The original wear pads always wear & small pieces break off until around 80,000 miles they can be worn enough to alter camshaft timing. For this reason any 97-2002 Boxster should have the new improved material wear pads installed. I agree with post #2 about approximate hrs for sparkplug tube & coil repacement , if done while replaceing wear pads no additional labor.
What is involved in getting to the wear pads?
