that's not the point i'm trying to make. It's understandable that porsche parts and repairs cost more but it is not understandable that a porsche engine or drivetrain should fail much sooner than a toyota because it is a performance car. I was not redlining and racing my 944. if it is a track car or race car then that makes sense.

One thing to remember is ANY 20+ year old car that has been through who realy knows how many owners/jiffy lube/ who knows what else will need a certain amount of maintenance to keep them running and dependable, put it into perspective. When is the last time you saw a mid 80's anything on the road that looked half as good as your Porsche? These cars are like wives, they demand a certain amount of patience and attention to avoid throwing in the river...

could be a clogged oil pickup tube. Start with the easy stuff; change the oil and filter. Is oil leaking at the filter? I messed up my oil filter gasket and cranked the car once. It ran for maybe 5 seconds and ejected about 3 quarts of oil. Are the wire properly connected to the oil pressure sender? Lifter noise indicates that the sender is right; but then again these are noisy engines.
Next step would be drop the oil pan and have a look.
