I dont want anyone to think I am trying to scare the boxster community. My whole point of this post is to let people know what may be happening in their cars.
I am the normal boxster owner...I dont track, it is my daily driver, I love to rev it up on the twisties and a long strait road screams for a 0-100 test drive.
I change the oil and care for the care like a baby. Aside from a little hesitation on cold start up, I thought it drove fine. Unknown to me I had all of these things wrong with the car.
Tappets are one thing, but read here about chain tentioners...

and we all know about the IMS.
I was all confident about letting it blow its self up and replaceing the whole motor until I heard about the aftermarket companies not replacing the motors due to fine print reasons. Then I read my contract. Pretty scarry if read with a critical eye.
That is why I sent it there to be fixed before it became a paper weight.
As far as costs go, I am hopeful that the warrenty company will pick up the bill, so I am out 200$. So for those without warrenty, I suggest you call Mr. Raby and inquire about prices.
