I’ve done everything but tear down the top end. Which is what 3 of the top Bay Area Porsche shops concluded after checking out the car.
I guess I wasn’t clear tho. I am not looking to permanently clear the 1341. Just clear it long enough to pass smog. This is what the shop has been doing for me since 2019. I was even talked into an expensive oil additive, that’s how desperate I was. Frankly, I think they feel guilty for diagnosing the issue as ground wires, etc. which I spent in the neighborhood of $2000+ for with no improvement. So I am just thankful they have hung in there with me at all.
If there was a Durametric tool that could do this for me, I would buy one. Guessing they must be horrendously expensive tho.
The car really runs great and the CO2 and other smog numbers are great. So I have no reservations about driving the car.
