Can anyone help me find a used working 996tt motor?

Hello everyone,

My 996 turbo engine needs to be rebuilt. I think the head might be cracked. Instead of rebuilding the motor I was looking to simply swap out another motor. I looked on ebay and the cheapest I found was $11,500 with a core exchange. I just thought I would reach out the the forum if anyone had a cheaper solution or has one that they want to sell.

Thank you.

-Vince.

Vince...I have a head from my blown engine that I will sell to you. What makes you think it's a cracked head and not just a blown head gasket?

I don't have any fluids mixing just oil dumping out of the exhaust. I had a reputable look at it. He already took it apart and told me that he thinks my head is cracked.

If your rings are good, then a new head might be your cheapest option. How many miles?
