Rebuilder in New York City area?

Just bought a '99 Carrera w/ 28K miles. My intro to Porsche ownership hasn't been smooth, but I love the car so I'm determined to whip it into shape.

Bottom line, there's milkshake in the coolant reservoir, and I have to top up the oil every day. My mechanic (whom I trust) flushed the thing out a zillion times, but the problem hasn't gone away. He says the engine is shot and needs to be rebuilt by a Porsche specialist. Asking around turns up the notion that it's either a cracked head, cracked cylinder, or slipped cylinder.

So I need a good rebuilder in the NYC area. Actually I'll go anywhere between Boston and DC, but would prefer to stick close to home. My impression is there are a lot of sharks out there, so I'd love to get people's input about shops they have experience w/ and trust.
