My wife and I recently purchased a used 1998 Silver Boxster with 41k Kilometers or about 25k miles. My questions are about which updates to the engine are immediate and what others can be phased in at particular mileage. We are the third owner and in the last 5 years it has had oil changes and two roof actuator maintenances. I have read lots from Jack Rabey, Wayne at Pelican, LN Engineering and Pedro's Garage and have Wayne's book and the Bentley manual on order. As a licensed aircraft mechanic I feel most work is possible at home. I intend to start with the IMS bearing, RMS, spin on filter and magnetic drain plug. I read about air/oil seperators, timing chain components, water pumps and thermostats and would like some guidance on the timing to install and service or update these and any other suggested items.
Can anyone provide a drawing for tooling required for the RMS or advice.
The car is put away for the winter now which is an ideal time to prepare for new year.
Thanks
