Internal engine damage to my boxter 2001

i think you have to read between the lines on the promotor statement - it's a veiled shot at Jake.

re the op, i think you've been had by your shop. throw a cookie-sized piece of the cylinder wall into the cylinder and your car will do more than run rough and blow smoke. and from what i know, d-chuck was only a problem in the earlier engines.

do your research; jfp has given you some very sound advise. if you want to swap your engine regardless, that's a different thread.

It's premature to start thinking about replacement engines when you really don't know what's going on with yours. These are failed AOS symptoms and this should be the first place you look. +1 about getting another mechanic's opinion. For someone to throw around terms like "D chunk" without first digging into it and confirming where the issues are is bad IMO.

Agreed. I've moved the car to another Porsche shop which thought it sounded like an AOS issue, I won't know until next week, but it will be a huge relief if that is the problem.

Thank you again for the good input
