LOL! Three engines in under 80k...when your ims goes, you'll be on the phone with Jake, asking for advice and help (like I was).

Nope, IF(not when) my IMS fails or whatever else could happen to cause the engine to fail I'm selling my Boxster as a roller. Then moving to a late model c5 z06.

I have no doubt that Jake Raby can do good work on these cars and he is a nice fellow but some of these failures especially the lifters, no other mechanic that I know of that works on Porsches has even said this was ever an issue. It seems like every engine Jake works on has 15-20 bad lifters....by 60k....
