Engine Failure - Help, What do I do?

[skip_168]

well, if ya need a new engine, go with a used 911 motor conversion... I hear they will fit.. I don't know for sure...

If you have oil in your coolant, then the engine is most likely dead... have them run a compression and leak down test to just make sure... the most likely culprit is a cracked cylinder sleeve... they may tell you its a head gasket, but I from my experience with the problem, no one I can find has had a head gasket go out on a M96

They told me it was a shifted cylinder sleeve actually. Sounds like the same thing to me.
