Yes. I have rotated the crank numerous times in order to verify cam position. (Always clockwise). After having found a couple of good threads about checking and setting timing, I read and reread and reread...those posts to be sure that I would know what I am looking at. To be sure, I checked and rechecked all four cams and there orientation to each other at top dead center compression as well as exhaust. Thanks to "Insite" for his great write up on the timing topic.
I did the leak down test on all six cylinders with the pistons in the compression as well as exhaust positions. I pinned the crank for cylinders 1&4. For the others, I held the crank with a wrench. I performed the test on all cylinders twice getting similar numbers both times.
I appreciate your asking me questions that I think I know the answers to. While I have tinkered with cars for most of my life, and even ran a national chain exhaust shop for a few years, my technical knowledge is very limited. I am an eager "learn as you go" Porsche enthusiast.
