No, I had it towed to a another mechanic in the area. This guy was straight with me and very detailed. Its a porsche specific indy I found. After he saw the filter and checked the car he showed me that the sound was coming from the center of the engine and likely a bearing. He had a lot of blocks, cranks, parts and engines in the shop and was actually able to how me which part was likely damaged with parts from a engine he was rebuilding.
Still starts up but the end is inevitable.
He said he's never seen an IMS bearing go on any 2005 he's worked on. First thing he told me on the phone was he needs to check the filter. Soon as he saw me you should have seen his face, he was more distressed than I was to tell me the news.
