Initially for the rebuild I was quoted $11,000 USD (add conversion to CDN + HST) which included clutch, re-sleeving, etc. Since I'm down-grading to a 3.6L 997 and he happened to have one that he rebuilt he is willing to do for the same price but clutch change is extra. So looking at about $14,500 CDN assuming no other hidden expenses (fingers crossed).

I believe the 3.6 will bolt right in as its essentially the same engine as the 3.8. As for the software I will inquire if that needs to be modified.......good question

Some pictures of the engine they removed.........clearly VERY badly damaged.........I don't think I have ever seen such a badly damaged 997 engine

That sucker was spinning like hell when it came apart. I would clean it up and make a coffee table out of it.
The dealer diagnosed this as scored cylinders?

I know its funny, I called Pfaff to find out what the diagnosis was when the originally owner got it checked out after the engine blew. The diagnosis was "scored cylinder liners on cylinders 4, 5, & 6 and damaged pistons".........the check was done with a bore scope. Clearly someone didn't do their job well.........
You would expect better quality and craftsmanship on $150,000 car!
That would be a cool idea for a coffee table though!
