3000 rpm

Ive got nothing productive to add, other than seems to be a more common problem than I thought. The engine in my car has been replaced during prior ownership, with a 2002 S-engine. Maybe they didnt do the flywheel at that time. Receipts show clutch components, but no flywheel.
Are there visible clues if a dual mass flywheel has gone past it's lifespan?

My 03 base Boxster has done it for the last 160k miles and I assume it did so for 20k before I bought it. It’s very minor and something I have long ago tuned it out, unless I am looking for it.

Nice blast from the past with all the wise old contributors.

Hey Husker, how are you doing?

I have never had this issue with my 2001 S (knock on wood) but my base 2001 had this issue until I replaced the Dual Mass Flywheel. I did that when I replaced the IMS bearing. Yes, that was a few years ago.

Hi Jager.

I'm on the correct side of the dirt. Been a yr since I got the engine back for my CSS b/c of bore scoring, bought an 89 928 S4 5--spd almost a yr ago, had a heart attack a wk before Christmas, and I've lost 25 lbs. Typical yr at the Husker Boxster household.

My 997 C4S custom built motor is starting to use oil in cylinder #5. Changed out the fuel injector but appears to be too late, the rings are shot due to carbon/glazing. Going to think about my next steps for that repair.

How's the rocket science business? I was on vacation this week and got called-in to support one of our launches at the Cape. Never a dull moment.

Healthwise I'm doing OK, just getting older and a little slower... LOL.
