The cost to rebuild a 911 engine is absolutely ridiculous relative to others. Most of the professionals will hang the badge front and center to justify the price... don't be intimidated to DIY. An engine is an engine. A Subaru has an overhead cam boxer engine; snowmobiles have Nikasil. There's nothing special that doesn't exist elsewhere but people will tell you otherwise while cupping your ass/wallet.
