Cylinder sleeves
I was reading in Excellence magazine that in the 98/99 Boxster's they re-sleaved previously discarded casting due to the high demand for these cars, and that these sleeves were prone to failure
I found a '98 that had it's engine replaced about 5000km ago due to a sleave failure. How would I know if the replacement engine dosen't have this or another 'defect'? Is there a manufacture date stamped on it somewhere?
Does the fact that this car has had the engine replaced make it more, or less valuable?
Or should I be looking for 2000+ year Boxters?
