My first and last Porsche motor! I can live with a plastic window on "a Porsche car" but can't do motor vital parts made of cheap plastic sorry mate....

70k and already out of specs?! now why would that not surprise anyone
Interesting thing is that I have the deviation but have tons of low end power. In fact, with nothing in the oil filter (plastic, etc.), I am not sure that I want to tear the engine down until I see 'something' (either performance or visual) that indicates there's a problem!
I understand the -8 is an indication but I'd like something to corroborate the real issue.
