Very nice work.

For a decent skilled DIY, with access to some general tools, but nothing Porsche propriety specialty tools - how hard would it be to do IMS or even engine rebuild?

I had done engines rebuilds, but that was much smaller units or much simpler. The smallest was a 650 cc in Fiat 126p, the largest was 3.8 V6 Pontiac Bonneville.

So yeah - is it doable or one must have very special tools?
