Basically everything in the rebuild is time consuming, difficult to source, and definitely not for the inexperienced especially where machining is involved. Mario L. has some insider input from rebuilding these engines over 20 years. There were only 2700 made, so it's not like there are a bunch in junk yards to pull parts or a huge owners group making rebuild parts financially attractive. When I was faced with an $8k bill just to do the bottom end (very rare failure), I had to let the car go for parts. It's a tough pill to swallow, but all the more reason to buy a good one up front instead of going for a good deal.
