Yes, he could probably buy a k/o kit from Alibaba but it's resale value would be questionable.
The links to one rather non-tech U.K. Porsche site made dismal reading. Lots of snippy commentary,little technical content. Did not seem to be a group that did their own mechanical work or read beyond their own group. Piston Heads is more tech oriented?

I stopped reading when the suspect engine didn't have much on the magnetic drain plug before doing the IMS, which would imply the sump was not dropped and a proper pre qualification completed. If I had a nickel for every blown engine that was initially blamed on the IMS and later confirmed to have been from another fault, I could retire early............

Worse is an engine when they replace the IMSB ,discover other problems in that process, slap it together w/o addressing any other problem and flip the car.
I bought one !
The only reason I commented earlier was to alert noobs not to follow the 'advice' given when it contradicts expert(not me) experience.
