Mr. Merlin,
Thanks for your unbiased and objective outlook regarding my situation. The 'bandwagon' approach has no place on the 928 forum. I wish that all the people who don't know me who have criticized my car had drivenit to Kevin's driveway. It was an impressive drive. The mechanic told me that he doesn't often see these cars in such good, original cosmetic condition as well. You are correct about the reasons the mechanic had for the oil squirt and excercise of the motor after fluid drainage- his goal was preventing further corrosion. I would have posted this publicly but it seems as though the mob is against me and I do not want you to be challenged or shunned on Rennlist.
I will keep you privately posted regarding progress until I can post affirmative results publicly.
You can email me about this if you want to.

All Best,
Allen
