Also, people should know that putting the higher compression 2.2 pistons (T, E, or S) does not raise the actual working compression as much as is thought.

In theory it would raise compression over 1 point (1.5 as I remember)
but in Actual use it is much less than that and closer to only 1/2 point.

so that 2.4T with the 2.2T pistons is actually only slightly more compression than stock and no free lunch

rebuilding any 911 motor (even a stock 2.0T) is an expensive proposition
if your going to rebuild a 2.2 you can probably rebuild a 2.7 for nearly the same parts and labor

all motors not currently running are really just cores until you open them up and prove otherwise. Lots of times they can be started and used, but its really an unsafe gamble and I'd rather spend an extra thousand up front for a known runner than roll the dice.
