Need help on my 996 motor
 

Hi there I Live in southern california, and was wondering if anyone could help me out on getting my 1999 996 motor rebuild. I took my car to Walters porsche in riverside and they told me i would need to buy a new complete motor at the price of over 13K.

I guess from what i am told the early 1999 996 motor had a promblem with a seal around the water cooler. and also a promblem with the borus cyclinder. either which one i have one of the promblems, what has happened is the coolant has leaked into my motor causing my either to replace the motor or having it rebuilt..

So i am in need of some help finding someone to rebuild the motor or put a used motor inside my car. i am not going to pay Porsche's crazy price.

The only perscon whom i found so far to rebuild the motor is Meister motors at the price of 7500.00

If anyone could help me out please post to this thread


thanks for everyones help

The factory rebuilt motors for the 996 are so inexpensive (!) that it doesn't make sense to have someone rebuild them. I think factory rebuilt motors go for less than $10K these days but Porsche just had a big price increase back in September so who knows.
Definately stay away from MM. I predict those guys will have a very warm afterlife...
