Answer 2

It is no more complicated than any modern day inline four cylinder overhead cam engine. You will need to remove the head and the piston-rod assembly from the bearing that spun and the crankshaft, get them refurbished (ground). Assembly is like any other inline four cylinder overhead cam engine.

Answer 3

Get a new engine- much easier to deal with.  If you are not familiar with a Porsche, it's just not worth it.
