I have no doubts it's expensive (I am rebuilding a 911 motor at the moment). However I picked up a 4.8 CTT with an engine knock for next to nothing, and it seems a shame to just part it to death. I know the block would need sleeving and pistons replaced amongst all the usual pieces. Just curious what all is involved.
Unfortunately, where I am in western Canada, finding used engines is a challenge, most coming from the US and after shipping, exchange, taxes, cheap is suddenly not so cheap. Better option is just buy a whole other Cayenne (which is how I ended up with 2 of them in the first place)
