Spun a rod bearing on a 2000 S while on the track last week. damage turned out to be rather minimal, limited to one crank journal and the single rod. Race engine builder told me crank would be repairable if Porsche sold undersized bearings, but since they don't appear to, I need a replacement crank.

So.... should I buy a used crank and rebuild motor, or should I find a used motor to drop in - both are about the same $ if I don't have to do any additional work to the used motor. My engine otherwise was in really good shape - no cylinder scoring, valves, pistons, heads all in great shape. Engine has Y in number, so it was a factory replacement engine. Odometer reads 99k, so figuring motor has between 40-60k on it. I'm leaning to rebuild since I will know everything about the motor. Anyone else out there done a rebuild with a used crank?
