The engine got removed from the car. A Porsche mechanic find that the timing went got off and that the damage to the engine is hard to evaluate unless taking the engine apart.
Hmm. Interesting title to this post if the engine hasn't been opened up and IMSB failure confirmed. Several other failures can result in timing changed and oil leaking.
