engine rebuild?
so...my cars got a spun bearing, everything else on it is nice, my question is this; since i don't have any mechanical experience w/ porsche, how much would a board member charge, labor alone to rebuild my engine? i would be planning on buying new pistons, bearings, knife edging the crank, rings, fasteners, and a small valve job w/ minor upgrades for performance all over. pm me if necessary.
thanks,
dustin

Honestly, you'd be better off buying a running motor from a wrecked car or a rebuild and dropping it in. That would get you up and running much quicker.
Best plan is to sell me the car cheap and be done with it.....
