I'd then pull the throttle body and see if it isn't flooded with oil. That may explain the no-start issue. Worst case sceanrio... you sucked a bunch of oil into the engine... and that'll require correction.

Do some searches on "white smoke 986 Boxster"... "AOS failure 986 Boxster"... you'll find of lots of information.

so the mechanic at my dealership got the car to start and now it sounds like the lifters are also toast, he quickly shut it down and we are going to move forward with examining the plugs and changing the aos

Man... I hope it's something simple like the AOS. Lifters toast? Keep us posted... we like closure.

Best wishes. Se you around.
