I tested my cam deviation numbers on my 02 S using my Durametric. Bank 1 was like 7.8 and bank 2 4.3. I tested last year and I was running around 4 for both. Since then I’ve added 1500 miles so I’m a bit surprised it can swing that much. My oil filter that I did about 800 miles ago was spotless as they have all been since I’ve owned (2years). Is there anything else I should consider before I take to the shop? 4-5k will be a tough pill to swallow so I’m keeping figures crossed.
Info on car:
68k
Annual porsche Service up until I bought.
All last 5k miles.
IMs/clutch
Plugs/coils
Suggestions?
Thanks.
