[Green Light 911]

Some of you replied to a previous post of mine. (can I rebuild my 911). Well everyone said to go for it and I started. I bought and read the beginning of Wayne's book. Then dropped the engine last Sunday. And then found the previous owners VERY VERY poor rebuild. Pulled exhaust. All valve guides on the drivers side of the car are split and broken off. One stuck valve for sure. Pass side guides look fine. Numerous nuts and bolts missing. Broken bolts. Missing hoses. Missing wires. An all in all crazy mess. Transmission has 1 2 and 3 syncros out.

This is where I need your advice. I found a used engine and trans from German Auto Dismantlers out of Cleveland, GA. Got a guarantee on compression and leakdown tests. Was told this will be ready to install upon delivery. Does anyone know anything about this company? They are a huge salvage business, specializing in German cars. Can they be trusted?

I know the engine I have now needs work, valve job at least. How much will a machine shop charge for a complete valve job? I hate to fix other peoples mistakes and am thinking the other engine and trans will give me the best outcome. Q- What do you think?
