Does the car have maintenance records? Look for what other work has been done. Valve guides at a qualified repair shop will set you back $4-5K. Definately do not use a mechanic that doesn't specialize in Porsche air-cooled. DIY is doable but you would probably need help as a newbee. You may want to post your location and see if there are other pelicans that are near by. Also, look up your local PCA chapter and see if there are folks there that would be willing to assist. If nothing else, they can tell you what mechanics to go to or stay away from.
