Would you consider a rebuild of your engine if you had the parts? There are core parts and rebuildable engines out there for sale. What pieces do you need? You may have posted that but I forget or missed it. When I started down this path, I communicated with Charles Navarro as I had just missed their clearance sale on M96 engines. He told me they could sell me a good used crank that had been magnafluxed and polished for about $2,000 if they rebuilt my engine and it needed one. It turns out we caught my problem soon enough that the only parts (outside of all the parts typically replaced in a rebuild) I absolutely needed were a new Intermediate Shaft, IMSB and timing chain paddle on the rear of the engine.

Then after I started on the rebuild path I saw that Porsche dealer parts departments were clearing out their rebuilt M96 engines. Still pricey but a known quantity.
