As there are variations of the Raby engine rebuild...

At the lowest level there is a "CPO" engine which has the IMS and a few other upper end reliability issues addressed but is still subject to many of the failure points in the M96. Priced lower than a Porsche sourced replacement engine but without the Porsche 2-year warranty.

Then there is a stock size engine with every failure point they know of addressed with a "better" part. This is the completely rebuilt engine with improved cylinder sleeves, rods, wrist pins, etc etc. They are slightly more powerful than stock. Priced at more than a Porsche sourced replacement engine.

And then there are upsized engines with outsized power and torque which are pretty much made to order after consultation with the buyer about what he wants to achieve. These are definitely much more costly than a Porsche-sourced engine.
