Doc, you sound like just the guy to clear up a couple of things (for me, anyway) on "rebuilt" Box motors.
What, exactly, would you say consitutes a "rebuild" of a Boxster engine?
On the air cooled 911s each cylinder was separate from the case, so they could be, and were, replaced as a set (along with the pistons) if wear or damage made the old ones unuseable.
I assume this is no longer the situation with the 986, since the cylinders are bored in the block, not unlike most other engines. Can a shop actually install new pistons in an engine block , or are the cylinders and pistons matched at the factory, such that it is not practical?
