Yeah! That's the whole point, curiosity! What an earth could go wrong in a well-maintained Porsche at such low mileage?
The crank moves, but I didn't try turning it a whole revolution just to avoid messing things up even more. Not that it matters, of course.
Also, I got this code below, indicating the cams at one bank are not in sync with the crankshaft.
Even though the oil was clean, I dropped the sump and found these tiny steel goodies:
They seem chain roller pieces to me. Luckily, this is a 5-chain engine, so there's 4 more if one's shot.
The internals otherwise are looking great.
