​​​​​​I'd be charging around 2hrs of labor. I'll be honest I will only borescope if directly asked or if I find metal shavings at the bottom of the filter can or is there is evident piston slap.

Again honest speak.. some owners don't like the idea of removing the coils/plugs. I've been down this route with a 996 we had here. Seller DID not want that done but buyer did. Car will need to be the shop for a day and some dealers might not like that.

ok, so this is not really necessary in most cases

With that mileage and age..borescope and leakdown. Leakdown test at min but might as well look at the cylinders. Figure a few $$$ PPI Vs 10k+ for rebuild

Maxime911s

ok thanks really appreciate your advice

Listen to Greg and get the scope and leakdown. If there is cylinder damage then the few hundred you spend to find out will save you a ton of hassles and money - unless of course you want to do a rebuild

Scoring may never be a problem but with a Cdn car you have a higher chance - why risk it??

And $10k for a rebuild?! ****e i should have come to you!!

You can get an R&D engine for US$17k (doesnt include labour etc) and Porsche will sell you a new one for +$35k but never heard of anyone getting it done for $10k

when you remove the plugs, replace them with new (they are cheap) and then the owner gets new plugs and if you buy it you get new plugs as well.

Hi, I might find one near Toronto. Do you guys know a good place near Toronto to do a PPI?

oups59

Have you done a PPI on the one in Granby?

Sorry I was referring to a used engine replacement plus labor. You can find a decent used unit if you really really look.
