Targa80, I need to do the same to my SC sometime in near future. Incidentally, I replaced my oil-press. switch already, $14 and one hour. That was the impetus for rebuild?

I guess my question for you, (and anyone else), is what cost $7000?? I planned on doing work myself, re-using P/C's, new lower studs,(~$120), engine seal kit,($100?), carrera tensioners and new ramps, (~$400), possibly a valve job, but probably not this time around since I have 100% compression in all cylinders, (115k miles), miscellaneous other repairs, minor rebuild on 915, ($? for parts only), maybe all new SS exhaust, ($1100). But of course trans and exhaust are separate from rebuild expense.

Where does all of the money go on these 3.0 rebuilds, when all vital parts, (case, P/Cs, bottom-end, etc.) are fine??? I'm about to *****-can my SC before having carrera $$ in it w/ still SC resale.
