Welcome to the world of the 2.7! I'm about six months into a rebuild of a 2.7 (weekend warrior). If you don't have much experience with these motors, a lot of the conventional stuff you know about motor rebuilding doesn't apply. Find a copy of Wayne Dempsey's book "how to rebuild and modify Porsche 911 engines" and read it about a dozen times. You'll go nutz deep on the rebuild, and if you don't have the case properly prepped (case savers, etc) you'll flush several grand. The magnesium cases are notoriously soft (ask me how I know...I just pulled a stud out of the case bolting the oil pump in yesterday). For your machine work, find CGarr on the Pelican board. He did my heads and case for not much $$ and his work is top notch. I could write for days on stuff to watch out for. Spend some time on the Pelican site in the 911 engine rebuilding forum and you'll learn a ton quickly. Here's the link to my 2.7RS spec motor build.....
