Hi all,
I’ve been a member for years but rarely post.
Very long, sad story short: I blew the head gasket and scored no4 in my 944T some time ago. Garage removed and stripped the engine and sent bare block and head to machine shop. Then went bust. Owner disappeared and I couldn’t find car or engine. I have now located car, block and head but not engine internals. Unfortunately the bearing caps are not in the block so to get it back on the road, I need a complete engine. Turbo engines appear to be like rocking horse poo.
Am I on a hiding to nothing and facing breaking what’s left or is a replacement engine feasible?
Grateful for any help & advice.
