Coolant pipe failure is a common issue on Porsche GT1-block engines. The factory pipes are bonded with adhesive that degrades over time, leading to leaks or sudden failure. BBI Autosport provides a permanent fix by welding in our BBI Billet Coolant Pipe Kit, made from high-quality aluminum.

Service Includes:

• Removal of factory pipe fittings and adhesive
• Ultrasonic cleaning and surface preparation
• TIG welding of the BBI Billet Coolant Pipe Kit
• Pressure testing after welding to ensure no leakage

Our billet aluminum fittings are engineered for clean, consistent welds. Unlike pinning—which still relies on aging adhesive—welding provides a true mechanical solution. Improper prep or welding without testing can result in pinhole leaks; our process eliminates that risk.

Engine Removal Option:

For local cleints, we offer full engine removal and reinstallation at our Southern California facility. Contact sales@bbiautosport.com for scheduling and quotes.

We work directly with Porsche repair shops and dealerships. Preferred pricing is available for service centers—email us to coordinate or get set up.
