Or find one of Raby’s students and commission them to rebuild it. I did that with my 2.5 and have beat the hell out of it exclusively on track for the past four years with no issues.

I don't know how involved it is,.But F6I,.did a rebuild video on these engines for the public,But I doubt his secret's are in it and that's what you are paying for short of machine work,and part's, Etc, I made mention once that he could do very well by lowering his price and he could make it up in volume, He quickly shot that down due to what he felt was the importance of the assembly process,..sounds like he builds them with more care than Porsche does,.But, I think a great engine could be built for less..ya just gotta know how or learn how,.Hell, I scratch my head with cam timing..

That video series looks pretty neat, at $600 though it's an investment in its own right.

On the other hand, martin hill tears down and rebuilds an m96 on YouTube for the low low price of free ninety nine, and those videos are fantastic.
