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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2006 911 cs2 engine gone bust. This was due to connecting rod bearing jam. Looking for either new or good reconditioned engine. Can any one help where to find such engine.

POST 2Original post

Yep. www.hartech.org 01204 302809 if you want the job done properly by the people that have done the most research & development for solutions to these engines' problems. Budget for £7-9k for the complete job at a guess. You could perhaps get a used engine fitted for £4.5k but it's not a risk I'd take personally.

POST 3Original post

Ship it off to Hartech for a full rebuild. It'll come back in better nick than when it left the factory.

POST 4Original post

Another vote for hartech. Get it rebuilt, and get it strengthened whilst you're there. My car had a rebuild there 3 years ago with strengthening and cooling modifications, and uprated IMS, etc. Must admit I'd not heard much of that failure mode before though...
