Problem is, that still won't be bullet proof, as Jake indicates that there's like 20 other modes of failure for the M96 engine. It's all too dizzying for me. I gotta change all these internal parts to beefed up parts and/or add these nifty tricks so that my engine doesn't kaboom? Come on. For my 01 986 (now at 70k miles), I just have been doing the recommended maintenance items & changing the oil at its recommended intervals. Have added no band aids. Amazingly, the car is still running. At 12 yrs old now, even if the engine croaks (and it probably will cause there's a lot of modes of failure), I already got my grins, and will just move away from an M96. Now back to enjoying my Boxster, as I know its time is limited.
