About LN Engineering
Founded in 2002 by Charles Navarro and Tammy Hellings in Momence, Illinois, LN Engineering has spent more than two decades carving out a singular niche: building and sourcing the most precise, reliable engine components available for Porsche and Volkswagen enthusiasts. What began as a research-and-development-focused operation quickly became the go-to resource for owners of both classic air-cooled and modern water-cooled Porsche vehicles who refuse to compromise on quality.
LN Engineering's reputation rests on a foundation of genuine engineering innovation. The brand is perhaps best known for developing solutions to the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing problem that plagued Porsche M96 and M97 engines — a challenge that led to the creation of their landmark IMS Retrofit and IMS Solution product lines. These engine bearing kits have become the gold standard fix for one of the most talked-about reliability concerns in the water-cooled Porsche community, combining precision-machined components and advanced bearing technology to give owners lasting peace of mind.
Equally celebrated are LN Engineering's Nickies cylinders and sleeves — proprietary air-cooled and water-cooled cylinder solutions manufactured in-house at their Illinois facility that allow for increased displacement, improved cooling, and superior reliability over stock components. This same obsession with materials and manufacturing extends across their entire product line, from engine oil filter adapters that replace problematic factory cartridge housings with a full-flow spin-on design, to engine coolant thermostats engineered to open at lower temperatures and maximize cooling potential — an especially important upgrade for track-driven Porsches running at sustained high loads.
LN Engineering's commitment to the oiling system doesn't stop at filtration. Their engine oil pan solutions add meaningful extra oil capacity, helping to prevent oil starvation during hard cornering — a known weakness in stock Porsche sumps. Combined with precision engine crankshaft main bearing caps designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, the LN Engineering catalog offers a comprehensive approach to engine reliability that few aftermarket brands can match.
