Ok so my options as presented to me by the shop.

New engine from Porsche at $20k plus fitting.

Used engine but they can't find one.

Spend 15 hrs extracting engine & splitting the case, diagnose & fix the issues, spend 15 hrs refitting everything.

Option 3 will cost 30 hrs labour at $125/hr plus taxes & plus whatever it costs to remedy to fault.

Damn!

You need to get to the shop & see the evidence of this in the oil filter! The shop should show you this. Before you go call on the phone & tell them you can't afford to fix it & what you owe them so far for the bad diagnosis. Have the car towed to 1 of the other shops mentioned earlier!
