My first quote came in yesterday. $3600 to R&R the engine, sub-contract the TIG welding, and replace the coolant tank.
All because someone at Porsche decided to use glue on an otherwise perfect engine...Ouch.

About 3k. But factor in you'll likely be needing a new water pump too

Thanks for the response, and for the heads up on the water pump. Mine is a 2001 with 48k. I'm replacing the coolant tank while I'm at it as well.

No worries and yep that crusty coolant expansion tank is a gonner too...
