911 engine rebuilding costs are highly dependent on which engine you're rebuilding, and what's wrong with it. Take my engine: 2.2T, mag case, suffered water intrusion before I bought the car. But the engine itself had reasonable miles. So, after checking everything, it turns out that the case is straight (due to low stress T spec), the p/c's are good, and all of the rod and main journals are perfect. Everything in the engine is within spec, so I'm just going to get new rings, put in new valve guides since I'm there, and put it back together. Hopefully some of the oil leaks that it had when it was running will be cured as well. This is the best case senario. Then again, if you get a well beat 2.7 with Alusil jugs, a lot of machine work has to be done on the case to straighten it out, and then you have to get a new set of pistons and cylinders regardless. Not to mention rebuilding the heads and all of the other usual stuff. All of that work gets pricey. If you have a shop area, are patient, buy Wayne's book (it really is good), and have some mechanical ability, you should be able to rebuild a 911 engine. Do you change your own oil and maintain you vehicles?
