Friend of a friend...wants me to source an engine for him and do an R&R install.....not like it's hard....sounds like it would be fun and a challenge.

BTW the two salvage yards don't even want an exchange.

Sounds like they aren't worth it to rebuild.....anyone ever do one or just tear one down to see what's up?

what are new crate motors from Porsche going for? This is an automatic and basic model....any idea what the book rate for an R&R is?

Z,
Check with the local Porsche dealer...there was a factory recall issue...its worth a phone call, give them the VIN number...

If its on the list, get a new motor.

Used, check DC Automotive

Rich

tole the guy the same thing....but it may not be valid as he bought it used....
