Value estimate for 964 motor, Looking to buy a 3.6 motor Options

[Cupomeat]

Guys and Ladies,

What is a fair price for a 1993 3.6l 964 based motor with harness and ECU.

The donor car had 82k miles with many of them being DE track based. I do know (not well) the previous owner, who had an incident at WG. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The engine has good leak down numbers and ran strong before the business with the blue dragon.

I was thinking $5500 but the internet sales numbers are ALL OVER THE BOARD ($4k-$8k) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) so I thought I'd raise it up here.

I appreciate the input.

The fix was new cylinders and resurfaceing the heads.

The beginging of the Porsche Technical Service Bulletin:

Group 1
Number 9404
Model 6 Cyl.
Part Identifier 1570
February 8, 1994

Subject: Refacing Cylinder Heads with Use of Tool 9526
ATTENTION: Service Manager / Service Technician

This bulletin replaces Technical Bulletin Group 1, Number 9202, Book I, pages 13-16.

Models Affected:
911 Carrera 2/4 Model Years '89 (K), '90 (L) and '91 (M) up to engine number:
62 M06836, M64.01 - Manual Transmission
62 M52757, M64.02 - Tiptronic

Concern:
Oil leakage between cylinder and cylinder head. Oil "leakage" in the case of 911 Carrera 2/4 engines means oil leaking (drops forming) from the cylinder to cylinder head mating area, resulting in oil wetness on the lower area of the cylinder head or on the exhaust heat exchangers. Due to higher operational temperatures of the Carrera 2/4 engines, some blackening (carbonizing) of oil at the lower sealing area is possible. If there is only a small discolored area on the bottom of the cylinder head without wetness, this can be considered normal and no repairs are necessary.

General Information:
When repairing oil leaks from the cylinder to cylinder head sealing area on engines prior to the above engine numbers, all cylinders and pistons should be replaced and all cylinder head sealing surfaces refaced. Cylinder head nuts are reusable.
