Also after repairs, I dug out the old filter and it did have small black plastic pieces in it.

I am by no means a porsche mechanic, however it should be as simple as removing the cam covers and resetting the timeing. While in there, replace the pads, they are cheap., replace the cam cover gasket, it usally leaks anyway.

I do know however that there is some kind of majic trick and inside knowledge when setting the cam timing.
It is a bit more complicated than that, and requires a set of special fixtures ($500-600) as well.......
