Thanks, JFP and DLUD. If I'm not mistaken, my '03 S (3.2L) is a 5 chain, correct?

Not that I want to second guess JFP but I thought the 5 chain Boxster went to 2002, 911 to 2001 and then the 3 chain Boxster from 2003 and the 911 from 2002. I'm pretty sure my 03 S is a 3 chain.

You are correct; too much time out in the sun for an old man and I suffered a brain fart...….
