Thanks for the replies................

and I take away the general feeling that these engines are marginal, at best, and that there is a 50/50 chance of having some failure before reaching that 100K miles mark. I do understand that other brands fail as well, but normally to the tune of a $3K repair jobs, not $20K+, and the cars costing at only 1/2 of the price of a Boxster.

As others have said, don't obsess about it, and I take that as good advise. I'll continue to drive the car, enjoy the ride, and perform the scheduled maintenances when required. I hope I can report to you in five years that my car is still 'alive', but............if it breaks, it breaks. How disappointed I will be, but I think from then on, you'll see me driving in something else that has a more proven reliability record, i.e., Honda, BMW, small block Chevy, or something similar.
