My experience was similar...
'92 964 with 139k miles. Very low oil use, but a bit of a rough idle. Leak down showed 2 cyl. leaking thru exhaust valves. On teardown, evident that motor had never been apart so definitely time for top end and reseal. Original estimate was $10k but adding in new clutch, flywheel, rebuild shift bushings, suspension bushings, motor sound matt etc and the out the door price was about $18k. Now ready for another 100k miles!!
Transformed the car and well worth the cost!

Yes! Sell it to me! I need a 964 donor for a Singer build and the top end doesn't matter to them.
