Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the fix and it's now on the car.

That said, it's pretty easy. I marked ~1 mm at the end of the flare nut with a sharpie and just held the end against a...

Sure, the numbers might be off due to having sat in storage all winter, but there is a possibility of a $10k plus engine rebuild being needed. These cars aren't rare enough to take that kind of risk....

The head rebuild on my 911 cost ~$1000 last year from Ollie's. It's not cheap when you get someone that knows what they're doing.

The big problem with the SC engines is the head studs. Assuming those haven't broken and basic maint has been followed, there shouldn't be a problem with getting some decent mileage out of the engine.

McMaster has Viton o-rings in pretty much every shape and size. So, you should be able to find them if you have a sample to measure.

I think I had a couple spares from my engine rebuild though. If...

Were you planning on doing a bottom end rebuild while you're in there? If so, let the machine shop handle it. It's going to be a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot less hassle for you.

I've never had a problem with using a rubber mallet. Although a dead blow hammer works just fine too.

If you mig welded them without gas, chances are there will be lots of small voids in the welds. You may not be able to see them, but they're there. This will weaken the welds. How much? I don't know....

It doesn't look like that's the case. Look at the tail and the feet of the horse in the crest. They're different than the 997 emblem.

Do yourself a favor and check the condition of the brake lines while you're in there. You have to take them off to get the trailing arm out anyways.

They'll all eventually break. $5k is just for a top end rebuild without going crazy. A full rebuild and replacing everything back to stock is quite a bit more than that.

Yeah, $25k is way high. $10k should cover more than what you'd need and assuming you're willing to do the disassembly and reassembly, it goes down from there.

Suspension and brakes are another $5k...
