Default :?: Cam housing oil leak - how hard to fix
A PPI of a 3.2 911 that I want to buy revealed oil leaks coming from the cam housing. The car had a top end 4k miles ago, but according to the PPI mechanic, the shop who did the work (some small shop in Alabama) did not use the proper sealer to put everything back together. The car is currently at a reputable Long Island shop and I am being quoted $1500 and 2 days for this repair. While I am waiting to hear back from the owner, I wanted to get input from the group on how hard of a job this would be to a new 911 owner with no engine rebuilding experience. I know I would be into it for the cam tools and an engine stand, but what else?

I am definitely up for the challenge but I am not sure if I am biting off more than I can chew.

Thanks,
Mat
