Brand new 2002 Boxster owner (as of tomorrow) and, as a result, I'm wondering if people can help me with estimated labour hours to correct the PPI issues...

Took to a shop, and the following were recommended to be done immediately:

* Fix leaky spark plug tube on bank 1
* Replace rusty ignition coils (all 6)

No indication of an IMS issue, but that's likely because the dealership did a full oil change after purchase. According to the PPI, the engine was in great condition, although there was a bit of plastic in the filter from a chain guide.

Anyone have an idea how long it takes to fix the ignition coil / spark plug tube issues? I know the engine placement does add some complexity to the fixes, but I have no idea if this is a 5 hour or 15 hour fix.

(I'm also thinking of doing a preventative IMS replacement / retrofit at the same time for piece of mind, and having the chain guides replaced during that.)
