another dead boxster @#$%!

[Jake Raby]

I won't complete an IMSR without doing the RMS and clutch, all the way or not at all is my motto..

These things will be done on Pat's Boxster, but it is a tiptronic, so the course of action is different.

I told Pat that I'd stop at the IMSR procedure on his engine and not go further, because it is a 2002, a tip and had great leakdown and compression numbers, indicating good chamber filling/ good lifters..

Pat is going to do whats most important and thats wise, he has a budget and at the same time doesn't want to be driving a mobile grenade that he KNOWS has the pin pulled due to the rubber that we found in the sump plate.

Pat is going just far enough, his engine's biggest weak point is the IMS bearing, not all model years and engine sizes have the same compromises as others..

I'll post the whole process next week..
