I paid about 900-1000 bucks for a PPI with a bore scope, and fresh plugs since we were in there about a year ago. I believe the breakdown was: PPI for $450.00, the leak-down and compression with Bore scoring was $525.

Different scenario with the older 911 engines which should be compression tested to help understand health of engine.

It’s at best 2 hours of work with no material via the spark plugs.
after doing it and seeing it, the spark plug method is fine.
I would have not problem believing a slight bit of scoring exists on every car, only visible via the sump because it’s at the base of the cylinder which is where it starts….again on every engine
it continues due to over revs, bad behavior when cold, old oil etc etc
I think this is just a bad design. Like almost every other flat 6 except the 3.2
this one is a combination of stroke angle being very steep, and being cheap regarding the cylinder costing.
the fix is to use the proven nickelsill coating.
but, these prices I’m seeing above are ridiculous.

Hergesheimer in Lake Forest PPI'd a 997.1 that I'm in the process of buying. I asked Mark how much for a bore scope inspection and he said, he wouldn't even consider it on a 997.1. He believe's whole bore scoring is overhyped and very rare. Give him a call and see what he says.

I mean if you think about it, Magic Johnson only stopped playing basketball in the NBA because he visited a doctor….

Here in SC I had a local Indy do a full PPI (Post Purchase Inspection) which included borescoping all cylinders for about $300.
