Obviously, a great service, and I know they're one of the best. I wish I were local to them. I'm just wondering if it's worth about $200 in shipping to have $200 in work done (assuming it would be around $200 for round trip shipping). I should have mentioned that there is an air-cooled-Porsche-experienced local machine shop that I'm going to investigate. They might have the same cleaning process or something similar. I'll see if they do this kind of case cleaning, or if it would be up to me to deliver a clean case to them.
