In the world of old used Porsche parts/engines, "things" are not always what they seem.
I pulled apart my 2.4L & found a reduced base circle cam.....humm, whatdaya suppose these numbers mean?
Opened another one & found the oil pump had a hole that corroded thru the case....then patched with some kina' JBweldish stuff. 911 motors are like a box of choclates....
Some of your fellow professional mechanics are HACKS.

the 2,7S i bought (good price, couldn't resist) has at least one Motor Meister rebuild on it. the guy i bought it from said it ran great (as you would expect, but i do trust this guy) although he says it has some leaks and may be pulling some studs (sounds like no inserts...)
i'm expecting quite the chamber of horrors in there when i get it open... we will see, and you will see the results here...
