Shortly after I purchased my 911 (I was new to Porsches) I had it tech'd by a local shop who also does a lot of race and performance work. The car had a recent 60k service by the dealer who sold it to me. I was told I needed a valve adjustment. Since the 60k included valves, the shop telling me I needed valve work didn't compute.
I friend confirmed that #6 was ticking a bit and "for a 6pack" he'd show me how to do it. I called the dealer (I had now owned it for a few months) and he said "bring it in, we'll fix it". He ended up re-doing all of the valves for me.
Two lessons I learned, 1)A shop can smell a rookie Porsche owner a mile away and will recommend anything and 2) It's sometimes not as bad as they make it sound in #1.
