing this?

We only supply our customers with the best technical solutions for Porsche engine construction and we know that
chrome-molybdenum cylinders with lamellar graphite have even better material properties than the already very good
nodular graphite of our previous cylinders!


Why is this change only now?

We are constantly optimizing our materials and components. These innovations are the result of our further developments.

We will provide you with the best technically feasible quality for the Porsche engines that we have built perfectly.


The best feasible quality means what?

What we install in your Porsche has been previously tested by us on the race track under extreme conditions!


Our cylinders have been fitted to test engines in our own racing cars and subjected to high temperaturezones that no
normal Porsche driver will ever enter.


I also spent a lot of money in an engine lab to find the optimal installation tolerances of the various to identify materials.
All expansion coefficients of our components fit perfectly in all temperature zones.


Only then did I determine the installation parameters for our CNC center. The milling work is carried out on the 1/100

mm precisely executed for us. We want you to have many friends with our technology for your Porsche over the years.


So why chrome molybdenum steel with flake graphite instead of nodular graphite?

The advantages of Cr Mo with flake graphite compared to nodular graphite are unmistakable, that's why we do it!



THE ADVANTAGES ARE THE FOLLOWING:

  • A significantly better heat dissipation
  • A significantly higher abrasion stability
  • A significantly higher pressure & tensile strength
  • A significantly higher heat stability
  • Better chemical properties
  • Better mechanical properties
  • Better running surfaces due to lamellar graphite
  • Significantly less friction during operation
  • Significantly better emergency running properties without oil
  • Advantages in the area of lower corrosion

With this innovation, we are once again increasing the longevity of our Porsche engines.

This means that we are once again increasing the gap to our competitors in terms of quality!


The new cylinders for our Porsche Wasserboxer
engines are made of chrome-molybdenum steel



Photos:Description:
A cast blank made of centrifugally cast chrome-molybdenum steel with embedded flake graphite is the best basis for the new cylinder for your Porsche Wasserboxer engine.

In centrifugal casting, the molten metal is poured into a mold that rotates around its central axis.

The liquid melt is also set in rotation by the shear forces caused by friction and pressed against the inside of the mold wall by centrifugal force.

The calculated speed generates high centrifugal forces under which the liquid melt solidifies. This creates a perfect metal structure with a very high degree of purity.


In addition to the high strength of the later cylinder material, the carbon (graphite) is deposited on the inside of the melt in the form of lamellae and thus ensures optimum emergency running properties for the Albert Motorsport Porsche engines.
The blanks are cut to size with a saw and then provided with a rotary flange, on which the cylinders are later clamped in lathes and processed according to our specifications.




The flanks of the future cylinders have already been roughly adjusted to the later installation dimensions, the rotary flanges and the later sealing surface are now clearly visible.


Here the compression space is pre-processed from the outside and brought to the necessary external dimensions for later fine-tuning.
Here the cylinders are machined from the inside and the flake graphite layer is exposed for later processing during honing. This layer of flake graphite gives the pistons a perfect running surface, which prevents the pistons from seizing even if there is a brief lack of oil.


In addition, graphite is more temperature-stable than engine oil, which creates even more safety and better emergency running properties.
Here we can see how the lateral guides are fine-tuned. With this finely ground surface, the cylinder is later glued to the engine block with high strength but still be able to be removed.


This sticking will happen with only a marginal clearance. In this way we realize the heat dissipation through the oil and the water, and also through the direct contact with the aluminum block.
The anti-twist devices on the sides are milled here.
This is 100% sure that the cylinders cannot rotate in the block.

We are convinced, our decades of experience shows that there is nothing better for the repair of Porsche Wasserboxer engines than massive, thick-walled, complete cylinders made of chrome-molybdenum steel with lamellar graphite, free-standing in water and oil.

The customer had engine damage to complain about, but thanks to the increase in displacement and the resulting increase in performance, he (almost) forgot the pain of the costs.
The side-by-side cylinders with increased capacity clearly show the hollowed surfaces between the cylinders, which allow the cooling water to circulate better and thus ensure optimal cooling even under maximum load.
An engine block that we have converted for your Porsche Wasserboxer offers the ideal exchange solution for many of our partner workshops.

This has meanwhile also gotten through to Porsche centers, which have recently increasingly accepted our service and are thus able to supply their customers optimally and more cheaply.



We know that we are not one of the cheapest providers in terms of costs.


20% of all our engine orders are due to complaints, complaints and botched
engines from low-cost suppliers.


Do not take any risks!

Don't let the butcher fix your car's heart!


Trust in the competence of our master surgeons, who will repair your Porsche
optimally, as if it were your own heart.


I'm happy to answer questions!


Best regards
