Boxster S 2003 Engine issue

Hi Cloudsurfer

Thanks for explaining. That helped.

I cant say how they came to that conclusion. All I know is that they removed the engine to have a look at things.

How about the oil leakage they first mentioned when I had a major service done and then they rechecked 2 weeks later, concluding there was no leakage. Couldnt this leakage be the cause of the failed engine?
