Porsche Engine & Gearbox Rebuilds in High Wycombe
At Chelsea Carrera, we recognise that a Porsche engine or gearbox rebuild is one of the most significant decisions an owner can make. With years of specialist experience, Lawrence McGovern personally oversees every rebuild, blending engineering skill with a passion for accuracy. Whether your Porsche is air-cooled or water-cooled, built for the road or the track, Lawrence’s practical approach guarantees there are no compromises at any stage of the process.


Specialist Knowledge, Proven Approach
Lawrence has established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and a “do it once, do it properly” philosophy. From sympathetic restorations to performance-oriented builds, his focus remains on delivering reliability, quality, and durability. All rebuilds are performed using genuine Porsche parts or carefully selected uprated components where necessary. When machining is required, only trusted specialists are engaged, with the majority of work completed in-house to uphold the highest standards of quality control.
Mechanical Failures & Preventative Rebuilds
Unfortunately, mechanical failures can sometimes affect even well-maintained Porsche engines. When this happens, Lawrence will guide you through the process—helping you make the right technical decisions to achieve a cost-effective rebuild while minimising the chance of future issues. A rebuild isn’t always about repair, though. Many owners choose to refresh their engines or gearboxes to improve reliability, unlock more performance, or tailor torque and power delivery to better suit their driving style. Lawrence can advise on the best approach to meet your goals, whether that’s keeping things original or incorporating well-chosen upgrades.
