" I asked about the RMS, but he said if it's not leaking, not to change it. He mentioned they are very tricky to seat perfectly. We agreed he'd look at the spark plug oil tubes, serpentine belt, pulleys, etc. He is going to change the AOS."
Those are all items that a diy mechanic can replace with the engine in the car.There are plenty of examples of exactly that here in Search. I too am doubting the title "Experienced Mechanic" - certainly not with a Boxster Ask here for a referral to better M96 mechanic in Tampa. Look for one Approved to do the LN Engineering IMSB for example.
