Anyone looking for a roller if report is accurate???
A little out of my neighborhood for a roller.

Man, it sounds GRIM!

Tell us a little about what the situation was before it died, oil level? Before you bail, get an estimate for a replacement engine. I've done one, it is within the capability of a good shade tree mechanic. Motivation is a real consideration. Just finished mine, sort of. I've done Toyota, Ford, & Dodge engines in the past, the Porsche was a whole 'nuther country. Most difficult I've done to date, not impossible, but a lot of little puzzles.

Ah feel yer pain!
