Porsche 4 Cam Engine Service, Repair and RebuildingPorsche’s legendary 4-cam engine, designed in 1952 by Porsche engineer Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, was a technological tour de force and powered such ground-breaking Porsche competition vehicles as the 550 Spyder and 718 RSK. The high-output engine also made its way into the 356 Carrera road cars. The 4-cams are powerful for their size, they sound glorious and are becoming more valuable by the day due to their complexity and scarcity.
