Thanks for the response

78k miles. $115 for labor. Im into the boxster for about the same as the repair estimate. I dont think the previous owner kept up with the maint. Im guessing it is the plug tubes too. However, i have read about IMS failures and that freaks me out but on the other hand it seems to be the dual bearing. Also read that those seals could leak as well. I figured while he is there for IMS RMS is worth it. Im not too sure of the valve covers. Short reading i have done is it is a sealant not a gasket. Water pump was done a year or two ago so good there. Ill ask about the chain pads. The clutch im partial on he is there so might as well get it done. Not sure of the WaT done to it. If you guys dont think this number is not too far off from parts and labor im okay with pulling the trigger and bringing this car to true value and base lining the maint. At these numbers though i feel i should have picked up the s.
