One of my secret weapons for head scratching problems on my 911 is a recently retired Mechanic that is a factory trained Porsche mechanic that worked for the local dealer since the 1980s. He rebuilt my 915 transmission, and has all the right tools and the experience to do it right the first time. He said in the 80s he would average three oil change and valve adjustments per DAY, as well as other things.
He has a GIANT tool box he has built over 40 year working as a mechanic. He has a ton of the specialty tools for working on G model 911s. The dealership was ready to toss them in the trash in the mid 2000s and he just let them fall into his tool cabinet.
He is a great resource for knowledge of how to do a project. If he said I could have his tool cabinet, I would have to refuse as I could not park my car in the garage any longer. And I don't ever want to need that many tools!
