Funny you should say that TRE, One of the cylinders I was checking has a bad leak from the exhaust valve. On a aircraft engine, you can access the rockers and tap them (called striking) with pressure on them to knock off the carbon. This cured the leaking valve. You can do this on your Porsche but the valve covers must come off and it's ard to get in there to strike the rocker.
