Aside from the chains and pads themselves, i DO know ill need to Porsche specialty tools which have ready to go although if there's anything else ill need, any information would be much obliged. Ive tackled timing jobs before on other branded cars however a 99 boxster will be a first for me, any tricks or items i might need would be helpful

I'm about to change the wear pads on an engine that's out of the car. From what I've seen of the procedure, I wouldn't attempt it with the engine in the car. Sure, it can be done, but it's also possible to check the compression while hanging upside down from a trapeze. Why make a difficult task more difficult? Newsguy is right; it's not that tough to drop the engine and transmission.
