I hope you get a good engine. I've been following your threads as my own 2003 S engine failed in July after I drove up to Mt. Tremblant from NJ and before I got on the track! I struggled with what to do with my own car for a while. I finally decided to have my shop rebuild the engine, and the case was sent out to LN for 3.6 Nickies. LN has completed the machining but its now in line at the platers for the new liners to be plated so that LN can do the final polishing and precision finishing. Once the case comes back from LN it shouldn't take too long, but the wait has been hell!

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.
