Re-built motor . Bummer .Been there done that 12k for an RND MOTOR 3 years and 28 thousand miles and a head cracked . Just take all your money through it in the trunk and light the thing on fire .They say a boat is a money pit .Nah a 20 year old Porsche will drive you insane parts are way to overpriced .You do everything right a a drive key for the oil pump shears and motor goes KA-BOOM..! oR IMS fails motor goes Ka-Boom.Head cracks motor goes Ka-boom.I sent the heads to Hoffman machine on the cheap small crack $1350.00 plus gaskets looking at 2k minimum .And thats me doing the work .Way to many ways for these motors to explode .This will be the 4 motor for this cars history. Original motor suffered Ims Porsche replaced motor under warranty. That motor developed low oil pressure .Replaced that motor with the RDN re-build .or Now that motor is waiting to be put back together .20k to rebuild a motor with nickies and have someone do the work.
