Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Could anyone recommend a relatable / honest mechanic to rebuild a motor or gear box for 912? What should I be expecting (rough ball park) for this to cost.? thanks

POST 2Original post

Quotes source post: 344924

I would use Stephen Harrison at RRR for a rebuild for anything Porker aircooled related. He is amazing, honest and very good with his work. He did work to the 356 years ago (before we bought it) and it is still great.

POST 3Original post

Engines are surprisingly expensive unfortunately, and 911/912 share the same transaxles which are costly to rebuild. I'm going to say $25K, for a fully rebuilt engine and a rebuilt transaxle.

POST 4Original post

My 912 engine rebuild 6 years ago was $10-11k, but that included the badly damaged heads being repaired from some valves beating the hell out of them...and the shop took pity on me. A friend had a quote of $25k from 'a very well known Porsche shop in Sydney' a year ago JUST for a 912 engine rebuild. It pays to shop around
