There was no such thing as a kit, not aware of anything today either. That rebuild was in 2008.
Since antifreeze is corrosive to bearing materials -- I stripped it to the crank and rebuilt EVERYTHING.
Spent thousands of $$ at Sunset Porsche buying all the individual parts.
It's not financially worth rebuilding it like I did.
You could just pull the valve covers and inspect to see if the freeze plug or a crack in the heads exist and just fix that -- but that's not
how we did things. I believe if it's worth doing, its worth doing to the point you never see that engine again for just about anything.
We did many full rebuilds, folks just stopped willing to pay the $9-10K it took to
do so, and we phased this out of our business probably 5 years ago.
I moved onto racing and my buddy still works on all other aspects of the 9*6 and other Porsches.
