When you getter done we we wanna hear her run. Maybe a u-tube video.

Written message above is a Southern slang, not misspelled.

Well on one hand its definitely a shame that the car had the issue to begin with. On the up side it has to be comforting to know the rest of the engine is in that good of a condition after 10 years and 122K miles.

SS, I know you want to sell this car in a year, but I would really recommend you do the internals upgrades from Flat6Innovations and at the very least, the IMS bearing upgrade.

If you did the whole shooting match that they sell, the motor would be rock-solid and you should be able to add at least the hard cost of the parts to the value of the car and it will sell far faster than another boxster without those parts installed.

Just a thought.

Success !!!!

Well after a busy weekend under the boxster shes all sorted

Engine fully rebuilt and reinstalled and is running sweeter than ever

I'm so happy to have her back on the road, I even fitted my new hood yesterday too so I can actually see out of my rear window again !

I have some pics etc of teh rebuild work but cant upload them from work so I will try later on if I get a chance as Im working away from home just now, but its a good feeling knowing my boxster is now parked outside in the carpark instead of at home with no engine in it

p.s. the engine rebuild really was nowhere near as difficult as people madke them out to be, its just very time consuming !

Hi Steve...you need to cut back the URL to the .JPG extension for [ link] or [ img ] to work. Here you go:
