Jim, you really seem to have some indepth knowledge of how the boxster motor works, are you a mechanic or have you hobby rebuild/raced the car or something? Generally that type of knowledge about a specific platform is only known by guys who either build the motors or race the cars.

Hi,
Thank you for your kind words. Actually, I have been racing for almost 25 tears (SCCA Club, Spec, Formula Ford, currently Formula Vee) and have been an avid enthusiast since I was 18. I also am an avid Auto-Xer.
I never had the Free Cash to afford this, so I was forced to learn to do my own repairs just to participate. Same goes for Racing. A few years ago, just for
********************s & Giggles, I earned several ASE Certifications (6). Despite what I had picked up through the years, I still learned a lot doing this. Finally, I have been fortunate to have had several friends and associates, much smarter than I am, help me flatten my Learning Curve considerably. I've rebuilt numerous Engines in my life from Nissan L-20 Series, Lotus 900 Series, Lotus Twin Cam, Kent, Cosworth, Jag + a number of both Ford and GM SmallBlocks.
You are very knowledgeable as well, I enjoy reading your posts and learning of your own in-depth knowledge. I learn something from nearly every one of your posts.
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
