Boxster is all back together finally and I started it up today. It works so I must have done something right. I did notice a lifter tapping noise for the first few minutes of warming up but eventually it went away. Any thoughts on if this is normal? My thought was since the car was sitting with no oil in it for 2 months it just needed to get re-lubricated.

That's what mine did even after pumping up the lifters with oil before assembly. So long as it cleaned up you should be good to go. Welcome to the "I changed my own IMSB" club! Way to go!

Thanks James! I feel better now! I'm glad to have that project behind me. I drove the car to work today and so far so good. Looking forward to the top down later! Just in time for nice weather!
