You specified cyl six but I read some on P1360 and that said cyl 4 so I don't know how you know it's cyl 6. If it was cyl 2 would that be a different code?

Thanks Bob, you have always been really helpful on stuff like this.
Maybe I am a bit confuse and don't know how to search on the net. Its an 09 Cayman S, PDK.
This is what I found:
A "cayman S code 1360" refers to a P1360 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in a Porsche, indicating a valve lift control malfunction specifically on cylinder 6. The underlying cause can range from a failed valve lift control solenoid or a clogged oil passage to potentially more severe issues like a faulty lifter or even bottom-end engine damage. A diagnostic scan is crucial to pinpoint the issue, and repairs may require significant labor, especially if internal engine components are affected.
A valve lift control should be the same as a VVT solenoid? If that's is bad, would the entire bank mis fire on that side of the engine and not just #6 cylinder or is there a specific valve lift inside the engine for cylinder 6?
