Hi,
As stated, they can fail a 2nd time even more. Moreover, the RMS is a
Wear Part, that is, it actually makes contact with the spinning crankshaft. Consequently, every Boxster will have it's RMS replaced if it
lives long enough - the RMS will simply wear out. Failure at 27k mi. is leaning toward the high side of an RMS failure - the highest mileage failure I've heard about is 36k mi. But, the odds are definitely in your favor, from all reports, there appears to be only about a 5% chance of a 2nd failure. Mine failed at 4k mi. - now, at 24k mi. (and 5 years later), everything is Dry as a Desert!
So, just go ahead and enjoy the Car! Worrying about it is really pointless. Just inspect the underside frequently for any seepage and react to whatever you find. Good Luck!...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
