important points:

this list is mostly for part bought at pelican parts and some parts were made by oem suppliers and some had to be Porsche specific.

Shipping and taxes not included.

Cost of oil (10 quarts at a shot) also not included. That adds up!!

If you ask a shop to buy these parts for you, they will add a charge to do the work. Nothing is free, people get paid to do work.

Shops who stand behind their work will also insist on fixing things you don’t think you need. Don’t argue with them. They have the liability of messing up and they don’t need some small part screwing up their reputation.

I took the same approach: fix stuff that could cause you to avoid issues

Hence the GT3 rod bearings. Very expensive but sourced through Porsche because the glyco bearings had a bad rap, which could cause a rod failure. Money well spent on peace of mind.

I also bought new head stud nuts and washers. Also expensive. Controls heads leakage. Rusty parts should not be used for an assembly which is probably the most common problem in aircoooled engines.

That is how I approached the rebuild.
