So, I have no idea what a raby class is. Maybe cuz I'm new to Porsche? But, I have done many true "blueprint" rebuilds of motors over the years. I'm not concerned about "complicated measurements", or the "difficult fitting" of parts.
I am sure there is an expensive curve on specialty tools. How many can there really be for which I can't find a workaround? I don't know. I would have to investigate. Why don't we have a rental pool on this forum?

But seriously, $8,500 for a motor to go in a car that I can replace for $7,000? Does that add up in your mind?

No, mine either.
