Why An Aircooled Engine for your Porsche?


Even though many believe an aircooled engine is an outdated machine, they still have their benefits. Aircooled engines have been known to be very durable and long-lasting. Also, since they require fewer parts than the water-cooled engine, air-cooled engines are considerably lighter. Here is a list of the benefits to having a classic air-cooled engine:

  • Light weight
  • Availability of modifications
  • Oil & Air Cooled, Less chance of corrosion
  • Fast warm-up time
  • Reasonably affordable to maintain
  • Rapidly increasing value for Aircooled Porsche models

With every piece of equipment, there are disadvantages of course. While the air-cooled engine doesn’t run the risk of freezing in cold temperatures, it does run the risk of overheating. That’s why it’s important to maintain the engine and its fans to keep your engine up and running. At Trafton’s Foreign Auto, we can make sure your engine stays in peak performance shape! That’s why we’re one of the most trusted names for air-cooled Porsche repair in Portland OR!
