My 3.4L Engine Rebuild
I'd like to share my first Porsche rebuild experience. So Long story short, I bought a 99 C2 coupe and now there is oil in my coolant. I made a few calls and visited a few dedicated Porsche repair shops. I chose 9XX Motors in Long Beach because I read good reviews on on this forum, its near my home, and Jason, the owner, is very knowledgeable.
Since I asked nicely, Jason, allowed me to take pics of the rebuild process.
The engine of my car will not be out until Monday. So I guess I'll start with the pic of the night I found the oil in my coolant reservoir.
On the way to the shop

Customer's Boxster 3.8L hybrid
More pics to come.....

Sounds like you and your Porsche will be on the road again soon. Lots of Porsches being worked on in the photo, nice to know that the shop is familiar with the brand and its inherent foibles.

Thanks everyone! I will try to document and take pics of as much of the rebuild process as possible.

If I may ask, what kind of wheels are those? They look great!

Owned it for exactly one week today, 129k miles, the rebuild will consist of new chains, water pump, ims, seals, gaskets, rings, AOS. I might be missing a few things but I will take pics of everything as the build comes along.

Jdm538 sorry to hear about your car have these issues so soon after your purchase but rest assured your car will be up and running stronger than ever here soon. Jason at 9XX Motors knows these engines very well.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Visited 9XX Motors today and saw my car on the lift getting prepared to drop the engine.
An upskirt shot
Car came with an updated oil pan.
So the previous owner's mechanic decided to break the throttle cable clip and JB quick weld it back.
