you never mentioned the mileage on this engine, but if you have chain rattle, I will assume you are approaching 100K. IMHO, and Hoffman might agree, simply fixing the cracked head and having the heads rebuilt still leaves you with an engine prone to failure. Hoffman discouraged me from just fixing the heads.
i wrestled with the decision on my 2000 S with intermix and just replaced the car. Painful but I ended up with a better car and never looked back. I got a little money out of the old one as well.
I think once I started driving my first 986S, i wasn't going to give it up.
