I don't have history but engine seemed to be virgin when I bought it. I changed IMS bearing, water pump and serpentine pulleys. Original oil and filter were without particles. Original IMS bearing was in perfect shape. I rebuilt transmission (with some issues). I drive car in this condition for a while. Transmission has some noises but I would expect them to be periodical (due to bent teeth maybe, I hope it would go away after break-in). Also, when clutch is off there is no change. Crackling sounds like some loose metal pieces, very close to what exhaust makes just after engine is turned off. This is Boxster S '02 with 68K miles.
