Leakdown? 20k for a reseal, case split, at a shop sounds normal to me. Figure 5k is labor, so 15k in parts. Now we're back to the 15k "evaporating" concept.
DIY will save you $ and be a fantastic learning and bonding with the car experience, but parts for these cars are not cheap. My full engine rebuild cost me nearly 20k, we me doing all the work. 20k was parts ands machine shop services. I did make upgrades, so had I done a "stock" rebuild I may have saved ~5k (delete twin plug, and cam regrind). when the engine is apart, you will measure the P&Cs. if they are not in spec, you will replace them, right? "reseal" becomes "rebuild" and add 4k to the bill. Remember that's just the engine. You still have clutch, trans, brakes, probably wheel bearings (rears are $$ to do properly), maybe some CIS parts to fix/replace. Hopefully you begin to understand how quickly a 930 with needs can vacuum money out or your wallet. You'll never have more fun emptying your wallet though, IMO
