I haven't asked him to tear the motor apart, but he's very experienced with these motors and he gets zero compression when attempting to restart -- said he could dig in but it would be $$ wasted. There are failure modes beyond IMS in these engines, so this could be another example.

I have a diaglink porsche code reader @ PO343 Phase sensor 1 (camshaft Hall-effect sensor 1) + PO107 general engine code (these came up after I cleared the originals accidentally & then tried to restart).

I don't want to scare people who have had the IMS done - we all know there are some other failure modes out there no matter what you do. These are great cars, but sometimes the engines fail.
