I had sold him the car about a year earlier thinking that the engine was in great shape and that by the age and mileage it was past the chance of having the 'early Boxster' failure modes.

Wow, that`s crazy. Looks like the piston got seized and pulled the sleeve. I`ve never seen such a failure. These engines are truly amazing with all these unique failure modes
