3.4 engine rebuild northeast

[shamrock99]

I have a 1999 911 carrera 4 that I pretty much lunched the engine, hit a tire on the highway and it ripped a hole in my oil filter canister. So I was just talking to tonythetarga on here and he has a good core to rebuild and want to weigh my options here on weather to rebuild or bail out of it, anybody have any idea what the cost would be to rebuild?

Since the 99-2001 3.4 have the thinnest cylinder walls of any Porsche engine they are highly prone to irregular cylinder wear thereby necessitating LNengineering.com billet cyl. sleeve installation for a quality rebuild. The good news is the process yields 3.6 litres & adds 40ft/lbs torque which is exactly what a AWD 996 needs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/boxster-cayman-forum/662060-classifieds-march-april-2012-a.html

Where are you located in the north east? Mech in new Rochelle is a great shop. The owner is named Mike. Has been in the porsche business for years.
