Engine update

Well it looks like one of the timing chain ramps or something else at the back of the engine broke. So far it looks like the crank, rods, pistons and cylinders are all good. I'll need a new intermediate shaft and a new IMSB as crap got in my LN single row pro. I'll also get a new set of lifters as they could have metal particles in them that can't be flushed out. They are working up the numbers on what it will cost to rebuild my engine. I already bought a complete 987 air box to have installed as the engine came out of the car. Depending on how bad the numbers are I may put some Fabspeed sport headers on too. As they say, as long as you're in there.

If I live that long, maybe you'll be reading a story about my 35 years of Boxster S ownership in Panorama or Excellence in another 20 years!
