The magazine is stating that it is cheaper to replace a 996 engine than to redo the sealing of a 964 block.


Is by re-sealing, you mean replacing the RMS in a 964 block, this is not true. That job would cost around $1,000 for a 993. A new engine for a 996 including labor to remove and reinstall would be around $10k, I think...


I wonder if by "re-sealing a 964" the mechanic is thinking about the "head/cylinder leak" that occured on some early 964's?? Though even that repair is probably $6-7K.


And not necessary on late 964's and all 993's...
