Patience is a virtue...
I'm completely confused by my first mechanic's diagnosis, the second opinion will definately be worth it. I picked the car and dropped it off at the new shop (who has rebuilt 911's and 986's).
From my inspection today
(1) no indicator lights are lit, originally my oil light was flickering
(2) no oil is mixed in with the cooliant
(3) cooliant level and oil levels are fine
(4) the car is driveable, but there is a faint clicking noise
However, with lower than normal compression in #3 (145psi) and #4 (152psi) that the rest (165psi)... I maybe suspecting something wrong.
I'm also suspecting the water pump, at the breakdown there was a squeel. I beleive this may have been the water pump becoming out of round.
It sits now til Monday, as there are a few porsches ahead of mine. I'm currenlty out $200 from the 50 mile tow and shop diagnostics.
