It's headed down to Automobile Associates today (for those who aren't in New England, they're a Porsche specialty shop in CT that does everything from full restorations to race car builds; visiting their shop is our version of a millenial kid walking into Harry Potter world at Universal Studios for the first time). I stopped by on Friday to chat about what's going on. They have seen these issues before, but they agree that the oil analysis and the lack of debris on the oil plug is a good sign. Apparently, though, if there was metal debris in the oil, it might not register on Blackstone's oil analysis because the bits would be larger than their filter screen (>30 microns or something like that).

I believe that Auto Associates will be trying to pinpoint the sound, pulling the sump pan to check for debris, and possibly scoping the cylinders (although the sound isn't consistent with bore scoring). I'll keep everyone posted when I hear more.
