Just another thought. If this problem is of widespread and re-occurring nature I am also surprised there has not been some type of class action by owners to have Porsche extend warranty coverage on this repair.

This would explain the reports of some owners being accomodated with covered repairs and even new engines while others not(ie; complain vociferously and they'll concede to make you go away).

I've read that this is an engineering defect which would seem to be in violation of implied merchantability codes(caveat: I'm not an attorney).

Presumably this problem will continue over to the Cayman.

Anyone know what percent of the Boxster engines experience this problem? I've read its as high as 100%. This must be an exagerated estimate. I hope.
