Flat 6 Innovations Engine Rebuild School Has Seats Available For November!

We have decided to add a mixed Enthusiast/ professional class to the 2017 Hands On Training Schedule. This M96 102 "Hands- On" Engine Rebuild School is coming up Nov 1-4, 2017. THIS HANDS ON CLASS HAS SEATS REMAINING To achieve this, an additional "M96 101" preparatory online class is scheduled for September 25 & 27, 2017. Anyone wishing to attend the Hands- On class must first attend this "101 online class", so we decided to host this second "101" online class in 2017 due to crazy demand. This will help guys be qualified for the November 2017 class, or the 2018 Hands On Class (Date TBD), and get their online education now. Some people never care about the 102 Hands On Class, they just want to attend the online class, hence the crazy demand for this class. This is the main reason why we added this additional class, in 2017. The material is the same that we offer to the professionals that attend classes, but it is broken down more into lay terms for the person who doesn't twist wrenches everyday. All attendees in this class are DIY types, or technicians that have little to no experience with Porsche M96/ M97 engines, so we've learned they are best classified as novice Enthusiasts. This class is instructed by Tony Callas, and I. Charles Navarro of LN Engineering may be in attendance as well, and if so, he will be instructing the cylinder and IMS Bearing portions of the class. This is the same material that we instruct in PRO level classes! The difference is we take more time with some aspects of the assembly that enthusiasts will benefit from. We have broken up enthusiast classes from pro classes, because Pros don't like enthusiasts in classes, and enthusiasts don't like pros in classes. The pro feels the simple material is beneath them, and the enthusiast feels left behind because we use pro terms, and etc. Breaking classes down the way that we have eliminates these issues, making for a better experience for all attendees. Here's a couple of recent Rennlist threads that were started by members that attended prior enthusiast level classes. See their reviews and tons of photos, here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...***-102-a.html https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ast-class.html Here is a bit about the "two stage" curriculum of this class: All attendees will first complete two online "101" class sessions. These are preparatory classes for those attending the Hands- On class, and they are required. This allows us to cover more material in the hands- on class, and spend more time in the shop, than the classroom. This online only class is the pre-requisite for all individuals who wish to attend the M96/97 (hands-on) Engine Rebuild School. In this class Jake Raby and Tony Callas provide the basic information necessary to understand the shortcomings of Porsche’s most misunderstood engine. The team of Raby and Callas bring their unique experiences to the class, with Callas instructing the external points of the engine, and Raby focusing on the internals. In this class you’ll be able to attend from the comfort of your own home, while you receive 8 hours of instruction on the topics of: -Meet the M96/97- Engine configuration layout and subsystems illustrated -Basic M96/97 Engine Management, fuel trim, system resets and etc -Cooling system design and function -Oil System design and function explained -Cracked Cylinder Heads, causes and effects -All about scheduled service -Engine Failure Illustrated-*The truth about on- track failures -G force oil starvation, and other myths are busted! -Meet the IMS Bearing, and understand its 4 Stages of failure -The IMS Retrofit Procedure, step by step For more details, or to sign up for the pre-requisite ""101" online class, click here: http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/index.php/product/m96-technician-engine-rebuild-class-101/ For details on the Hands- On Class, click here: http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/in...ild-class-102/ Class fliers are attached.

Not yet. I may not do many classes next year. Its time for a break.

Keep us posted please.

This guy is one of the top "wrenches"/technicians in the business. Google Reiser Callas Racing you'll get an idea of Tony's background. His shop has established a reputation for 100 point restorations of classic Porsche cars. You never know what you'll see on the lift when you visit. Tony is known for doing the most comprehensive PPIs in the business. You have a PPI done at Callas Rennsport, you'll know all you need to know about the car you are considering. I had my car into his shop once, Callas Rennsport, what an incredible experience. I'd be a "regular" were it not for the distance factor with me living 5+ hours away. Back in the day, if Tony had the time, he's been known to take the customer on a demo ride once the work was completed. I experienced one of these rides...memorable is all I'll say. Tony made my car "dance" on the street. He used to do a 993 one day introduction class I was lucky enough to take. A real eye opener. If you are on the fence on this class, take it. Not having a 996 motor in my 6GT3, I will have to pass.

I would love this opportunity but it comes at the wrong time for me unfortunately. I'd like to add that I had the opportunity to meet Jake and pick up my car at his training facility. Jake is a total class act. The knowledge this man has on these motors is incredible, his training facility is very impressive and the opportunity to pick his brain and study under him - in person - for a few days would be priceless. It's becoming more rare now-a-days for someone in his position to be willing to share their knowledge. I hope to catch one of these in the future before they go the wayside to make room for the DFI motor class...
