He's got my 2001 Boxster S on the lift today, doing the LN Engineering IMS Retrofit. He informs me that I am lucky and have the double row bearing, which are much more reliable than the single row. I'm having him do the bearing, new clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing, new RMS, coolant flush, new water pump, new 160F thermostat, new drive belt, and finally new oil & filter.
If I could just have a brief moment of silence for my wallet, I'd appreciate it.
After this, though, I should be good for a looooong time
