I feel your pain- I've also had some unusual problems with my car but they were the mechanics fault and not Porsches and weren't as severe as yours. There's been a base engine for sale on CR-VAN lately. I think a long-time Porsche mech. from N Van has it and it has rebuilt heads-$3600) I think it's a 2.7. The ad said he could install. Maybe all you need is a short block? than again a 3.6 sure might turn 2 negatives into a positive! It doesn't sound like you want out of the car yet.
