working on your old Porsche is mandatory for ownership.
Not mandatory, but for most folks, having a car that needs regular maintenance usually means doing it yourself or getting a more modern (boring) and convenient car. For me, I can only afford what the rich guys kick to the curb. I'd rather drive something interesting and have to fix it myself. If folks didn't hate working on cars themselves, I'd have to buy a newer car like everyone else.

This car is my driver
Good for you 5String43 - mine is a daily driver also.

And yes, the guys at the shop definitely told me that a stud in cylinder #6 had pulled, not broken
I've heard of this before with an aluminum case 3.0, but I think it is rare. Sorry to hear that.
