Dropping OIl Pan to look for bits of IMS or Cam Chain guides
Not a Porsche recommended procedure, but has anyone done this? My indy mechanic recommends me do this at my next DIY oil change, and take pics of anything suspicious looking. Is Ultra Black RTV Gasket Silicon better than blue?

FWIW, I have a 2001 S with 63,000miles on the clock.
