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.

More and more reputable shops are taking M96 motors apart. Autofarm in England has been featured in "Total 911" magazine for their M96 rebuilds and upgrades.

Motormeister does not enjoy a good reputation.
I'd have no quams about building out a m96 motor for racing, I'd do it for way less than 7k too. Just gotta know where to go, ALL parts are available, just gotta know what size/spec you want. The only thing you need is the raw block and raw heads, gasket and seal sets, the rest is all custom( rods, pistons, rings, cams, valve train). Any good racing engine machine shop can handle the job, not tuner shops.
But, I agree for a pure street car, just get a core engine for 7k is the easiest solution. However, if you're experienced, you could easily rebuild it yourself for 1/2.
I call bull. The parts alone would probably cost more than 3.5K That is not counting any machining costs, even if you could do EVERYTHING else yourself. As far as having a racing shop rebuild the motor, I bet you will not find anyone worth having who will do it for less than 10K, and most would probably get closer to 15K or more. Having gone down the rebuild road this past winter, I can assure you that rebuild costs are like DE lap times: People always claim they are less than they really are.
BS right back at you TD, I've built many racing engines in the past, the shops I worked with were very well connected and you don't pay the porsche tax. It' s all who you know, and knowing your limitations/experience, it ain't as hard as some of you guys may think.
Good luck
Well, the only way you could possibly be right is if you can reuse basically all your old parts. If you have to replace pistons, cylinders, rods, etc . . . it all adds up very, very quickly. I don't care about starting a pissing match, because I really don't care about "winning" any "argument on the web." I honestly do not understand how you are coming to "rebuilding a 996 motor for less than 3.5K" Please list parts and prices for those parts that you use to arrive at a figure of 3.5K, which is not very much money in my book.
Also, I didn't say it is hard. I said that you are undestimating the costs of rebuilding an engine . . . unless perhaps you are talking about just "refreshing" an engine that wasn't really damaged. The tangent in this thread was started by Russ, who mentioned that he needed new sleeves so I am assuming a fair bit of damage. This is key to my assumption.
Zims is a pretty reasonably priced parts place. They don't list a rebuild kit for the 996, but the kit for the 993 is $999, which is already nearly 1/3 of your budget, and that is not everything you need . . . as you know if you have rebuilt many motors.

Again, if you need new sleeves, you probably need several more parts in addition to these, and I can see that easily going over 3.5K God forbid you need a crankshaft, cylinder, or pistons because that would really add up. In fact, I think the crankshafts alone are roughly 3K, but if you have other sources, I would love to hear about them.
And I called bull not BS.
I for one would love to know where I could get performance rebuild parts
at a reasonable price......
EDIT: I also suggest looking on Pelican for "Motormeister threads".
Thanks. That's the kind of thing I was wondering about. Certainly the factory crate is the way to go for a straightforward replacement, but I was looking ahead to the day when that might be necessary for me. If it came to pass (needing a new motor) 3.8 liters has a nice ring to it.
