Cost to rebuild 993TT top end?
Does anyone have any experience on what it typically cost to pay someone to rebuild the 993TT top end? That includes disassembly, all 6 heads, new valve guides, new valves, all machine work and re-assembly?
I assume the machine work would be done by Ollie's (now in AZ) They say that's about $700.

Thanks for the info. I'm seeing costs around that or a few thousand less by the dealer with a 2-year parts and labor unlimited mileage warranty.

Thanks guys. The exhaust valve in one of my cylinders wasn't sealing right and was causing a slight loss of power and miss-fire codes. The compression and leakdown test caught it. Since the car has about 60K miles, I decided to just rebuild all the heads with Porsche seals and Ollie's valve guides and reseal the case.

On the air cooled cars, each cylinder has an individual head, and the cam towers (of which there are two that each span 3 cylinders) bolt to the top of them.
The air cooled cars need as much airflow throughout the cylinders and heads as they can get.

All 6 exhaust valves and valve seats were "hammered" according to Ollie's. It's probably a result of the higher HP, exhaust heat and higher redline (7200) from the Ruf Turbo R. I drove my car hard for 40K+ miles over 8 years with the Ruf Turbo R update (60K on the car now) with full acceleration to 7,200 rpm thousands of times. The intake valves and seats were undamaged. No piston or cylinder damage. Not too bad I suppose for the amount of enjoyment I had.
