@tempest411 I payed for the welding 50 Euros, the rest was my hobby. I do not believe that I get an S2 head including the shipping to Europe for this price. Usually S2 heads are rare, the broken timing chains a a common problem.
Totally amazing work and dedication! The time you put in on this is probably worth more than the cost of a new engine, but it's great that you did this and I envy your skills!
@batlin I am a private and I do such works for pleasure. Nevertheless a workshop would have asked about 7000 Euro including an exchange head. The total work have been about 200 hours. A lot of people in Germany are payed less than 35 Euros an hour.
@irina25661 : I just bought a used head for my 1990 s2 cabriolet for $300. I spent $350 more on new valves, seals,guides, tentioners, etc. i would never buy one from Porsche. Of course its that expensive from them. But it doesnt have to be and that was alot of work you had to do. But still congrats on hard work done!
@BigBadTurboM3 That is the difference. I was looking over weeks for new valves but I found no offer fr less than $50 each! And a used head was much higher in price as the $300 you paid, Congratulations!
Nice work.. should remind everybody to keep an eye on their engines regulary.

Did you try getting a used head or even just parts from the United States? They are much less expensive there. No VAT!

@2610buck Yes, meanwhile I run it for 15000 km in 15 months. No further problem.

@2610buck
I needed some 200 hours for the job. But of course I work much slower than a professional and I spent a lot of time producing the specific tools.

Now you'll understand why the head is repaired and not exchanged by a new one.

I can buy a 944 with that money,about 6 to 8 g's in good condition!

Thats a 944 s2 right? How much does the cylinder head cost? The s2 has a 3.0l engine
chrismusclemanone 2 years ago
A spare head from Porsche for the S2 is over 4000 Euro plus 1000 Euro for the camshafts not included.
