This vehicle was one of the Boxsters that had an issue with the engine cylinder sleeving during manufacture. The engine had about 8k on it when it failed.

I am the second owner and bought it with 11k miles. I have the full Porsche service history on it. I did replace the oil and will watch for subsequent leaking. If it does, Jim wins! Jim, I hope you darn well lose!

Will let you all know. (Yes, new crush ring, filter and O-ring installed)
