I just purchased an 87 in excellent condition. The engine has 110,000k with 5,000 on a top end rebuild. I reviewed the reciepts and reseached the shop that did the work and found them to have very strong reputation for quality work. I viewed the car on the rack and it was completely dry. It has not leaked a drop in my garage. It runs and sounds strong. Should I still go ahead and have a leak down test done? This is my first Porsche, so any insights are appreciated.

rscredon: sorry about that--I didn't mean to be the "do a search!" kind of guy. but I had no idea what a leak down was and assumed you wanted to learn about it. Good luck and enjoy the ride. Jack
