Rebuilding a boxster engine or 996 engine is not rocket science if you are very familiar with 911 engine rebuilding. We are one of about 4-5 companies in the US that have the ability to rebuild a 996 or boxster engine (outside of porsche themselves). A big part of this is due to the special tools that are required to rebuild one of the engines. They do not use the same tools as a traditional 911, and we spent a little over $5k on tools just to be able to rebuild the engines. Porsche dealers as far as I know do not rebuild the engines in house, they go back to Porsche for recycling.

With that being said, you will spend less just buying an boxster engine from porsche than it would cost to rebuild.
