Schrick

Schrick for Porsche

For more than five decades now, the name SCHRICK has stood for high performance components available in the motor sport, tuning and vehicle refinement areas. Schrick offers its Porsche customers not only the development of total-motor systems, the largest range of high performance camshafts and valve drive components in the highest quality

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Schrick is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to choose Schrick for Porsche include supporting engine builds that need improved top-end breathing, shifting the powerband for track or fast-road use, and matching camshafts to upgraded intake, exhaust, and ECU calibration.
• Common symptoms that lead to camshaft or valvetrain changes include rough idle, flat spots in the rev range, valvetrain noise, and poor drivability if cams are mismatched to compression, fuelling, or ECU mapping.
• Before committing to major internal work such as a rebuild, use compression and leak-down tests, bore inspection, oil analysis, and careful diagnosis of ancillary systems to confirm the root cause.
• Plan the whole package around Schrick camshafts: ensure correct tuning, check lubrication and oil quality, and have the cams accurately degreed during assembly for reliable results.
• When fitting new cams, it is often recommended to renew followers/rockers and other wear components to avoid accelerated wear on fresh cam surfaces.
• Camshaft wear in Porsche engines is commonly linked to poor lubrication, contaminated oil, or prolonged high-load use, so regular oil changes and correct grade selection are important preventative steps.

Engine Rebuild Parts — Engine rebuild parts relate to the internal components and hardware renewed during a Porsche engine overhaul, from bearings and gaskets to timing chains, fasteners, and associated items. They are typically chosen when wear, low compression, or internal damage is confirmed and the engine is stripped for inspection and rebuilding.

• Before deciding on a full rebuild, carry out compression and leak-down tests, inspect bores with a scope, and check the oil/filter for metallic debris.
• While the engine is apart, many specialists replace chains, guides, tensioners, seals, bearings, and hard-to-access gaskets to minimise the chance of another strip-down.

Camshaft covers / Gaskets — Camshaft covers and gaskets on Porsche engines are mainly replaced to cure oil leaks from the top end, especially on older or heavily heat-cycled engines. Addressing leaks here helps keep the engine bay clean, protects ignition components from oil contamination, and reduces smells from oil reaching hot exhaust parts.

• If you find oil leaks around the cam cover area, simply tightening fixings is rarely a lasting cure and over-tightening can warp covers; correct replacement and torque procedures are the preferred approach.
• It is good practice to check the breather or PCV system and crankcase ventilation, as excessive internal pressure can worsen cam cover gasket leaks.

Camshafts — Camshafts are a key focus for Schrick on Porsche engines, influencing valve timing and the overall power characteristics of the engine. They are replaced either when wear such as scoring, pitting, or lobe damage is identified, or when owners are upgrading for different performance characteristics with supporting modifications.

• When installing new or higher-performance camshafts, consider renewing followers or rockers and related valvetrain components to ensure correct bedding-in and longevity.
• Changes in cam profile can alter idle quality and low-RPM behaviour, so it is important to factor in ECU calibration and overall drivability when planning upgrades.
