Be ready for $15k if the mechanic has to do this top end for you.
If you have the inclination and patience , do it your self.

$15K Is this true........... I was told $2000 for labor on a top end re-build. I hope the parts for a top end re-build don't cost $13K. I'll have to do some research on this. $15K maybe @ the Local Porsche dealership......

You Sir have some good info.

I just could not take seeing this car sit anymore. so I bought her of my dad.
He is now finished with his 1100 HP twin turbo 04 Cobra. I would love to race him after I get the turbo out of the shop. I think the only way I would have a chance is with the AWD of the C-4 against his over powered V8.

You really have to wait to see what damage has occured before you can get a plan to move forward. I'm sure you'll have several options to consider when fixing it. Is this by any chance black?

15 k is way high for a top end rebuild .
15 K is way way high if you only need to fix up one cylinder .
I guess from a million miles away , you need one cylinder fixed up .
I guess that all 5 of the others are ok .
I guess that you will buy another used cylinder head and or one cylinder .
Haveing one cylinder go bad does not mean that the others need repair .

I'll keep the thread alive with updates..........

I could tell you about it , or you could read whats already been written up on the blackstone site .
What I will say is that it is a very cheap test to have done and the info in hand after, priceless .
Before you let them take anything apart , I strongly advise you get the leakdown tests done and the oil test done . This motor is freaking expensive , getting all the info from some cheap easy tests can save you some really big dollars .

If the engine is a Turbo engine and you have hissing after running the car on boost, it is more than likely there is significant damage to one or more cylinders.
