With that in mind I'm interested to hear about recent experiences people have had with having their 996 engines rebuilt (or replaced with new).

Flat6 Innovations (Jake Raby) also run M96 rebuild classes you can take online.
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.

I must be getting lazy as I'm not really that interested in rebuilding my own engine for my 996. With that in mind I'm interested to hear about recent experiences people have had with having their 996 engines rebuilt (or replaced with new). I'm interested to know who has been doing said work, cost, duration, extent of work done(full rebuild, partial, sleeved etc). I mention replacement engines because one vendor informed me that Porsche was able to provide new engines at not unreasonable (for Porsche) cost a year or two ago. I'll be looking to have this job done in Sydney.
Hi Kelly,
Previous to me purchasing my car it had a full rebuild.If your happy to PM me your mobile number I'll send pics of the receipts showing what was done and how much.
If you are thinking about overseas I reckon it's worth talking to Jake Raby

Very long wait time but he is held in very high regard on the Rennlist 996 forum
would be awesome to get one of his 3.8 or 4.0L engines! He's also the inventor of the IMS retrofit, solution & SPOFA through LN Engineering.

Although i'd be interested in hearing who offers a rebuild service to this level in Australia. @Kelly what happened to your 3.4?
Below is what's typically available in upgraded internal components:
I'm the same, just to keep it as a spare
There is a complete dismantled 3.4L that needs to be re-sleeved from D-chunk on ebay at the moment for $1500.
Good candidate for a DIY rebuild (no affiliation).
No sale but relisted at 1k if I was a Boxster owner i'd be looking into re-building and installing it:
