Shortlived Boxster engines survey

[ccjazz]

So, I expect my indie will be having a good look at the oil filter he removes. Other than a thorough visual inspection of the engine and clutch mating area...would there be any other specific things we should be looking for?

I've never had the car in this shop before but he comes highly recommended and I do want to use him exclusively going forward.

Don't want to start this relationship off on the wrong foot.
