You can actually replace the cylinder liner on the Boxster engines so it is not like you need a new engine if that ever happens to you. There are many options out there. One for reference is shown here:
Porsche servicing, repairs, engine rebuilds, reconditioned wishbones and cars for sale - near Bolton, North West England.

In my case the issue ended up being on the head itself, no cracks anywhere on the cylinder sleeve.
